What are Named Locations in Fortnite? Explained

The best way to describe Named Locations or POIs as they are called in Fortnite is to consider them as major points of interest on the map. Unlike Landmarks that have to be discovered in-game, Named Locations are labeled on the minimap. Even when not discovered, they appear as "???" on the mini-map, indicating that a major point of interest exists.

That said, when a Named Location is discovered for the first time, players are granted experience points as a reward. Over the course of the season, Named Locations often tend to remain unchanged. Nevertheless, there is always a possibility that they can be destroyed completely depending on the storyline. In Chapter 4 Season 3, there are 14 Named Locations or POIs that are present on the island.

Unlike Landmarks that contain limited loot, Named Locations tend to hold enough loot for entire Squads. Some even contain Vaults, and all of them have their own Capture Point. Securing these grants you valuable mid-tier loot during the early game. That said, some Named Locations are hot-drops, while others are much more calm and rarely see large-scale combat during the early game.

Those looking for a calm early game should consider visiting Named Locations such as Brutal Bastion, Knotty Nets, and Mega City. With the Jungle Biome puling most of the competition at the start of every match, these locations seldom see early-game combat. While there are a few expectations every now and then, for the most part, they are relatively safe areas.

Battle-hardened players looking to score some early-game eliminations should land at Named Locations such as Creeky Compound, Slappy Shores, and Shady Stilts. These areas are always hot-drop locations and are perfect for scoring some early-game eliminations. At times, they tend to be relatively quiet, but for the most part, combat breaks out as soon as players hit the ground.
