Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 dropped on March 19 with a fresh map, new storylines, and 14 NPCs scattered across the island ready to tip the odds in your favor. Whether you need a hired gun at your side, a quick health top-up, or a fast escape route, knowing exactly where each character stands and what they charge can be the difference between an early exit and a Victory Royale.
How Many NPCs Are in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2?
At season launch, 14 friendly NPCs are active across the Battle Royale map. Epic Games tends to rotate characters throughout a season, so some may move to new spots, disappear, or be replaced by new arrivals as updates roll out. The list below reflects the confirmed lineup at the start of the season, and this guide will track changes as they happen.
All NPC Locations and Services
Here is every confirmed character, where to find them, and exactly what they offer in exchange for gold bars.
warning
Attacking any friendly NPC will turn them hostile immediately. They will shoot back, so keep your crosshair away from them during the interaction prompt.

Hiring The Foundation in New Sanctuary
Where to Find the Best NPCs for Each Situation
Who Should You Hire as a Specialist?
Three NPCs are available for hire as combat companions, and each fills a distinct role.
- The Foundation at New Sanctuary costs 750 gold bars for a general Specialist role. He is the most expensive hire on the map, but his lore status as a Seven member suggests strong combat performance.
- Vengeance Jonesy at Sandy Strip costs 350 gold bars as an Assault Specialist, making him the go-to pick if you want aggressive firepower on a tighter budget.
- Rival Hope at New Sanctuary costs 350 gold bars as a Covert Specialist, better suited for players who prefer a stealthier approach.
- Squibbly west of Squibbly Shores costs 350 gold bars as a Scout Specialist, useful for tracking enemies and holding flanks.
info
If you land at New Sanctuary, you can find The Foundation, Rival Hope, and The Order all in the same POI, giving you a hired gun, a Covert Specialist, and an ammo restock without leaving the area.Where Can You Restore Health Quickly?
Four NPCs offer the Patch Up service for 500 gold bars each.
- Trog sits between Frigid Fortress and Painted Palms, making him a useful mid-map heal stop.
- Wonkee at Wonkeeland is ideal if you are rotating through the center of the island.
- Chef Squibbly (Manager) and Chef Squibbly (Fishmonger) both offer Patch Up at Squibbly Shores, so you have two options in that cluster.
Where Can You Restock Ammo Fast?
Three NPCs provide an ammo restock for 500 gold bars.
- Fishstick southwest of Squibbly Shores
- The Order at New Sanctuary
- The Visitor south of Wonkeeland
Fishstick's location near Squibbly Shores means you can grab ammo and a Pro Fishing Rod in the same visit by also stopping at one of the Chef Squibbly variants nearby.
Where Can You Activate a Rift to Go?
Two NPCs sell Rift to Go activations for 500 gold bars.
- Dasha at Tiptop Terrace, near the island's edge, is perfect for escaping a bad storm rotation.
- Elite Jules at Painted Palms gives you a Rift option in the eastern part of the map.

Season 2 NPC map overview
What Is the Cheapest NPC Service?
The Pro Fishing Rod sold by all three Chef Squibbly variants at Squibbly Shores costs just 250 gold bars, making it the most affordable NPC purchase in the season. If you are running low on gold, prioritizing Squibbly Shores for a cheap utility item is a smart move before heading into late-game rotations.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of NPCs
- Prioritize gold bar farming early. Most services cost 350 to 750 gold bars, so looting chests and eliminating players before visiting NPCs keeps you self-sufficient.
- Squibbly Shores is a goldmine. Four NPCs cluster in and around this POI, offering fishing rods, health, and ammo in one stop. Just be aware other players know this too.
- Hired Specialists follow you into combat. Vengeance Jonesy, Rival Hope, and Squibbly will actively engage enemies, so hiring one early can take pressure off you during mid-game fights.
- Rift to Go NPCs are lifesavers in bad zones. If the storm catches you off-guard near Tiptop Terrace or Painted Palms, Dasha and Elite Jules can pull you out instantly.
- Do not waste gold on ammo restocks if you are stocked. Save the 500 gold bars for a Specialist hire or Rift activation when your ammo count is already healthy.
