DexertoFortnite Chapter 7 has turned landing spots into small personality tests. You either drop in for guaranteed power, or you drop in for chaos control and hope the island shows you mercy.
The new map is stacked with secrets, miniboss routines, and hidden orange doors that make you feel like you’ve wandered into someone else’s lab notes. But these five drops actually give you a real edge from the first minute, and they don’t waste your time.
Best drop spots in Chapter 7 Season 1
Classified Canyon
Classified Canyon is the easy number one. It’s the closest thing this season has to a free win, as long as you know the route.
You slip into the underground hall, hit the big red button next to the orange door, and inside is the real reason everyone aims for this spot: the legendary Arc Lightning Gun.
There are two extra chests sit tucked away in the corners, plus green goo to gain temporary invisibility. And if the lobby gets too loud, you can tap the computers, open the hatch, and fling yourself straight into a clean rotation.
Ripped Tides
Ripped Tides is pure commitment: You land on the beach, hit the gym, and start lifting the barbell like you’re doing a punishment workout. It takes ages, and you’re a sitting duck, but the reward is ridiculous.
The Pinpoint Iron Pump Shotgun is exclusive to this challenge and can’t be looted from bosses. It’s your gun, and yours alone, for no reason other than you were stubborn enough to finish the rep. If you want early dominance with zero competition for your mythic, this is your place.

Humble Hills
Humble Hills is the opposite: there’s no shiny secret waiting for you here, no instant spectacle, no trick.
What it gives you instead is consistency: Bosses rotate through this POI constantly, and they’re rarely difficult. By the second or third wave, you usually walk out with a mythic, a revive kit, and a transformation kit without having touched a vault.
Wonkeeland
Wonkeeland depends on whether you trust yourself under pressure. Everything here revolves around the theme park minigames. If you finish them with solid results, you get legendary loot. If someone interrupts you, you’re done.
The one where you shoot masks in under twenty seconds is the big prize, but you need speed and space.
Springfield Squidport
Innoloop Labs has the same hidden secret as Classified Canyon, plus a mid-game boss lurking downstairs. On paper, it should be top three.
The problem is landing here. With no Battle Bus and everyone surfing in from odd angles, this place is almost always out of reach. You’ll glide, drive, improvise, and lose seconds every time. If you get there, you get legendary gear, invisibility, and a clean escape.
