Players will find that these whirlpools can be found in the water across the Chapter 2 Season 3 map. They are marked by a swirling white circle in the water, which is hard to miss if you are looking at one when playing. Individuals who jump into a whirlpool will be shot into the air and able to travel through the air by gliding. Finding and using a whirlpool is an excellent strategy that players can use to reposition themselves to a new area on the map or get away from the storm in a moment’s notice.

The locations of a whirlpool will change every match. Still, they will remain in the same points of interest, which means the changing of locations for whirlpools is not extremely drastic, with players able to learn where they are likely to spawn very quickly.
