You’ll want to meet them all to take advantage of these things, so once downtime ends, we’ll be filling out a complete map and list to help you locate every Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 NPC.

All Exotic and Mythic weapons in Chapter 4 Season 2

Some friendly NPCs sell Exotic weapons, while the game’s hostile NPCs often drop Mythics. Exotics have special features, whereas each Mythic is hands-down the best versions of a particular gun. Check back after downtime where we’ll be covering how to find each Exotic and Mythic weapon in Chapter 4 Season 2.
