Fortnite Chapter 3 is here and we're breaking down each of the NPCs you'll be able to find on the island. Once again, these will be the primary quest givers throughout the season.
Until Chapter 3, Season 1 is live, we're having to use a Battle Pass leak to determine which NPCs will appear on the island. Once Season1 is live, we will head into the game and give you exact locations of where you can find each one!
Locations
Twitter user @meetlootllama has compiled a helpful map containing all NPC locations so far. More will be coming to the game soon but this should help you track down anyone you're looking for in the first few weeks!
Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 NPCs
Based on a leak of the entire Season 1 Battle Pass and from @iFireMonkey, we're able to see the following NPCs who will appear on the island;
- Shanta
- Lt. John Llama
- The Scientist
- The Visitor
- Tomato Head
- Ludwig
- Mancake
- Metal Team Leader
- Mullet Marauder
- Ragsy
- Quackling
- Brainiac
- Bao Bros
- Cuddlepool
- Cuddle Team Leader
- Island Nomad
- Guaco
- Lil' Whip
- Agent Jones
- Bunker Jonesy
- Jonesy The First
This list still looks a lot bigger than in previous seasons so we're not expecting any more to be available when the game is live. There is also the possibility that only a few will be available at launch in more will be added throughout the season.
Once the season is live, we'll head to the island and find the locations of each of these NPCs and keep you updated.
Are Punchcards Back?
Yes! Rejoice as it's been confirmed that Punchards are returning in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1. These have proven to be very popular as they make the XP grind a lot easier.
This should also mean that multiple stages of a single punchcard can be completed in a single game. There was the argument that earning XP became a little too easy during Season 8 but early signs suggest this has been balanced further.
Earning XP in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 should be the fairest it's been in some time. Whether it's through quests from NPCs or milestone challenges. Everything should feel rewarding and aid the progress of the Battle Pass.
