There are some dreadful places that you shouldn\u2019t even be tempted to visit. Overall, Epic Games have been lauded for finally giving fans what they want and delivering a brand new map for its first season of Chapter 2, freshening up the popular battle royale game mode. However, while that might sound all well and good, just like any map there are parts that you don\u2019t really want to be starting matches, even if they look cool at first glance. Whether you prefer to land at named points of interest or unnamed areas of the map, the last thing you want is to start your game at somewhere that\u2019s going to put you at a disadvantage. So, while we would never go as far as saying it\u2019s impossible to pick up wins here \u2013 as that would be a pretty ludicrous thing to say \u2013 let\u2019s take a look at all of the places that we have ranked as the worst on the new landscape and see if you agree. Lockie\u2019s Lighthouse This might be one of the places that you still haven\u2019t checked off your map just yet, as Epic started the season by concealing everything, and in all honesty, it should stay that way. Don\u2019t even bother. Unless you want to explore one or two small houses and then go running around in circles until you get to the top of a lighthouse, only to find yourself miles away from the circle\u2026 Be our guest and visit Lockie\u2019s Lighthouse. There\u2019s not much going on here, that\u2019s for sure. Nice view, though. The place itself does look phenomenal, just not an ideal spot for when you\u2019re first dropping in. Retail Row Some fans might have expected \u2013 even wanted \u2013 some remnants of the older map to stick around for Chapter 2, but let\u2019s face it, Retail Row is a stale spot. One thing that it can\u2019t be denied is the amount of loot that you can find. This point of interest certainly has a number of chests spawning there, but there are so many other fresh places to explore that this one looks very much redundant at this point.

If everybody is thinking it\u2019s redundant, you could have a clear shot at all of the loot here. Just something to bear in mind. Generally though, we would avoid. Homely Hills Homely Hills looks like a quaint little village in the hillside, but it\u2019s not exactly the place you would want to start a match, for a number of reasons. Just like the Lighthouse \u2013 which isn\u2019t too far away from it, by the way \u2013 Homely Hills is easy on the eye. It\u2019s something different, spread across a nice spot of land, but the buildings are quite far apart and not always the best in terms of the loot you will find there. There\u2019s not a lot. Weeping Woods Solely from a chest count perspective, Weeping Woods is a bad option in comparison to the other named locations. That doesn\u2019t mean to say that there\u2019s nothing good about this landing spot, clearly there is. There are a number of huge trees that make it an ideal area for building up your material totals, mushrooms all over the place for shield, but only 11 chests to dig your way through. Now, while that might actually sound like a lot, it\u2019s not when compared with other POIs. Check out the full list below, via Twitter user Crash7_. Fortnite Chapter 2 POI chest counts Frenzy Farm \u2013 21 chests &#8211; Holly Hedges \u2013 14 chests &#8211; Craggy Cliffs \u2013 19 chests &#8211; Misty Meadows \u2013 25 chests &#8211; Dirty Docks \u2013 31 chests &#8211; Lazy Lake \u2013 28 chests &#8211; Slurpy Swamp \u2013 18 chests &#8211; Weeping Woods \u2013 11 chests &#8211; Sweaty Sands \u2013 34 chests &#8211; Steamy Stacks \u2013 23 chests &#8211; Sweaty Sands Now, this might look like an unusual one to end things on, especially given that we\u2019ve just shown you that Sweaty Sands is the capital of loot in Chapter 2, Season 1\u2026 But, we have our reasons. There might well be a grand total of 34 chests waiting to be opened at this point of interest, but the only interest you need to be worried about is your survival and that\u2019s going to be made \u2013 almost by default \u2013 more difficult to achieve by landing here. In some games, almost half of the lobby can be seen to angle their gliders towards this location, recreating a similar experience to that of Tilted Towers in previous seasons. That doesn\u2019t mean to say that you can\u2019t be successful when landing here, yet it\u2019s definitely going to be more challenging, particularly for those who are just starting out. So, there you have it! That draws a close to our worst location guide for Fortnite Chapter 2 and it wasn\u2019t easy to put together, because of the positivity surrounding vast areas of the new battle royale setting.
