Discover Fortnite's Most Iconic Landmarks

Fortnite is a massively popular online game that has taken the gaming world by storm. It is an open-world game that allows players to explore a vast island, build structures, and engage in battles with other players. One of the most exciting aspects of Fortnite is the various landmarks scattered throughout the island. These landmarks offer players the chance to explore unique areas, find new loot, and gain experience points. In this article, we will discuss what landmarks are in Fortnite, how they work, and which ones are the best to visit.

What are Landmarks in Fortnite?

The best way to describe landmarks in Fortnite is to consider them as minor points of interest. Unlike the major points of interest (POIs) that are highlighted and have names on the minimap, landmarks are not labeled in any such manner and do not show up until and unless a player has physically entered the vicinity of the landmark. That said, a small chunk of experience points can be earned when a landmark is discovered.

Over the course of a season, landmarks tend to mostly remain the same. This holds true even if major POIs go through several iterations over the course of a few months. However, similar to POIs, landmarks can also be destroyed if there are certain changes that occur on the map.

In Chapter 4 Season 3, there are over 40 landmarks. They are spread out over the five different biomes that are present on the island: Jungle, Ice/Snow, Grass, Japanese, and Medieval. Each biome has its own unique landmarks that offer different types of loot and challenges.

What Do Landmarks Offer?

Similar to major POIs, landmarks contain loot as well. In fact, some contain as much loot as some POIs. However, unlike POIs, they contain no capture points. That being said, no Vaults are located within the vicinity of landmarks either. Nevertheless, charting a loot route from one landmark to another during the early game is never a bad idea.

Which Landmarks are the Best to Visit?

Depending on where on the island a player is, certain landmarks can provide a lot of loot. For instance, in the Grass biome, Meadow Mansion, located next to Frenzy Fields, contains a lot of loot in the form of chests and ammo boxes, among other things. Coastal Battlement in the Medieval biome is another such example.

Other amazing landmarks include places such as Crude Harbor, Aegis Temple, Crusty Crates, The Hall Of Whispers, Restful Retreat, and Lotus Lookout. As mentioned, while they do not contain as much loot as POIs, they can provide a decent amount of items to replenish the stockpile.
