As you can see, there are only seven locations on the map where players can find a helicopter in Fortnite. Players can expect to see a massive surge in the popularity of these regions, with special mention for The Authority as it hosts another challenge as well.

The helipad on the Deadpool ship in the north and the one east of Frenzy Farm will also likely have more players than those areas can support simply because they are closest to the challenge location, Steamy Stacks. The other four helicopter locations are all in the south, making them slightly less desirable to players, which may make them easier targets for anyone looking to complete their challenge.

Let’s do some quick math together. In a normal game of Fortnite there are 100 players who drop into the map. Under the best possible conditions, there can only be 7 helicopters, and if any get destroyed then there will be less. All this means that under the best circumstances, at least 93 players in a game will not get a helicopter to fly over to Steamy Stacks. Therefore, it helps to have a backup plan.

One strategy players should consider is landing at Steamy Stacks, looting up, and waiting for someone else to bring a helicopter to that location. Because the challenge requires that players land the helicopter at Steamy Stacks, players can wait to ambush anyone who attempts to lower their vehicle to the ground. Once in range, fire upon the pilot and take the helicopter for yourself in order to quickly land and complete the challenge.
