Contents hide Fortnite NPC locations map All Fortnite NPCs for hire Every NPC service and cost All Fortnite boss locationsFortnite’s looped island has a bunch of things to do for players, whether it’s completing weekly challenges or getting hands on the mythic items. Furthermore, the latest Chapter 5 Season 4 continues the trend of players gaining a gameplay advantage by interacting with NPC characters on the island.
These characters can easily be found while you’re traversing the Marvel-themed map and can be interacted with if you require their services in exchange for Gold Bars. However, you’ll need to be stacked with said currency in your inventory that you can only get from Loot Chests or inside Weapon Bunkers.
Once you’ve got that down, you’re ready to hire or get NPC services in the game. Here are all the locations where you can find these NPCs and the service each one offers in the current season.

Keep in mind if you’re not able to find an NPC at the exact same spot, it’s because they’ve either been hired by an enemy or they’ve been eliminated. However, you’ll still be able to see their Hologram to claim services, but unfortunately won’t be able to hire eliminated NPCs.

When defeated, these bosses drop mythic loot and medallions that grant you special abilities throughout a Battle Royale match. Below is a map with all the marked locations of bosses in Chapter 5 Season 4.

- Mysterio – Can be found roaming around a giant statue at Doomstadt POI. Once defeated, grants the Mythic Sovereign Shotgun and Stealth Medallion that turns you invisible when you crouch.
- Emma Frost – Can be found sitting on a throne near the cells at The Raft POI. Once defeated, grants the Mythic Burst Assault Rifle and Reveal Medallion that pings enemy locations and marks them consistently throughout the match.
