Which characters are hanging out on the island this season?
The Character Collection tasks you with finding all of the NPCs hanging out across the Fortnite map in Chapter 3 Season 3.
While you’ll meet most by simply exploring the Fortnite map, others are harder due to them rotating their appearance in matches with other characters.
Below you’ll learn how to complete your Character Collection and all of the current character locations in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3.

Character Collection in Fortnite explained
With the beginning of every new Fortnite season comes a new collection of characters to the island. They appear across the Fortnite map and act as vendors, but will attack if you decide to open fire.
The Character Collection is a catalogue containing all of the characters who are currently appearing on the island during the current season. To add a character to this collection, all you have to do is find and talk to them during a match or, if they’re a hostile foe, attack them on sight.
It’s important to note that certain characters in Chapter 3 Season 3 won’t appear in every match, so, to find them all, you’ll have to visit certain locations multiple times to see if they’re present.
Character Collection list and locations in Fortnite
Below you’ll find all of the characters, along with their locations, that are currently in the Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 Character Collection.
Like the previous seasons, a selection of these characters will only appear in specific matches, such as the various Jonesys in The Joneses and the residents of Shroom Chalet. We’ve put ‘Variant’ next to these characters in the table below, so you’ll know which ones to keep an eye out for.
Two characters - Lil' Whip and The Foundation - are currently unavailable, so, if you don't have them in your Charater Collection, you'll have to see if they return later on in the season.
Character Collection badge reward explained
Completing the Character Collection for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 will earn you a small reward, but it’s not Battle Pass XP.
Instead, you’ll obtain a badge in your Legacy page, which is accessed from the Careers tab in the game’s main hub. This tab also allows you to look back on your Fortnite achievements starting from the beginning of Chapter 2.
It’s currently possible to complete the Character Collection for Chapter 3 Season 3 and earn the badge, but it will take you a number of matches to find all of the characters. You will also earn a small amount of XP when you talk to a character during a match.
Chapter 3 Season 3 has arrived - bringing with it a new Battle Pass, character collection, map locations and Victory Umbrella, along with the return of Victory Crowns. You can now get Indiana Jones skins and cosmetics by completing challenges like collecting relics, damaging opponents in vehicles, and finding the secret door location. It's also good to know how to ride animals, the geyser locations along with where to find a Baller and zipline and use the new Grapple Glove, and if you're after a specific Battle Pass skin, then it's a good idea to know how to get XP fast.
