When considering any purchases, it’s worth keeping in mind that finding lots of Gold Bars inFortniteis actually fairly difficult. Players will passively gather Gold Bars by eliminating their opponents and by looting cash registers.However, they typically won’t gather enough to regularly trade with NPCs unless they specifically dedicate time to search for Gold Bars.As such, players should think carefully about the trades they make.

Broadly speaking, buying weapons from NPCs isn’t recommended.Most NPC weapons, includingCaptain America’s Shield, can be found as floor loot and with some luck, players can claim high-quality weapons from defeated opponents as a match progresses. NPCs typically want up to 300 Gold Bars for weapons: an excessive amount for Epic-quality items that only last for a single match.

Similar toNPCs from previous seasons ofFortnite,Chapter 5 Season 4’s NPCswork best when hired as squadmates. This season, players can add certain NPCs such as Artemis, Centurion, Ruckus, and Triage Trooper to their squads.This is particularly powerful in Solos or Duos, where having an extra teammate provides an advantage that most players will struggle to beat.

Players can now also take down villain henchmen and choose to give them a second chance. This adds them to the squad as a temporary squadmate - a useful tactic when facing bosses.

When fighting each Boss, players should be particularly wary of other players lurking nearby. Boss weapons and gear are both unique and deadly in skilled hands, soplayers should prepare to fight both the Boss and other opponents at the same time.Boss Medallions are also highly sought after, due to their powerful passive effects.

It’s worth noting that any player with a Medallion has their rough location marked on the map for others to see. However, their powerful passive effects are worth the trade-off.

Regardless of whether players plan to trade or fight with them,Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4’sNPCs can often provide useful benefits and powerful advantages for anyone who seeks them out. As such, they can be incredibly useful for anyone aiming for a Victory Royale.
