How to Use a Drop Map in Fortnite
1. Open the map before the match
Before starting a match, open the drop map on your phone or second monitor. You’ll use it during the early seconds of the game.
2. Identify the Battle Bus path
When the game begins, check the bus path and find the deploy pin that is closest to your intended landing spot.
3. Place your in-game marker
Use the map to place your in-game marker exactly where the chosen deploy pin is located.
4. Jump at the right time
As the bus approaches the deploy pin, jump out and prepare to glide toward the spot.
5. Use the glide bar
Watch the glide bar on the right side of the screen to perfectly time your glider deployment over the pin.
6. Aim and land
Glide toward your drop spot with your crosshair locked on. Land on the intended loot or chest spawn to gain early advantage.
7. Maximize efficiency
Keep your aim and glide consistent every game to build muscle memory and control early-game fights.
