Getting to know all of the NPC character locations around the map in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 is something you should do early on. Aside from getting XP upon discovering each character, visiting them rewards you with free items each match. Furthermore, you can spend your Gold Bars with the different characters to get useful items and powerful weapons.
There are 15 NPC characters to find this season, plus the boss character, The Ageless One, and some others that seem to randomly spawn around the map as minibosses. You can view which characters you’ve discovered in your Collections menu tab, but there’s not much aside from lore there.

Before you go out and search for the characters, there are a few things to keep in mind. The characters walk around, so they will not always be in the exact same spot. Use the mini-map to see where the icon is in each relative location. If you can’t find the character, that’s because another player eliminated or hired them. Also remember that once you damage the character, you will no longer be able to speak to them.
Regarding the items each character offers, inventories appear consistent from match to match. Some characters aside from Wildcard may offer different items in different matches, but we’ve listed what we found. Please note all sold weapons are of Epic (purple) rarity or higher, which we note.
