One of the great additions of the Chapter 2, Season 5 update of Fortnite is the NPCs scattered all over the map. These NPCs will give you missions and bounties so that you can earn Gold Bars while participating in the battle royale. Gold Bars can be exchanged for rare items and resources. It is a good idea to stock them up. This guide will show you all the NPC locations, along with the effects of interacting with each of them.
NPC Rewards And Interactions
Some of the NPCs will have multiple spawn points on the map, others are in fixed locations. There are also hostile NPCs like the Mandalorian and Ruckus. Fortunately, the majority of them are friendly who will just hand out missions instead of trying to end you. Here are the effects of interacting with an NPC:
-
- Get a bounty from them, if you manage to eliminate a player within the time limit.
- Receive a quest that will reward you with some gold bars. These quests are not limited to that particular session when you triggered it, but rather across multiple sessions with a one hour time limit to complete it.
- Buy weapons, ammunition, and utility items from them.
- Reveal a player, or a number of players, that are near you at that time.
- Recruit the NPC as a party member for the rest of the game.
