What are Landmarks in Fortnite? Explained

The best way to describe Landmarks in Fortnite is to consider them as minor points of interest. Unlike the major 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 5 Season 1, there are over 30 Landmarks. They are spread out over the different biomes that are present on the island.

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, a few Vaults are located within the vicinity of Landmarks. That said, charting a loot route from one Landmark to another during the early game is never a bad idea.

Depending on where on the island you can, certain Landmarks can provide a lot of loot. For instance, in the Grass/Hill Biome, The Marigold, Unmoored Manor, Ship It! Station, and Grand Station are probably the best places to land. There is a lot of loot, and if you are lucky, you can hop aboard the Train as well.

Other amazing Landmarks in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1's include those located in the Ice/Snow Biomes. Places such as Research Rock, Stormy Station, and Forest Station are good for landing during the early-game. Although they do not contain as much loot as Named Locations, they do serve their purpose well.
