Current Map
Named Locations are the largest types of locations in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They are named on the map, often using alliteration as their naming convention. However, this is not always the case. Named Locations were introduced on launch of the game, in the Pre-Season.
They are quite large in size - often resembling towns and cities, and because of this, many Chests and Ammo Boxes can be found in these locations.
Naming[]
Named Locations often follow an alliterative ruleset, meaning the location is two words, each of which start with the same letter, the first word being usually an adjective. Examples are:
However over the seasons and chapters, more and more POIs have stopped following this ruleset for various reasons:
- Many faction specific locations, such as The Citadel, or The Joneses do not use alliteration. On demotion, some of these have gained alliterative status, such as The Rig becoming Rickety Rig.
- Collaboration Locations often do not use alliteration, such as The Daily Bugle or Gotham City.
- This is not always the case, as Doom's Domain was alliterative, despite being collaboration based.
- Some locations are single words, such as Sanctuary and so can't be alliterative.
- Some locations cannot be confirmed as to why they do not use alliteration, such as The Pyramid or The Spire.
- Some locations do not follow any Naming Theme, such as Moisty Palms, Chromejam Junction, Reality Falls, Chonker's Speedway, Anvil Square, & Knotty Nets.
