Named Locations (Battle Royale)

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. Examples are:

• Greasy Grove
• Coney Crossroads
• Frenzy Farm

However, some locations do not follow this ruleset for various reasons:

• Many faction specific locations, such as The Authority, or The Joneses do not use alliteration. On demotion, some of these have gained alliterative status, such as The Grotto becoming Brutus' Basin.
• 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 cannot be alliterative.
• Some locations cannot be confirmed as to why they do not use alliteration, such as The Pyramid or The Spire.
  • This may be as the area is of great importance, as there has never been an alliterative location over the center of the Apollo Map.

Current Named Locations

Currently, there are 16 named locations on the map in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
