Fortnite Season 5 is jam-packed with exciting surprises and hidden secrets. The map is dotted with various NPCs that you can interact with, providing a unique layer of strategy and gameplay. You can spend hard-earned gold currency on their supplies or even hire them to become your battle-ready companions. Each NPC boasts a special skill, capable of turning the tide of the game if you know how to utilize them strategically. They’ll even obey simple commands like “follow,” “stop,” or even revive you if you get knocked down by an enemy.
The mid-season Fortnite update featured the legendary Solid Snake as a playable skin, introducing a new quest with challenges related to the iconic character. You can also find Solid Snake on the map, engage in trades, or hire him for your missions.
Unlock the skins of NPCs like Peter Gryphon, Solid Snake, and Valeria through the battle pass. If you haven’t reached the required level, you can always utilize V-bucks to skip those levels and get your hands on these coveted skins.

The most effective tactic to conquer these bosses is to eliminate all regular NPCs or enemy squads before engaging the boss. This significantly simplifies the fight, allowing you to focus on the boss without distractions. Defeating these bosses also grants you their Society Medallions, which are crucial for unlocking their hidden vaults. These medallions offer a valuable advantage during matches by gradually restoring your shield after taking damage. The more medallions you possess, the faster your shield regenerates. However, be cautious! Holding medallions reveals your location on the map, and the more you possess, the smaller the circle becomes, making you vulnerable to enemy squads.
