8 Best Landing Spots In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Picking the best landing spot on the island can often mean the difference between defeat and a Victory Royale. Starting in the right location allows players to gather the loot they need to succeed and to potentially gain powerful advantages over their opponents.
