Everyone knows how to drop, but you can use tips to ensure you have the best drop in the game. We have prepared a guide to help you be the first player on the ground.

How to land first in Fortnite

These are the best tips to land first in Fortnite:

• Select an area near your preferred drop spot. It has to be close, avoiding being too far away from your flight path.
  • Preferably between 150 to 300 meters.
• The glider will open automatically before you hit the ground.
  • Ensure that the glider will open as close to the ground as possible.
• After you jump from the bus, dive straight down to go faster.
  • Make sure you look at the map to see the speed of your diving.
• You will need to avoid any hills, mounds, mountains, or elevated terrain.
• Look for the lowest altitude location and go to it.
  • Having water near your drop spot will make it easier, as water is at the lowest altitude in the game.
• If you want to land on tall buildings you will have to jump sooner.
  • Make sure you get the timing and angle right.
  • Deploying the glider sooner can get you further.
