What are Hot Spots in Fortnite?

Hot Spots are unique named locations that are chosen at random at the start of each Fortnite match in Battle Royale. If you visit one of these special POIs, there will be flying Loot Drones that carry high-rarity weapons inside of them.

You can shoot these flying drones out of the sky and stock up on some powerful weapons and healing items when they hit the ground, which will give you a head-start against the competition. Typically there is between 12 – 16 Loot Drones found at each Hot Spot POI location.
