Fortnite: Chapter 2 Season 5 <\/strong>is finally here and there’s a host of new challenges for you to complete. <\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll need to stop folk trying to escape The Loop<\/a> in Fortnite: Chapter 2 Season 5 but before you do any of that, you’ll need to try out a new feature to complete some of this week’s challenges by talking to a character.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This is an entirely new feature in Fortnite as the closest you previously got to talking to a character was screaming at your pals over a headset in voice chat. <\/p>\n

To get started, you’ll need to discover five named locations<\/strong> around the map for Lexa before the talk to a character challenge<\/strong> unlocks. Afterwards, check your map for square speech bubbles<\/strong> that indicate a character is nearby.<\/p>\n

Fortnite: Chapter 2 Season 5 – How to talk to characters and pick up Bounties<\/h2>\n

There are around 40 characters available to talk to in Fortnite and they’ll have a little speech-bubble above their heads. You can find at least one in each named location<\/strong> and point of interest, and once you’ve had a chat with them, they’ll give out Bounties<\/strong> which you can complete during a match. <\/p>\n

You’ll need to complete five Bounties<\/strong> and speak to three Characters<\/strong> as part of the Week 1 challenges, so jump in and get chatting. Bounties<\/strong> range from eliminating players to using specific weapons for kills, so pick whatever you like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you find that this challenge doesn’t auto-complete after speaking with an NPC, logout and close the game before trying again. You can check out what’s in the new Battle Pass here<\/a>, alongside all the latest map changes.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortnite is now available on the Xbox Series X and PS5 next week and you can check out all the next-gen improvements here.<\/a><\/p>\n
