Named Locations in Fortnite can best be described as major Landmarks or POIs. They are found in strategic areas across the island, each having its own aesthetic and individual design and/or theme. While it largely depends on the overarching theme that is in play, they can have their independent identity. This is because some Named Locations serve roles other than just being designated areas on the map.
Some Named Locations in Chapter 6 Season 1 are home to NPCs and Bosses alike. You can interact with friendly NPCs to purchase items/weapons/services or take on hostile Bosses to claim rewards and fortune. Aside from these aspects, Named Locations are also good places to obtain loot in bulk.
While you can get loot from Landmarks in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, Named Locations have a lot more to offer. Most players jump from the Battle Bus and head to a Named Location at the start of the game. This is also because they are highlighted and marked on the mini-map as well as the map located in the main menu. This makes planning ahead a tad easier while playing Ranked or with a full Squad.

What are the best Named Locations in Fortnite to visit in Chapter 6 Season 1
While all Named Locations have something unique to offer, those that are home to NPCs in Chapter 6 Season 1 are the ones you should visit first. POIs like Nightshift Forest, Canyon Crossing, and Masked Meadows are good options. You will be able to interact with them to purchase items/weapons to get the upper hand in combat. Some NPCs can be hired, making them part of your party to help out in sticky situations.
As an additional bonus, you'll get XP for discovering Named Locations for the first time and the fog of war from the mini-map will be removed as well. That said, Named Locations tend to become hot spots in certain matches. Take care while exploring them. Move from cover to cover to avoid being spotted and/or sniped.
If you're looking for a challenge, you can go to Demon's Dojo to fight the Boss located there. There are other Bosses in Chapter 6 Season 1 that you can take on as well. Most are located in Named Locations, which again is why they are important places to explore. If you need help navigating the island, you can use our interactive map to help find exactly what you're looking for.
