In this article, the reader will be updated on the new location of the Fortnite NPCs, along with what items they can purchase from each character. This list can help the reader find every NPC currently on the island to complete the character collections.
With the launch of Chapter 3, Season 3 the world of Fortnite has gotten a little shaken up and chilled out for Summer Time Vibin’. The cosmetics of the island have been brightened up with fluorescent paint, the glowing Reality Tree, as well as stirring up the location of 25 NPCs–some returning from last season, along with some brand new faces.
NPCs (or Non-Player-Characters) are non-hostile characters you can interact with, buy exotic weapons and heals from, and who you can check off of your “Collections” to the right of your “map” tab. Though watch out–if you damage an NPC they will turn aggressive and try to kill you. Some you can hire and add another gun to your team.
In this article we’ll cover all NPC locations and possible inventory for purchase with gold, though not every weapon rarity may be exact and some characters may spawn randomly.

Ninth on the list of characters is another man-food, the stacked Highlander Mancake. Dripping with competition (and syrup) you can challenge Mancake to a duel.

At the Joneses, you will be able to find four of the characters on your list, but not in the same match. The NPCs in the Joneses spawn randomly and you may have to take a few matches before you collect all four.
Jonesy The First can usually be found in the main building at the Joneses walking around with his blonde hair, and a serious look.
Items:
Ludwig, dressed in his lederhosen and curly beard, can be found in the southern building of The Joneses if he spawns.

Items:
Located on the west side of the map, at a new location called Schroom Chalet you can find three characters in or around the house. Again, this is a random spawn, so you will have to visit this location multiple times to collect Metal Team Leader, Cuddlepool and Quackling.
Like Cuddle Team Leader, but a little less soft, Metal Team Leader is a shiny metal teddy bear that you probably won’t want to cuddle.
Items:
Another bear in the collection, Cuddlepool is identifiable by her black and red outfit. She is usually on the front porch of the Schroom Chalet.

Located upstairs in one of the rooms, you can’t miss Quackling’s bright yellow exterior and duck-billed mouth.

Items:
The mystery person we caught a glimpse of during the trailer can now be visited on the map. To find her, you’ll have to head south of Condo Canyon, almost to the coast, to the outpost to check her off your list.
Items:
Usually there are a few roaming NPCs that trek across the map for chance encounters when you’re traveling or running from the storm. It seems as though this season, all the NPCs are relatively stationary or tied to one geographic location.
When looking specifically for an NPC, as you approach the area where one is located, on your mini map a word bubble will pop up where the character is located. This icon on the map will help you quickly navigate to the character, hopefully before you run into an enemy player.
Keep your eyes peeled for challenges involving these characters (like Week One’s “Interact with Sunbird/Moon Hawk and The Rustler in a single match) and keep this list handy to help navigate yourself quickly to your desired character.
Though Peely saved the day by bringing a Slurp Truck to the rescue during our Chapter 3 Season 2 end-of-season event, he seems to be missing from the new map. Will he get a spot back on the Fortnite island as Season 3 continues? We will have to wait and see what the creators at Epic decided to do.
Whether you’re looking to get a specific weapon, to complete your character punch card for the “Social Butterfly” award, or just checking out the surroundings, NPCs are a great part of Fortnite that continue to evolve. With the list above you can arm yourself with the knowledge of where to go for specific items or characters.
