While the trailer does not provide any direct context on a supposed new map for the game, it does introduce a new diving mechanic that allows players to dive off a cliff and explore the depths of the in-game river. A closer look at the video also reveals there is a new beach location.

Interestingly enough, the brief trailer shows players picking up their fallen comrades, a feature that was unavailable in past updates. The trailer provides a sneak peek at several new cosmetic features, with characters sporting new skins while hopping on llama pogo sticks. The trailer also reveals that up to 1500 V-Bucks and more than 100 rewards are up for grabs, making this one of the most ambitious Battle Passes to be added to the game.

As you probably already noticed, there is still no official date as to when season 11, let alone Fortnite’s battle royale mode, will be available. Several reports have implied that a launch is expected to happen sometime this week. In either case, it’s quite clear that this leaked trailer and massive Fortnite blackout is undoubtedly bringing a lot of momentum to the upcoming Chapter 2.

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to the lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, a new Japanese-themed island has arrived with new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.
