If you’ve been longing for classic POIs since the end of Fortnite OG, then you’re in luck, as the game’s latest mode Reload, brings a smaller version of the original map back to the game. Here are the best Fortnite Reload landing spots.
Gamers who have played Call of Duty: Warzone‘s Resurgence mode will feel right at home in Fortnite Reload, where teammates will continuously respawn as long as a member of the squad is still alive.
With 40 players total and just nine POIs on a small island, picking the right landing spot is imperative. That’s why I’ve put together this guide of the five best landing spots in Fortnite Reload so you can loot up and get ready for the constant stream of action.
5. Lil’ Loot Lake
Lil’ Loot Lake features just one house in the middle of the water, just like the OG Loot Lake. This makes it a tough spot to land, but if you can take control of it, you’ll be in a great spot. The house has weapons inside and underneath, while nobody will be able to get across the water to challenge you without you seeing them. Just keep someone watching the sky for enemies dropping in.
This is the ultimate Fortnite Reload stronghold—if you’re brave enough for the early fight.
4. Lone Lodge
Unlike some of the POIs that will follow on this list, Lonely Lodge isn’t what I would classify as a hot drop. Instead, it’s a fairly quiet location right at the top of the map, surrounded by trees. While this means you may find yourself short on action, Lone Lodge is a quiet place to gear up without the threat of constant attacks, and because the map is small, you’re not far away from the busier locations should you want to head into some battles.
3. Tilted Towers
I love Tilted Towers, and some of my favorite Fortnite memories are still ones made in this ultra-popular location. The nostalgia around the original hot drop location is strong, which is why it’s a good place to land, but not the best.
Tilted Towers is full of weapons and loot, but it’s also going to be heaving with enemies desperate to wipe you out. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you want to get straight into the heat of battle, it’s the best place to be.
2. Retail Row
Retail Row is an odd POI. Sometimes when you drop there, the place will be crawling with enemies. Other times, you’re the only one there. This 50/50 chance makes it worth the risk, as between the shops that line the car park and the houses beside it, there are plenty of opportunities to loot up.
Be careful if you rotate here later on though, as it used to be a haven for snipers who wanted to pick you off from a distance.
1. Pleasant Park
In the early days of Fortnite, Pleasant Park was my regular drop, and things haven’t changed in 2024. There are plenty of houses to ransack in the search for weapons and loot, and the buildings themselves provide good cover from enemy gunfire.
Up in the northwest corner, rotation to Lone Lodge, Tilted Towers, or Lil’ Loot Lake is easy, making it my top choice for where to land. It can be busy though, so be ready for combat.
