From hidden jungle camps to high-tech outposts, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 scatters its characters across the island in surprising places. Here’s where you can track down every NPC to trade, hire, and complete missions before the storm rolls in.
The characters are all found in different points of interest, which we map out below. As you get close to them, you’ll notice a speech bubble or hire icon on your minimap, indicating where they are specifically. Our map points to their general location, but you’ll have to find them specifically, since they walk around.
If you head there and the character is missing, it’s possible that they were eliminated or hired before you got there. If you’re trying to grab all 25 characters for your collection, we recommend dropping on them to guarantee that you’ll get a chance to chat before they get swooped up.
The characters are as follows:
- Fennix
- Volpez
- Innovator Slone
- Aura
- Nia
- Guardian Amara
- Trace
- Peely
- Purradise Meowscles
- Remedy
- Triage Trooper
- Kitbash
- Beastmode
- Insight
- Longshot
- Munitions Expert
- Triggerfish
- Bryne
- Turk
- Riptide
- Stingray
- Era
- Princess Lexa
- Bushranger
- Garrison
Where to find each NPC by POI on the Chapter 4 Season 3 map
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 featured around 25 NPCs positioned near key Points of Interest (POIs) on the map, with locations tied to areas like The Citadel, Mega City, and Rumble Ruins. These spots allowed players to interact for items, upgrades, or XP, and the in-game map’s Characters tab showed nearby icons.

NPCs spawned consistently near these landmarks, though exact spots varied slightly per match.

Interaction Notes
Visit the Characters tab in-game to pinpoint active spawns and claim free rewards from each NPC on first chat. Highcard bosses near vaults (e.g., Mega City, Eastern Watch) drop keys but become hostile when engaged.
Show a POI map with all NPC icons marked
Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3’s map featured NPCs near major POIs like The Citadel and Mega City, with no official interactive map directly embedding all icons in search results. Interactive maps from sites like Fortnite.GG or Polygon provide visual overviews of the island with NPC markers toggled via filters.
