General Grievous roams in the area north of Masked Meadows and the Outpost Enclave.

Captain Phasma is located at the First Order Base, where players have the opportunity to battle her. Defeating her will earn you Phasma’s F-11D Blaster and a First Order Medallion which extends the overheat duration for plasma rifles located all around the island. Gaining both of these powers grants players an incredible power advantage and should make Phasma a top NPC priority for groups looking to utilize NPCs to gear up.
10. Wookie Team Leader
Wookie Team Leader can be found patrolling the park area of Masked Meadows. This friendly NPC sells both the Epic-rarity CR-2 Blaster and the Rare-rarity ACP Scatter Blaster. The CR-2 Blaster is currently unavailable for purchase but should become available in upcoming updates. The ACP Scatter Blaster will cost you 200 gold bars. While these aren’t the most impactful NPC rewards this season, interacting with the Wookie Team Leader could be a great way to boost your early-game loot if you drop in Masked Meadows.
11. Poe Dameron
Poe Dameron is stationed at the Resistance Base, where he assigns players an X-Wing quest. When you complete this quest, you are rewarded with the Legendary-rarity A280-CFE Blaster Rifle. He also sells the Rare-rarity CR-2 Blaster for 200 gold bars. Poe is easily one of the most impactful NPCs this season due to the fact you can acquire a legendary weapon through his questline.
12. Shadow Blade Hope
You’ll also find Shadow Blade Hope at the Resistance Base, where she sells two different items. The Rare-rarity A280-CFE Blaster Rifle will cost you 200 gold bars and the Rift to Go will cost you 300 gold bars. The Rift to Go is the more impactful item by far as it will allow for instant rotations out of the Resistance Base.

14. Darth Vader Samurai
Head west, and where Shogun's Solitude once stood, you'll now find Vader's Samurai Solitude.

This unique version of Darth Vader can be found at Vader Samurai’s Solitude, a menacing fortress on the island. Players must first defeat his guards before gaining the opportunity to take on Vader himself. The reward for taking Vader down is a different red-colored lightsaber. This lightsaber not is powerful on its own, but also grants the Force Saber Throw ability which flings your lightsaber forward like a boomerang.
Esports Impact
These NPCs offer very unique combat options that highly skilled players can take advantage of. In a season that is operating with blaster rifles only, abilities like Phasma’s First Order Medallion can be super impactful for battles in competitive tournaments. With the loot and abilities offered at the First Order Base, it is very likely that pro players will be landing at this location and attempting to take down Phasma themselves.
Every force ability can offer unique ways for players to gain an advantage in battle. The Force Push ability seems like a great escape tactic if you run out of blaster charge or need to heal up when an enemy is in close-quarters. Every ability will continue to be used by pro players in creative ways as we approach some of the biggest tournaments of the year.
These unique NPCs help shape player experience on the island and are great alternative routes for players to gain powerful gear and abilities. Knowing what these NPCs offer is crucial for optimizing your party’s strategy in-game. Stay tuned for more updates as Fortnite continues to update the map and add additional NPCs and items to the Galactic Battle Season.
