Gamers will find various characters on the Fortnite Battle Royale island, and they all add something unique to the game. There are two types of NPCs in Fortnite, friendly characters that provide helpful services and hostile characters that will shoot on sight. Even though gamers might feel inclined to only approach the friendly folk on the island, both types can be crucial to getting a Victory Royale.

Hostile NPCs and Bosses
There are hostile NPCs on the island as well, but this doesn't mean that you should avoid them altogether, as most of them have a valuable reward that can impact the rest of the match.
Wasteland Warrior Bosses
As soon as players start the match, Wasteland Warrior markers will appear on each player's map. These markers indicate the presence of a Medallion boss that has not been challenged yet.
There are threemedallions on the map, and each of them provides a unique ability that only its carrier can yield. The Wasteland Warriors can be found at Redline Rig, Nitrodrome, and Brutal Beachhead. However, Ringmaster Scarr, the boss at Nitrodrome, is the only one that has a fixed position; the others may be wandering around the map on their Nitro-infused vehicles.
These characters have minions who will attempt to protect them, so to avoid losing too much health, players should take them out before trying to defeat the boss. Once defeated, the boss will drop a Medallion and unique Mythic weapons.
Forecast Tower Bosses
On top of this, there are also Forecast Towers on the map near Reclaimed Villa, Restored Reels, Lil' Villa, Zenith Wall, and Estate Station. Before the second Storm Circle begins to close, three hostile NPCs will spawn near these locations. Players can take them out in order to collect the boss's Epic-rarity Huntress DMR and secure the forecast, which will allow them to see the next Storm Circle before it's revealed.
