NPCs are interactive characters you can find across the Fortnite map, letting you purchase weapons and items or even challenging you to a duel to earn XP and rewards.

There are plenty of characters to encounter in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, but considering how big the new map is, you may struggle to simply stumble across them - so here's where you can find them all.

All character locations in Fortnite

Here are all of the NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 and details of where they're located on the map:

Character	Where to find them	What they look like
1. Artemis	At the entrance gates to Lavish Lair
2. Meowscles	At the Lil' Villa landmark, just east of Fencing Fields
3. Myna	In the forest east of Rebel's Roost
4. Laguna	At the Rescue Station landmark, northwest of Grand Glacier
5. Bravo Leader	At the centre of Snooty Steppes
6. Poseidon	Inside the train station at Reckless Railways
7. Medusa	At the northeastern side of Fencing Fields
8. Aphrodite	At the Lovely Lodge landmark, directly south of Fencing Fields
9. Spartan Assassin	Inside the giant warehouse at the Slumberyard landmark, east of Classy Courts
10. Hope	Hanging out inside Grand Glacier
11. Khari	At the Pantheon Path landmark west of Mount Olympus
12. Clara	Walking around the Coastal Columns landmark west of Pleasant Piazza
13. Jittershock	At the Reclaimed Villa landmark northwest of Snooty Steppes
14. Etheria	Outside the building just north of Restored Reels
15. Charon	At the Cloistered Castle landmark northeast of Lavish Lair
16. Noorah	Near the lake southeast of Restored Reels
17. Peely	Camping just south of Restored Reels
18. Apollo	Walking around the Summit Temple landmark northeast of Mount Olympus
19. Graveheart	At the Cemetary landmark north of Reckless Railways
20. Anwar	At the Dumpenhausen landmark south of Reckless Railways
21. Lavendra	On the eastern tennis court at Classy Courts
22. Spirit Hunter Saeko	Inside the house at Rebel's Roost
23. Dummy	Walking around the Piney Pumps gas station west of Lavish Lair

There are now 23 friendly characters on the map, with Anwar, Lavendra, Spirit Hunter Saeko, and Dummy being the latest additions. These replaced the NPCs from the Avatar: The Last Airbender crossover event.

As part of the current Star Wars event, you can also encounter Darth Vader and Storm Troopers around the map, although these are hostile NPCs who will attack you on sight - so be careful around them!

If previous seasons are anything to go by, more characters will likely be added as Chapter 5 Season 2 progresses, and I'll update this page once that happens.

What do NPCs do?

Talking to NPCs in Fortnite will fill out your character list - which is great if you're a completionist - but you can also purchase high-tier weapons or healing items from them as long as you have enough Gold Bars.

Some NPCs offer special services like giving you a prop disguise to hide in or activating a rift to send you into the sky so you can glide across the map. A few characters, like Artemis, can also be hired as bodyguards for the remainder of the match.

All bosses in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

Aside from the friendly NPCs listed above, there are also four boss characters you can encounter in Fortnite right now: Hades at The Underworld, Cerberus at Grim Gate, Zeus at Mount Olympus, and Ares at Brawler's Battleground.

Unlike previous boss fights in Fortnite, you'll need to summon these characters by interacting with glowing statues that represent them. These can be found on podiums at their base locations like in the screenshot below.

When summoned, each boss will send out a wave of enemies that need to be eliminated before they'll appear themselves. Make sure you come prepared with a loadout of decent weapons, healing items, and maxed-out shield where possible.

It's worth the effort, as defeating them will reward you with a powerful Mythic weapon and a Medallion that grants a unique power. For example, Ares' Medallion will add damage to ranged weapons while Cerberus' Medallion lets you dash in the air.

Just remember that holding a Medallion will also give away your location to other players, so it's no good carrying one if you're trying to be stealthy!

During the Star Wars crossover event from May 3 to May 14, 2024, you can also battle Darth Vader on the island at the northernmost point of the map. Defeating him will reward you with his Lightsaber weapon.
