Almost every vehicle in Fortnite Battle Royale is capable of drifting. However, no one does it better than the Nitro Drifter as this car has a great handbrake that makes it much easier to drift.

Many players must have had first used the vehicle while completing a challenge that requires them to destroy objects with it. It can be easily completed and Epic Games released it to help players familiarize themselves with the new car.

Besides its amazing drifting capabilities, the Nitro Drift has four seats, making it a great choice for every game mode.

The image above shows all the possible locations for the new Fortnite vehicle. For some reason, Epic Games decided to add the most spawn points to the new biome that's found around Mega City.

Here are all the possible areas that the car will appear in:

  • Shore Shack
  • Meadow Mansion
  • Hitches and Ditches
  • On the road by Frenzy Fields
  • Whispering Waters
  • Wildwind Sanctuary
  • Neon Bay Bridge
  • Mega City
  • Fallow Fuel
  • Slappy Shores
  • Slap 'N Go
  • Drift Ridge
  • Steamy Springs

Mega City has six possible spawn locations for the new Fortnite car. Steamy Springs and Slappy Shores are the only two other spots that will also host the vehicle, while every other area is a landmark.

It's also important to note that these are possible spawn locations for a Nitro Drifter. The chances of this vehicle appearing in Fortnite are not 100%, meaning that it won't always be present in these places.

Considering that the Nitro Drift cannot currently be found in a snow or fall biome, Epic Games may change its spawn locations in the future and add more of them to the northern and western part of it. At the moment, its northernmost spawn point is Slappy Shores.
