Fortnite: Battle Royale consistently receives updates with fresh challenges and rewards to entice players. However, deciphering the instructions can sometimes prove perplexing.
One frequently encountered challenge, such as during the TMNT Cowabunga event in Fortnite, involves landing at a hot spot on the map in Chapter Five, season one. Yet, without a clear understanding of what constitutes a hot spot, completing the challenge can be daunting, leading to missed rewards.
Here’s everything you need to know about landing at a hot spot in Fortnite and precisely what they entail.
What is a hot spot in Fortnite?
In Fortnite, hot spots denote random points of interest (POI) that offer abundant and superior loot, including supply drones, in each match. These areas typically attract more players than usual, particularly if they are lesser-known or less popular POIs.
During every Fortnite match, multiple hot spots are designated. Identifying a hot spot is simple: just open the map during the pre-game lobby or from the Battle Bus and look for a named POI displayed in gold font instead of white. The gold font signifies that the area is designated as a hot spot for that specific match.
Prior to jumping from the Battle Bus, inspect the map to pinpoint the locations of hot spots, particularly those along your flight path. This allows you to select the hot spot you intend to land at. However, brace yourself for combat, as many other players seeking high-quality loot are likely to converge there as well.
How to land at a hotspot in Fortnite
To land at a hot spot in Fortnite, locate a named POI with gold text and touch down within its confines. It’s crucial to land for the first time, ensuring that your feet make contact with the ground within the POI and its vicinity to satisfy any challenge requirements.
Exercise caution to avoid landing too far from the designated POI. If the objective is merely to touch down there, ensure you descend as directly above the POI as possible to receive credit for the challenge.
