Fortnite Characters locations in Season 3 of Chapter 6

The line up of Fortnite characters has been completely reset for the new season, and in keeping with the fresh Super theme there are a number of heroes to meet around the island. These include Superman himself and one half of the Dynamic Duo, Robin, though there are also a number of familiar faces you'll encounter such as Shadow Blade Hope, Vengeance Jones, and Outlaw Midas. The Supernova Academy POI is brimming over with characters as there are no less than five to be found in a small radius, so that's a great place to head if you want to make some new friends.

This gives us a total of 14 characters to find across the island, and while the number of NPCs is still quite low a lot of them are in close proximity to each other, which means there are some large areas of the map that currently aren't covered while the Supernova Academy is particularly busy! Interact with any of them you meet to receive useful items and have the chance to purchase hard-to-find weapons, as well as being able to invest in services to get a competitive edge over your rivals.

Watch out for the Scout, Heavy, Supply, and Medic Specialists who are denoted by a specific icon and can be hired during matches, as they each offer a unique set of skills and can be issued with Fortnite commands to deploy them strategically, gaining you a tactical advantage. Scouts can mark targets and snipe them from distance, Heavies are immune to fire and throw explosives, Supplies keep you topped up with ammo, while Medics provide healing and even revival where possible. It's likely that future quests will require particular characters to complete them, so it pays to know their locations in advance to quickly track down and meet them when it counts.

In a throwback to previous seasons, certain characters are once again responsible for handing out Island Story Fortnite quests, so it still pays to know their locations. They'll also give you handy items for free when you meet, as well as selling services such as healing your injuries, or rifting you into the sky. If you want to benefit from their abilities, then you'll need to know where to find these 14 different NPCs.

Fortnite characters accept payment in the form of Fortnite gold bars, which you can spend with them on weapons, items, and useful services. Because the world of Fortnite is so large you might not stumble upon them by accident, so follow my guide to all of the Fortnite characters locations and you'll be meeting up with these elusive NPCs in no time.

Fortnite Characters locations in Season 3 of Chapter 6

There are currently 14 official Fortnite characters, and you can keep track of the ones you've met so far by visiting the Characters tab on the Quests screen in-game – which is also accessible through the Collections option under the Quests tab in the lobby. They currently only spawn in one specific location each meaning no roaming characters, so I've marked all of the Fortnite characters locations I've encountered on the map. Bear in mind that if another player has hired or eliminated them, that will remove the character from their location.

You'll know when you're close to one as you'll see a speech bubble on your map, as well as on your screen above their head which you can see through walls – this is replaced with a specific Hire icon for characters you can recruit to fight by your side. Interact with them and the first time you meet you'll add them to your Collection, with a confirmation appearing on screen. This list shows where all of the Fortnite characters can be discovered:

• 1) Morgan Myst - Supernova Academy (northeast building basement)
• 2) Shadow Blade Hope - Supernova Academy (west building office)
• 3) Vengeance Jones - Supernova Academy (west building office)
• 4) Outlaw Midas - Utopia City (east building)
• 5) Killswitch - Foxy Floodgate
• 6) Haylee Skye - Pumped Power
• 7) Ziggy - Burd To Go (northwest of Shining Span)
• 8) Synthwave - west of Resistance Base
