All Chapter 4 Season 3 NPC Locations
As players explore the vast Fortnite map, they may come across speech bubbles indicating nearby characters with whom they can interact. These Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) offer services in exchange for gold bars. This guide provides the locations and services of all the friendly NPCs in the Collection tab, as well as other encounters players may have with various characters throughout Chapter 4 Season 3.
Update 25.10 introduced new friendly NPCs that players can rely on for help and services, as well as a new jungle boss. Defeating the jungle boss rewards players with exclusive Mythic rarity loot that cannot be obtained any other way. This guide has been updated to include these new additions.
At the start of the season, players could find 16 NPCs on the island, and now there are 20 wandering around, each with their own unique services to offer. None of these NPCs are hostile unless provoked, and taking them out only yields uncommon loot. Knowing where to find specific NPCs can be useful for completing quests. Here are their locations and services:
Players should always talk to NPCs when they’re nearby, as they offer free items and XP. Other NPCs may be encountered randomly on the map, but cannot be interacted with. Highcard NPCs can be defeated for a vault key, allowing players to open vaults at specific landmarks. Wildguard Relik is the main boss of the season, hostile at all times, but defeating him rewards players with exclusive Mythic items.
Fortnite is available on various platforms, including Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. For more information on Battle Pass skins, check out our guide to Chapter 4 Season 3.

This guide has been updated to include all of these new additions to Fortnite.
Friendly Character Locations and Services
At the start of the season, players could find a total of 16 NPCs on the Fortnite island, and now there are 20 characters wandering on the islandall of which have their own services to offer. It’s likely that this number will increase as more updates are released throughout Chapter 4 Season 3.
None of these NPCs will be hostile or aggressive towards the players unless provoked. It’s not worth taking them out on purpose since they have a significant amount of health and only drop uncommon loot once eliminated.

Gamers should always talk to an NPC when they’re nearby; characters will give a free item and some XP to those that speak to them.
Other NPCs
There are more NPCs on the map beside the ones mentioned above; they work a bit differently, but players can still benefit from encountering them.
Random Encounters
Players might have random encounters on the map with unexpected NPCs. It’s not possible to interact with these charactersand they will often simply be standing around with a few chests around them or doing a random activity.
Highcard NPC
There are also Highcard NPCs that appear marked on the map, and players can defeat them to collect a vault key. These characters aren’t hostile at first, but the entire group will start shooting at the player if they attack them. Gamers can take down the Highcard boss to open the vaults at the Eastern Watch landmark, the Secluded Spire, and Meadow Mansion.
Wildguard Relic Boss
Wildguard Relik is Chapter 4 Season 3’s main boss. Unlike Highcard, he is hostile at all times and will immediately attack on sight. Even though he’s strong and highly aggressive, Wildguard Relik can be worth defeatingespecially if gamers have confidence in their arsenal of weapons and are at max health and shields.
Wildguard Relik drops two exclusive items once he’s been defeated: Wildguard Relik’s Mythic Cloak Gauntlets and Wildguard Relik’s Mythic MK-Alpha Assault Rifle. These are improved versions of the Cloak Gauntlets and the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle. So, even though they’re harder to obtain, they’re a guaranteed drop and will provide an advantage compared to their standard counterparts.
Fortnite is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
