If you've ever died off-spawn because someone landed faster than you, you know why we built Dropmap. With the new Fortnite season launching on May 2nd, 2025, we're rolling out our biggest update yet to help you land first, every time.
Below are the highlights of the new features and improvements coming to Dropmap:
Create Custom Dropmaps
No more being limited to preset landing spots. With custom Dropmaps, you can now drop literally anywhere on the island. Just place your target on the map, enter the bus route, and instantly get the perfect landing path.
This is perfect for players who don't want to wait for a Dropmap to be created, or anyone who's found that secret landing spot that no one else knows about. You can even adjust the height of your drop to make sure you land exactly where you want.
New Pricing
We're ditching our old system where you had to pay for each individual map. That added up fast, especially if you wanted to drop in multiple spots.
Instead, we're moving to all-access subscription plans that give you unlimited Dropmaps everywhere. No more buying maps one at a time and praying you picked the right spots.
Basic Plan - $5.99/month
Perfect for solo and casual players:
- Create custom Dropmaps anywhere
- Get single route calculations
- Designed for solo players (no party support)
Pro Plan - $11.99/month
Designed for serious players and small squads:
- Access to 100+ Premium Dropmaps (including drops with multiple targets)
- Get 3 different route options for each drop
- Support for up to 3 party members
Pro+ Plan - $17.99/month
For competitive players and large squads:
- Monthly custom Dropmap created by our pro team (tailored to you)
- Get 5 route options for each drop
- Support for up to 5 party members
- Priority support when you need it
Manual Dropmaps - $8.99/location
- Manual Dropmaps are now available from just
$9.99$8.99 per location
Think about it - just one calculator map under the old system cost more than the Pro plan for an entire month. Now you get access to every location on the map instead of being stuck with just a couple spots.
Party System
Tired of sending your drop in Discord while trying to time your jump? The new party system makes squad drops dead simple:
- Create a party (takes 2 seconds)
- Share the invite link with your teammates
- You pick the Dropmap and enter the bus route
- The calculation appears on everyone's screen simultaneously
Now your entire squad sees the exact same drop route, making your drops way more consistent.
Improved Calculations
We've completely rebuilt our calculation engine from the ground up. While our system has always analyzed terrain between you and your target, automatically adjusting for mountains, buildings, and other obstacles, we've now taken it to the next level.
Ever tried to glide over a mountain only to realize too late that you're not going to make it? Our algorithm continues to detect these situations before you jump. And now on Pro and Pro+ plans, we'll show you exactly what path to take around obstacles, eliminating those frustrating moments.
This sophisticated pathfinding factors in every terrain feature along your route. The result? No more guessing whether you'll clear that mountain - we've already done the math.
Route Selector
Sometimes there's more than one way to reach your target. The new route selector shows up to 5 different paths for each drop, letting you choose based on the situation.
Want the fastest route? Need a path that avoids mountains? Looking for a marker that's easier to hit? The route selector shows you multiple options so you can pick the one that works best for you.
Additional Login Options
We know not everyone wants to login with Discord. That's why we've added two new login methods:
- Google: One click if you're already signed in
- Email: No password to remember, just enter the code from your email
Your existing Discord login still works exactly the same, but now you have more options to choose from.
Additional Payment Methods
In addition to our existing payment options, we're excited to announce support for two new payment methods:
- iDEAL: Perfect for our Dutch players who want a quick and easy way to pay directly from their bank account
- Link: The simple, secure way to pay with just a few clicks
These new payment options work seamlessly with all our subscription plans, making it easier than ever to get your perfect drop, no matter where you are or how you prefer to pay.
Conclusion
The update goes live with the new season on May 2nd. We can't wait to see how you use the new features to improve your drops. Whether you're a casual or pro player, Dropmap is here to help you land first, every time.
If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out to us on Discord or Twitter. We're always looking for ways to improve and make Dropmap even better for you.
