5 Best Locations in Fortnite Battle Royale’s New Map Update

Grid Location C2

Just east of Junkyard Junction and the Haunted Hills is a small grouping of wrecked abandoned houses. This is a new addition to the map with the latest update, and though it doesn’t have its own name or the visual splendor of places like Tilted Towers or Snobby Shores, it’s still an absolute gem. This is a landing spot best suited to players that like to land outside of the busy main centers. In our experience, not many players are landing here at the moment, and even if they do, there’s enough loot here to pick your spot, grab a chest and then leave.

At best, there are three chests here, and there’s also plenty of floor loot. Look out for a chest in the northwest corner (you can see it in the above screenshot), and one at the southeastern end (just on the other side of the spire) which you’ll have to build up to. Once you’ve gathered some decent weapons and items, you’re in a great spot regardless of where the circle ends up: close enough to urban centers for more loot, or able to sneak away to isolated areas. Our top tip is to head east after you’ve plundered the area and locate the new motel just west of Anarchy Acres. There’s usually at least another two chests to be found here. If the Battle Bus didn’t take you anywhere near this area, consider visiting Junkyard Junction, too, since it’s heavy with chests that and worth spending a couple of minutes plundering if you’ve got the area to yourself.
