Want to know where the Fortnite NPCs are? Despite changes to how animals and crafting work in the new season, Chapter 2 Season 7 still has a bunch of NPCs to find all across the Fortnite map. Some familiar faces have shifted positions, while other new ones, such as Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, are in places you may not expect to find them.
Several challenges in the latest season require you to find certain NPCs and talk to them. While the bulk of them are a friendly bunch that you can trade Fortnite gold bars with, there’s a couple that will shoot you on sight. There’s even one that could be classed as a boss – they’re surrounded by guards and have access to some incredible powers. You’ll certainly need to equip the best Fortnite guns to defeat them.
So in this Fortnite NPC guide, we’ll be going over the locations for all the Fortnite NPCs, which ones are hostile, and how to defeat the ‘boss’ NPC found in Corny Complex. This includes where you can converse with Sunny, Joey, or Beach Brutus for the Season 7 Week 3 Legendary challenge. Expect to see more NPCs added to this map in the future as Epic usually adds new characters throughout the season.

Doctor Slone
Most of the NPCs in Fortnite are rather unremarkable, even the ones that shoot at you, but one NPC may give you a bit of trouble. Doctor Slone is the boss of the IO guards that are in Corny Complex. you’ll need to get through a bunch of guards before reaching her main base of operations underneath the red barn.

Fighting her is another issue entirely. She has a larger shield pool than her IO guard allies and she has a unique Pulse Rifle that does tons of damage. On top of that, when her shield runs low, she’ll make two copies who have the same firepower but slightly lower health and shield pools. Make sure you have decent guns with tons of ammo, and build walls to protect yourself from her shots. If you eliminate her, you will get a special mythic rarity weapon called ‘Slone’s Pulse Rifle’, which is a variant of one of the Fortnite alien weapons.
And those are all of the known Fortnite NPC locations. It’s likely that other NPCs will join at a later date, so do check back soon. While you’re here, you wish to know where the Fortnite alien artifacts are to customise your Kymera styles, or where the Fortnite rubber ducks are to complete that challenge.
