While your choice of location is important, it’s possibly even more crucial that you reach your location before everyone else does.
There is no specific way to speed up your descent, all players are able to drop into the map at the same speed as buying different gliders and character outfits doesn’t affect how quickly you drop.
However, there are some useful tips that can help you plan ahead and ensure your one of the first to reach your preferred location.
How to land faster in Fortnite
Players looking to hit the floor quicker should avoid the higher parts of land while they are floating down as once they are a certain distance from the ground the glider will automatically deploy.
One way you can do this is by laving the bus near the edge of the map and start dropping over the sea that surrounds the island, this can delay your glider from opening and you can then move towards land once you are closer to the ground.
If your preferred location is more in-land then one way that you can ensure you get their quickly is to drop before the bus reaches it so that you have time to make your descent before you get there.
Then make sure that you aim for lower ground close to where you want to land as this will delay your glider slightly, then once you glider does deploy you can move towards your preferred location.
The way you navigate you glider won’t affect how quickly it drops, so the most important aspects of landing quickly is your movement and position on the map while you are dropping.
