Where to purchase a weapon from a Vending Machine and a Character in Fortnite

Weapons can make or break a match in Fortnite, and depending on their loadout, players can either secure a Victory Royale or be sent back to the Lobby. It's crucial to know where to find good weapons during a match. Thankfully, instead of searching high and low for them, they can be bought outright from Vending Machines (Weapon-O-Matic) and Characters (NPCs)

That being said, as part of the "This Season" Challenge for week twelve, you will have to purchase two weapons from an NPC and a Weapon-O-Matic in-game. Upon completing the challenge, 25,000 experience points will be rewarded. Since this is a trivial task at best, completing it should not be a problem.

Step-by-step guide on how to purchase a weapon from a Vending Machine and a Character in Fortnite

To complete this challenge, you must do two things: Find a Vending Machine (Weapon-O-Matic) to purchase a weapon and find a Character (NPC) to purchase a weapon from.

1) Where to find a Vending Machine (Weapon-O-Matic) to purchase a weapon

Vending Machines (Weapon-O-Matics) can be found all across the island. Unlike their Mending Machine counterparts, Weapon-O-Matics are more common. A few prominent places to find them at are as follows:

• Breakwater Bay
• The Citadel
• Shattered Slabs
• Anvil Square
• Frenzy Fields
• Mega City
• Kenjutsu Crossing
• Knotty Nets
• Slappy Shores
• Brutal Bastion
• Lonely Labs

Although they can easily be found at these POIs, given that other players tend to land here at the start of every match, you may face difficulty in purchasing a weapon. For this reason, landing at more off beat locations (Landmarks) to complete the challenge may be a better option. Here are a few to try out:

• Rocky Docks
• Royal Ruin
• Pleasant Passage
• Drift Ridge
• Crude Harbor

Once a Vending Machine (Weapon-O-Matic) has been found, interact with it to purchase the weapon and complete the challenge. If you find that you already have a good weapon, buy the cheapest weapon available to complete the task. With a few days to go until Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 begins, Gold Bars are still useful to horde in the current season.

2) Where to find a Character (NPC) to purchase a weapon

Similar to Vending Machines (Weapon-O-Matics), Characters (NPCs) can be found at fixed location on the island. While there are about 25 different NPCs, not all of them sell weapons. For example, some offer their services, while others sell utility items.

That being said, here's a list of the all NPCs that sell weapons, and where to find them on the island in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2:

• Evie - Tactical Pistol - Knotty Nets
• Garrison - Maven Auto Shotgun - Watery Watch
• P33ly - Combat Shotgun - Pleasant Passage
• Polar Patroller - Combat Shotgun - Icy Islets
• Stray - Heavy Sniper Rifle - Mega City
• Sunflower - Havoc Pump Shotgun - Frenzy Fields
• Thunder - Red-Eye Assault Rifle - Lotus Lookout
• Sludge - Havoc Pump Shotgun - Steamy Springs
• Munitions Expert - Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle - Breakwater Bay
• Imani - Twin Mag SMG - South of The Citadel
• Renzo The Destroyer - Lock On Pistol/Grenade - Brutal Bastion
• Hirewire - Dragon's Breath Sniper/Firefly Jar - Kenjutsu Crossing
• Styx - Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle - The Herald Tree
• Dahlia - Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle - Beep 'N Bounce
• Serenade - Monoliths - Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle/Heisted Breacher Shotgun/Heisted Bling Mag SMG

Keep in mind that when interacting with Characters (NPCs) that can be hired, you should always purchase the weapon before hiring them. This is because they will no longer sell a weapon once they are hired.
