A new season of Fortnite means a new population of NPCs to meet and greet--or sometimes defeat. On the island right out of the gate with Chapter 3, Season 2 are 24 NPCs ranging from returning heroes to brand-new ones. Many of them offer unique weapons, perks like storm circle information, and items for sale, so aside from simply filling out your collection, you'll want to meet them all as soon as possible so you can know where to find some of Fortnite's best gameplay items. Here's where to find all Fortnite NPCs in Chapter 3, Season 2.

Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2 NPC map

There are 24 NPCs on the island currently. While some are just where they were last season, many more are in new places, or have never even been in the game as NPCs until now. As usual, not all NPCs are available in every round. Some groups of NPCs rotate in and out in places like Camp Cuddle and The Joneses, for example. We've made it clear which ones will be trickier to find as a result of variable spawn rates. Use our map below to help locate all NPCs for related challenges, items, and to read their lore-heavy dialogue.

1. The Origin - At the northern end of Sanctuary
2. The Imagined - Can be found at one of several Seven Outposts
3. The Visitor - At Launchpad, northeast of Sanctuary
4. The Scientist - In the garage at Synapse Station
5. Agent Jones - Can be found at one of several Seven Outposts
6. The Foundation - Patrolling the south-central region of Sanctuary
7. Bunker Jones - In The Joneses; not present every round
8. Ludwig - In The Joneses; not present every round
9. Brainiac - Walking a dirt path west of The Joneses; not present every round
10. Mullet Marauder - In The Joneses; not present every round
11. Jonesy The First - In The Joneses; not present every round
12. Cuddle Team Leader - In Camp Cuddle, inside the northernmost cabin near the wood bridge
13. Metal Team Leader - In Camp Cuddle, inside the metal cabin; not present every round
14. Cuddlepool - In Camp Cuddle, inside the red cabin; not present every round
15. Quackling - In Camp Cuddle, inside the yellow cabin; not present every round
16. Guaco - In Greasy Grove, hiding in an attic of a yellow house
17. Lil Whip - In Coney Crossroads, hiding in a room in a white house
18. Bao Bros - In Condo Canyon, hiding inside a motel
19. Tomatohead - In Tilted Towers, hiding in a tall building near the soccer field
20. Mancake - In Rocky Reels, hiding below the movie screen
21. Peely - In The Daily Bugle, hiding in the central newspaper office
22. Gunnar - Inside Command Cavern patrolling at ground level; hostile
23. Huntmaster Saber - Inside the Airship flying above Command Cavern; hostile
24. Doctor Slone - The Fortress, patrolling outside the massive drill

The reason so many NPCs are in hiding is that they are a part of the Resistance, the group of loopers who have taken up arms to drive out the Imagined Order. These heroic NPCs have formed makeshift operating stations complete with Seven tech in small, easy-to-miss rooms where the IO hopefully won't find them.

Also note which NPCs are hostile, as they'll shoot you on sight. However, this also means they each drop Mythic weapons, which are unique and can only be equipped by one person at a time, as there are no duplicates. As for the NPCs at The Joneses or Camp Cuddle, remember that they won't all spawn in every round.

At The Joneses, you'll usually be missing one or two versions of Jones in each round, while at Camp Cuddle, just one of the three NPCs in small colorful cabins will spawn in each round--alongside the everpresent Cuddle Team Leader--so you'll need to pass through several times until you meet everyone. Agent Jones and The Imagined, meanwhile, both spawn at any Seven Outpost, though they don't seem to spawn at the same one in the same round, so this look does require a bit of luck.

As more NPCs arrive on the island this season, we'll update our list and map so you can meet them quickly and fill out your collection book once more. For more on Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2, check out our guide to the new weapons, map changes, and the battle pass.

Asking "How is everyone?" at the beginning of every meeting isn't always the best way to encourage team bonding. Sometimes, having a fun ice breaker can aid in that connection.

Trustedd is proud to announce the release of its limited 3D Art Avatar NFT Collection designed to change the Face of Modern Business and Education.

Trustedd is a new cutting-edge Web 3 Ecosystem dedicated to revolutionizing modern innovation and education by establishing a transparent and validated community that deems one another trustworthy. By doing so trustedd aims to solve misinformation and scams, especially in the crypto and blockchain realm. By creating this unique Gateway into Web 3, trustedd users have the opportunity to build a transparent trustedd score and safely connect with the right people, and find the exact services and products they are in need of within seconds.

To bring this vision to life in the fastest and most decentralized way possible, the trustedd Founding Members Collection will be marked as the foundation of the ecosystem. The Founding Member NFTs will be released on the Ethereum blockchain and come to life as an exclusive membership for the new Ecosystem, available to individuals, businesses, and brands alike who share the values and vision of trustedd. The Genesis Collection is limited to 10.000 Avatars, but there are millions of unique trustedd 3D avatars to come in the future.

"Any holder of the Founding Member NFT, no matter if a person, a business, a brand, or organization symbolizes that he or she wants to foster innovation and the adoption of new technologies through education and collaboration." - Christof Wallner, CEO & Founder

The Founding Members Avatars are created through machine-learning generated 3D Avatars that are both individually unique and come with a functional design. Like a fingerprint, every Avatar has its own uniquely generated design, making it easy to visually distinguish them from another, giving individuals and businesses the option to build a memorable and recognizable brand around their artwork.

To ensure utility trustedd 3D Avatars can be seen as the 'iPhone of NFTs'. Users can utilize their Avatars directly in Metaverses, Conference Calls like Zoom, and in the future even as your private Virtual Assistant as an alternative to current Voice Assistants within the trustedd Ecosystem.

As a demo, the first official trustedd video trailer, 'It is time to wake up!' was created with the 3D Avatar which will be available for Founding Member NFT Holders only a few days after the official NFT Sale.

Trustedd will implement a Dutch Auction system to launch its Genesis Collection in March 2022. That will allow the community to set the price of the NFTs. A Dutch Auction is a market structure in which the price of something offered is determined after all bids arrive at the highest price at which the total offering can be sold. The starting price for the auction will be 100 ETH and once the bidding begins, the price of the NFT will decrease by 1 ETH every 8 minutes until it is either sold out or hits the set floor price of 1 ETH.

The Founding Member NFT sales revenues will be used to build the planned Web 3 ecosystem, while parts of the sales revenue will go towards helping Ukraine. The trustedd ecosystem consists of a Web 3 platform accessible through any browser under trustedd.com and, in the future, of a native Operating System as an alternative to iOS, Android Operating Systems. The ecosystem and its content will then be curated and governed by its users under a legal Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
The generated proceeds from the NFT sale will be secured by an industry-leading Custody Provider. In addition, all transactions will be monitored by Chainanalysis, a leading KYT, to stay compliant with local and global regulations, and safely interact with emerging technology regulations.

Benefits of joining the Founding Members include an exclusive Membership, access to future NFT drops, an airdrop of trustedd's social token $trustedd, early access to contribution rights, new features on the ecosystem, exclusive invites to events, free and discounted Hardware, and much more. To be a part of the Founding Members is to be a part of an inner circle breaking ground on breakthrough innovations and next-gen developments.

Through proof of concept, dedication to innovation, and unwavering commitment to bridging the gap between blockchain technology and mainstream adoption, trustedd's purpose-driven vision can come to fruition with the release of the Founding Members NFTs.
