Where to find all NPC characters in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1
Epic GamesFortnite’s Chapter 6 map features NPCs that can assist in battles and quests, or offer your valuable loot in exchange for Gold Bars. This guide provides all their locations for easy navigation.
In Battle Royale, interacting with NPCs offers unique advantages. Chapter 6 Season 1: Hunters has continued this staple feature by scattering several characters around the map.
Each NPC brings distinct benefits; trading valuable items for powerful weapons or services, while bosses provide strong loot and exclusive Mythic rewards upon defeat.
Here’s a list of all the NPCs and their locations in Fortnite for Chapter 6.
All Fortnite NPC character locations on Chapter 6 map
11 NPC characters can be found spread across the Chapter 6 map, which are all marked on this season’s Fortnite island map image below.
Dexerto / Epic GamesEach NPC spawns in the same location every match, except for Bushranger, who appears randomly within the Nightshift Forest POI and roams the area. You can easily track all NPCs using the Characters tab in your in-game menu, which marks their locations on the map.
Canyon Crossing, Hopeful Heights, and Nightshift Forest are the only POIs with multiple NPCs. At Canyon Crossing and Hopeful Heights, two NPCs remain close to each other, making them relatively easy to locate.
Nightshift Forest, however, features three NPCs. While Kendo and Jade stay near one another, Bushranger’s random spawn points throughout the forest add an extra challenge to finding him.
Most NPCs this season are positioned centrally on the map, offering convenient access compared to previous seasons. The notable exception is Vengeance Jones, who is located in the southeastern corner of the Battle Royale island at Hopeful Heights.
Keep in mind, if an NPC is missing from its usual location, it’s likely been defeated or recruited by another player.

Upcoming NPC characters
With Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 introducing nine NPCs, it is an increase from the six featured in the previous shorter, month-long Remix season. However, it’s still far fewer than the typical three-month-long seasons, such as Chapter 5 Season 4, which featured 21 standard NPCs.
As the season progresses, we can expect more NPCs to be added, including potential additions like Baymax and Godzilla, who appear in this season’s Battle Pass, as well as more collaborations with major franchises. However, Epic has not yet officially announced that any more NPCs will be added.
