Islands[]

There have been 7 unique Battle Royale islands. Each of these has lasted for a chapter of Fortnite. Chapters 1 and 2 lasted about 2 years, Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 each lasted 1 year, and Chapter 6 MS 2 is still ongoing and will last for a month. These islands are internally named after Greek gods (Except Chapter 6 and Chapter 6 MS 2), with the first four starting with 'A'. The islands change with each chapter, however Chapters 4, 5, and 6 are all chapters to have an island change during the chapter itself instead of after its conclusion.

Here is a showcase of these islands in their most recent state:

Named Locations[]

Named Locations are the largest types of locations, and usually considered the best due to their plentiful loot. As stated in their name, these locations have names - that are often alliterative (two words in which the starting letter in each word is the same, such as Retail Row) - which are also seen labelled on the map.
They are quite large in size - often resembling towns and cities, and because of this, many Chests can be found in these locations to give good loot.

Landmarks[]

Landmarks are smaller versions of named locations that still have names, but are not labelled on the map. Their names are only seen on the screen when entering the area. Like named locations, most Landmarks have alliterative names.
They still have moderately good perks, and are the most common type of location.

Unnamed Locations[]

Unnamed Locations are locations, similar to Landmarks but without official names. Due to this, the community often grant these locations names - like Yonder Yard and Factories. In addition, their name could have been as simple as Volcano.
As Landmarks were only added in Chapter 2, they are considered as the replacement for Unnamed Locations. However, some notable locations without names have still existed in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
