Where to Land in Plunderstorm - Best Drop Spots Tier List

Are you ready to dominate the battlefield in Plunderstorm? Choosing the right drop location can give you a massive advantage over your opponents. In this tier list, we'll break down the best spots to land and loot up, so you can start each match with a bang. Get ready for some high-stakes action!

S Tier: drop here if you can!

These locations offer the perfect balance of loot, mob density, and strategic positioning. If you want to maximize your chances of victory, these are the places to be. Drop here and get ready to wreak havoc!

Hammerfall

Hammerfall is an S-tier drop for a reason. Its split-level layout is perfect for ambushes, and the abundant loot means you'll be geared up in no time. The central position makes it easy to rotate to other key locations, but watch out for early-game competition – this spot is always hot!

Circle of East Binding

Don't let its unmarked status fool you — the Circle of East Binding is a hidden gem that packs a serious punch. With four elite mobs clustered together and plenty of chests nearby, you can power up quickly and be ready to dominate. Just be careful not to get caught off guard by other players looking to score some easy kills.


A Tier: a great foundation for your match

While not quite as perfect as the S-tier locations, these spots still offer plenty of value for savvy players. Drop here if you want a strong start without the intense competition. With a little skill and strategy, you can easily come out on top!

Go'shek Farm

Go'shek Farm is a popular choice for its central location and plentiful loot. The open layout is great for long-range abilities, but be ready for some close-quarters brawls if things get heated. Keep an eye out for enemy players trying to sneak up on you!

Stromgarde Keep

Stromgarde Keep is a massive location with tons of elites and chests. Its size and complex layout make it a great spot for duos looking to split up and gear up quickly. Just be careful not to get lost in the winding corridors – it's easy to lose track of your teammate if you're not careful.

Circle of Elements

The Circle of Elements offers a great balance of loot and strategic potential. Its central position allows for flexible rotations, making it perfect for adaptable players. With plenty of cover and high ground, you can easily outmaneuver your opponents and come out on top.


B Tier: sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe...

These locations may not be the flashiest, but they can still provide a solid foundation for your match. Consider dropping here if you want a more laid-back early game. With a bit of luck and some smart plays, you can easily turn these spots into a winning strategy.

Ar'gorok Mine

The Ar'gorok Mine may not have the best loot, but its overlooked status means less competition. Clear out the elites, grab some chests, and you'll be well on your way to victory. Just be careful not to get cornered in the narrow tunnels – it's easy to get trapped if you're not paying attention.

Dabyrie's Farmstead

Dabyrie's Farmstead offers good mob density and some high-value chests, but its remote location can make mid-game rotations risky. If you're confident in your ability to survive the journey to the safe zone, this spot can pay off big time. Just be ready for a long trek if things don't go your way.

Southern River

The Southern River is an underrated spot with some surprisingly good loot. The elite mobs and high-value chests can give you a strong early-game power spike, but the lack of cover leaves you vulnerable to ambushes. If you're quick on your feet and good at spotting danger, this spot can be a real game-changer.


C Tier: avoid if you can

These locations have some potential, but they come with significant drawbacks. Only drop here if you have a specific strategy in mind or if you're feeling confident in your abilities. With a bit of luck and a lot of skill, you might just be able to turn these spots into a winning play.

Horde Outpost

The Horde Outpost offers decent loot and a central location, but its lackluster mob density and exposed layout can leave you struggling in the early game. If you're ready to rotate quickly and take fights on the move, this spot might work out. Just don't expect an easy ride.

West Lumber Mill

The West Lumber Mill has some solid mob density and a few good chests, but it lacks the high-tier loot of other locations. It can be a decent choice for players looking to avoid early-game fights, but be ready for a slower start. You might have to get creative to catch up to better-equipped opponents.

Alliance Camp

The Alliance Camp is a subpar drop location with mediocre loot and limited strategic value. Its isolated position can make it hard to rotate effectively, so only come here if you're prepared for a challenging mid-game. You'll need to be at the top of your game to make this spot work.


D Tier: not recommended

These locations are best avoided unless you have no other choice. They offer little in the way of loot or strategic value, and can leave you struggling to catch up all game. If you find yourself stuck here, you'll need to think fast and move faster to have any chance of coming out on top.

Newstead

Newstead may be isolated, but that's about all it has going for it. The loot here is severely lacking, and the long rotations can leave you vulnerable to better-equipped players. Unless you're a master of the ambush, it's best to avoid this spot altogether.

Witherbark Village

Witherbark Village is a frustrating drop location with scattered loot and annoying mobs. The lack of clear rotation paths makes it hard to plan for the mid-game, so steer clear unless you're out of options. Even then, you'll need to be ready for a rough ride if you want to make it to the end.


Dropping into the right location can give you a huge advantage in Plunderstorm. By prioritizing spots with good loot, mob density, and strategic potential, you'll be well on your way to victory.

Remember, this tier list is just a starting point — the key to success is adapting to each match and making smart decisions on the fly. Whether you're dropping into Hammerfall or Circle of East Binding, stay focused, stay alert, and most importantly, have fun! With a little practice and a lot of skill, you'll be dominating the battlefield in no time.
