In Fortnite, like all battle royale games, you can sometimes win or lose based on where you land to start a match. The best landing spots can be thought of in different terms depending on the player. Dropping into heavy fire will sink your survival odds, but you could walk out as the sole survivor loaded with loot. Landing someplace quieter, far off the Battle Bus trajectory, may allow for a peaceful start, but will it get you optimal inventory to make it to the end? In this guide, we'll walk you through all the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 7. Make sure to check back each season as the map changes and we update this article regularly with new and emerging favorable locations.

Steamy Stacks

Steamy Stacks has been a reliable drop ever since Chapter 2 launched. It's not changed much at all across these seven seasons, but that just makes it a reliable landing spot with each new season of Fortnite. We love Steamy Stacks for its abundant loot, its weapon upgrade station, and especially its titular stacks, which you can ride out of the northeast corner of the map in a hurry. Whether you travel by stack or the everpresent UFO located in the parking lot, you'll leave Steamy Stacks with a full inventory and a quick getaway. It's the only location where you can drop in, loot up, then use its natural features to re-drop into a new area.

Lake Canoe

This quaint locale packs a lot of loot into a small space. With one main building plus a few sheds surrounding the small lake, this landing spot already has plenty of loot to open in chests, but if you're not satisfied, it also has tons of fishing spots and fishing rods, which should translate into full shields and great weapons. On top of that, it's unnamed on the map, so it doesn't usually get too crowded unless the Battle Bus is going right over it. There are always boats nearby too, and the lake feeds into the river that will take you south as needed.
