Want to know where the Fortnite NPCs are? In addition to the other players shooting at each other, there are non-playable characters scattered throughout the island. They aren’t as vital for completing challenges as in previous seasons. However, they still offer items that you can buy with Fortnite gold bars, or you can hire them to assist you in the match to get that sweet taste of victory and perhaps even a Fortnite victory crown.
Finding these NPCs can come in handy, particularly if you’re stuck finding items for some of the season challenges. If, for example, you need a specific weapon you can always visit an NPC who sells that it, instead of hunting around
With each update, these NPCs are at risk of moving around, so you may find that a character you need is no longer where you left them. Others will appear in different locations in every match. We have every Fortnite NPC location marked on a map to help you find them, as well as a list of all of the special items you can buy.
