A surprising number of people mention BURD, the huge gas station and convenience store located south of Nightshift Forest. It seems like this is a popular spot due to a combination of things, according to players. It has a cute name, enough chests to get a full starting loadout, and a choice of vehicles to make a quick exit on. It isn’t the most popular spot, so there is less sweat and more time for gathering loot and shielding up compared to somewhere like Flooded Frogs.<\/p>
The outskirts of the island is a solid choice for people like one Reddit user who likes to land “away from other people, so I don’t get deleted super early.” Shogun’s Solitude is often mentioned as a quiet spot where nothing much happens, and is a great spot for a chill start. Shining Span is another location that’s often overlooked, as it doesn’t look like it offers much in the way of loot. A few players insist, however, that it is a secretly hot spot for cover, loot, and a quick exit with vehicles placed on either side of the bridge. And, of course, it has the grind rails running from one end to the other which are a lot of fun.<\/p>
