Where to talk to Characters to receive free items in Fortnite

Characters (NPCs) have been everpresent on the island since Fortnite Chapter 1. They inhabit the island and bring it to life. Players can run into Characters during gameplay and interact with them to obtain a few nuggets of information, purchase items or services from them, and even receive free items. Although there's no telling what items players will receive for free, they may come in handy occasionally.

As part of the "This Season" Challenge for week twelve, you will have to talk to five Characters (NPCs) to receive free items in Fortnite. While they aren't too talkative and barely have anything to say, completing the task will yield 25,000 experience points.

The first step of the challenge is very basic in nature. You will have to land next to a Character (NPC) that's present on the island. There are many to be found, but not all of them will grant free items.

Some are part of certain Seasonal Quests and may not take too kindly to being pestered. That said, here is a list of Character (NPCs) that can be interacted with and where to find them:

  • CRZ-8 - Bamboo Circle
  • Serenade - Marine Monoliths/Mossy Monoliths/Mountain Monoliths
  • Evie - Knotty Nets
  • Dahlia - Beep 'N Bounce
  • Garrison - Watery Watch
  • Styx - The Herald Tree
  • Longshot - Royal Ruin
  • Spider-Gwen - Slappy Shores
  • Mizuki - Eastern Watch
  • Highwire - Kenjutsu Crossing

2) Interacting with them to receive free items

After locating a Character (NPC), to receive free items, you must interact with them to seal the deal. Remember that each Character (NPC) will only give free items once per match and player. On that note, if your inventory is full when the free items are given, they will be dropped on the ground for you to manually pick up.

In general, it's ideal to talk to Characters (NPCs) at the start of the match as they often drop Small Shield Potions and other utility or mobility-based items. These will come in handy during early-game fights and skirmishes.
