In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there are many locations scattered across the map, but where do most players actually die in Season 5? A map shows where the risk of elimination is highest.
What kind of map is this? The data miner Lucas7yoshi, who usually leaks upcoming items and skins, has collected data on where most players have died.
For this analysis, he is said to have tracked approximately 50,000 eliminations. Moreover, the map refers to all deaths that occurred in Season 5 – Chapter 2. With the start of the season, there were also 4 new locations on the map.
Here you see the map created by Lucas7yoshi and posted on Twitter:
These are the 3 deadliest locations
Where are most players supposed to have died? Looking at the map, one quickly recognizes that especially at named locations, a lot of action takes place. But 3 places have clearly won when it comes to the most eliminations:
- Rank 1: Salty Towers
- Rank 2: Lazy Lake
- Rank 3: Pleasant Park
Whether it’s because so many players land there or encounter each other during the match – those who don’t want to die immediately should perhaps avoid these 3 locations.
Why are so many dying there? For many players to be eliminated there in the first place, many also have to land there. These 3 locations seem particularly popular because they are more central and you can grab a lot of loot there. These advantages likely attract many players.
In 4th place is Stealthy Stronghold, which is probably also due to the fact that in recent weeks most have tried to defeat the Predator there. With so many opponents encountering and eliminating each other, the number seems to have risen sharply.
How about the other locations? There are some locations that also show a higher number of eliminations. But what about the places that don’t light up at all? Are there really no eliminations there?
Lucas7yoshi showed images of Salty Towers and Steamy Stacks, where you can see how many kills were achieved in each location:
Looking at both images, you can see that Steamy Stacks does have some eliminations, but compared to Salty Towers, you can see why it doesn’t light up on the map.
If you prefer to have a lot of action in your rounds, you should land at these locations – either you’ll move on with many kills or the round can be over quickly.
Maybe one or the other of you will rethink your best landing spots on the Season 5 map.
