There are nine major drop locations (POIs) on the Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 map. Although it's a tad smaller than its predecessor, there's a lot to see and do in-game. Some landing locations are better than others and based on the data, they rank differently in terms of "sweatiness."

In some POIs, 20 players land in every match, while others barely witness any early-game squabbles. That said, here are all the POIs on the island ranked from the most sweaty to the least.

Only 10.5% of players land at Faulty Splits in any given match, and despite this, the POI is one of the most contested during the early game. Opponents get locked in combat for a few minutes thanks to the cliffs that flank the area.

As most players would already know by now, Slappy Shores is one of the most relaxing POIs to land during the early-game. While running into opponents is all but guaranteed, players can use the confusing layout of the factory to either lose them or ambush and eliminate them. That being said, only 8.3% land here in every match.

Highlights of Slappy Shores:

  • Max-out shields and sprint by consuming and/or destroying Slap Juice/Barrels
  • Neymar Jr. NPC (Sells Slap Juice and Patch up service)

8) Brutal Bastion:

Out of the 7.7% of players that land here at the start of every game, barely one or two make it out alive.

Highlights of Brutal Bastion:
