The best drop spots in Fortnite: Galactic Battle

Fortnite's latest season is all about Star Wars, and it's a refreshing overhaul from many perspectives. The loot pool is relatively balanced, reloading is no longer an issue, and the atmosphere feels different.

While the map didn't completely change, a few locations in Chapter 6 Season 3, known as Chapter 6 Mini-Season 1, are far and far better than most. Today, we will provide five of the best drop spots to land in Fortnite: Galactic Battle to help give you the best chance to earn a Victory Royale.

The new First Order Base point of interest (POI) is unquestionably atop the list of best drop spots in the Fortnite Star Wars season. Beyond its incredible aesthetic, this Demon's Dojo replacement possesses everything you could want from a Fortnite POI.

According to Fortnite.GG, the First Order Base contains an impressive 59 possible Chest spawns in the immediate area. You can also find another 34 Chests just south of the location, meaning a serviceable loadout is all but guaranteed when landing here.

Additionally, the Captain Phasma boss character spawns here, who drops Captain Phasma's Mythic F-11D Blaster and a Medallion, which extends all of your weapon's "overheat" periods with blasters and reduces their cooldown. Add in the TIE fighter spawn; this POI has everything you desire.

Seaport City is a returning drop spot from Season 2, and it remains atop the list of best places to land. You can expect upwards of 71 Chests here, making it one of the few POIs to rival First Order Base. If you landed here in the previous season, not much has changed apart from Epic removing the Vault.

Even without the Vault, it remains strong with the abundance of Fishing Spots available close by in case you need Floppers, Shield Fish, or other items obtainable by fishing. To cap it all off, unlike First Order Base, Seaport City is closer to the middle of the map, meaning rotation to the Storm Circle is less of a hassle.

Joining the Star Wars-themed First Order Base is the rival Resistance Base, located on the opposite corner of the map. In addition to the incredible theming, Resistance Base, which replaced Whiffy Wharf, is another standout drop spot in Fortnite: Galactic Battle.

You can expect to find at least 36 Chests close to the center of this drop spot, but the surrounding area is even more generous. Another 13 may spawn north of the Resistance Base, and many more will spawn east and south.

Loot potential is always the first aspect to evaluate when determining a solid drop spot. Resistance Base fits the bill, and the X-wing spawn and presence of the Millennium Falcon are just the cherry on top.

It's no surprise that three Star Wars-based POIs appeared on this list since Epic Games juiced these locations better than any other on the map. Outpost Enclave is the third and final Star Wars spot we'll cover. Besides the First Order Base, Outpost Enclave might be the best-themed POI.

This drop spot is massive, and the immediate and surrounding area contains upwards of 82 Chest spawns. Additionally, the iconic Jawa-piloted Sand Crawler vehicle on the north side is a solid spot to land and take shots at enemy players.

Outpost Enclave also possesses an X-wing spawn and several Launch Pads to make rotating a non-issue. If you're a fan of Tatooine, this is a drop spot you won't want to ignore—it's easily one of our favorites.

That covers our picks for the best drop spots in the new Fortnite: Galactic Battle season. It's worth noting that these could change, especially since a new update will drop every week during this abbreviated season.
