Fortnite has finally brought back its original Chapter 1 map in Season OG and here are some of the most iconic and well-known landing spots that players are likely to swarm when dropping into the classic BR map all over again.
Fortnite is one of the most popular games of the generation. With fast-paced gameplay, an almost never-ending roster of skins, and more to keep players coming back time and time again, it’s kept its hype alive for years on end.
And while the game may look very different from its initial form, players are now getting the chance to take a drop down memory lane.
The Fortnite Season OG update has sent fans back to the classic Chapter 1, which includes its iconic map complete with old fan-favorite POIs, weapons, cosmetics, and more.
However, it has been a long time since players have been able to dive into the original map. As a result, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best landing spots for Fortnite’s OG map.
Titled Towers
Titled Towers is one of the original battlegrounds of Fortnite and for good reason. Each house in the area is well-known and beloved. Between Big Ben and Main, players will find themselves thrust into the action when landing at Tilted Towers.
And while it may be a risk to land in such an area, the cover from the houses makes for a fantastic vantage point, one that can set you up for success if you are able to arrive early and truly cement your claim on the area.
Kevin the Cube at Loot Lake
Epic Games dropped a release trailer for their Fortnite OG Season 6 update stating: “Hi, Kevin,” showcasing a wave of fresh nostalgic updates that included Kevin the Cube’s return.
The fan-favorite purple cube known as Kevin, has been beloved by Fortnite fans since it was first added to the game in Chapter 1 Season 5. It has returned to the map in the exact location of Loot Lake where it was found all the way back in 2018 and is sure to be a hotspot.

Simply just land at the Loot Lake POI near the center of the map and you can’t miss it, where it can be seen directly under the floating island hovering in the sky. It is expected to move to various locations around the map just as it did over five years ago as further season updates and hotfixes are released for Season OG.

Shifty Shafts
While some players prefer to be up high and above the action, Shifty Shafts places gamers in the underground. As well as this, however, the surrounding houses always made for fantastic loot spots, with great weapons and tools available to find and use throughout the round.
For those who decide to land in Greasy Grove instead, Shifty Shafts is a great second location to venture to when looking for some action and wanting to take down other players ready for a standoff for the ages.
Dusty Depot
While Dusty Depot may not seem like much at first, this location became a great place to hide out and recover while the action was nearing its close. With great places to hide and mask yourself from incoming fire, the Depot remains a classic drop spot of the season 1 map, putting you in a favorable spot from the jump.
Fatal Fields
Who doesn’t love going to all-out battle in a beautiful and vibrant garden location? Fatal Fields, as the name suggests, was always a tricky place to find yourself in when playing through the OG map.
This picturesque area, which is likely to be very nostalgic for players, always felt like a death trap. At any moment, a sniper could appear from a surrounding area and try to take you down. Even more frightening, a player could be looming around the corner with a close-quarters weapon. Use this as your drop spot if you’re seeking an early fight.
Pleasant Park landing spot
When Fortnite players think of iconic areas for the game, Pleasant Park is likely to be high on their list. The area has it all. From buildings to scenery to surrounding mountains and vantage points.
With the return of the OG map, players are likely to once again dive headfirst into Pleasant Park, turning the beautiful and calm area into mayhem. And with some good loot in the buildings as well, a frenzy is sure to break out when players dive back down into Pleasant Park.
And there you have it. Some of the most iconic landing locations for the original Fortnite map. We’ve also got plenty of tips and tricks available to help you out, so make sure to check out our guide content:
