Fortnite: How to purchase an item from Spider-Gwen

Fortnite has just started the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse collaboration with Miles Morales and Spider-Man 2099. It's not just a skin crossover, though, as there are items in the game. Naturally, Spider-Gwen, another character from the franchise, is an NPC on the island and will play a big role in the event. Early on, players can complete a challenge simply by finding her and purchasing something from her.

Without having prior knowledge, gamers may not know by heart where which NPCs spawn this season. Fortunately, this guide will walk them through the steps to find her and how to purchase the item to make sure they complete this task.

Fortnite challenge: Purchase an item from Spider-Gwen NPC

Step 1: Head to Slappy Shores

Spider-Gwen can be found in Slappy Shores, which is the POI on the eastern coast of the island. It's roughly in the middle, between Knotty Nets and Lonely Labs. Her location is marked above. She can be found walking around one of the three locations there, so head to the POI and check your map.

Once you get close, you will see the chat icon pop up on your screen. When you see it, head right to it as Spider-Gwen will be there. Note that the minimap will have the icon on your screen, so you have to be fairly close by.

Step 2: Interact with her

When you first find Spider-Gwen, which may be difficult since she can be on the roof of a very tall building with a lot of stairs, you need to interact with her. Walk up to her and press the button that is prompted to begin a conversation with the NPC.

Step 3: Purchase an item

In her character's option wheel, Fortnite Spider-Gwen has the option to sell you either mini shields or a shield keg. You can buy either one for a relatively low cost and satisfy the requirements of this challenge. All you have to do is purchase the item from her, you don't have to use it or even take it. A small requirement for this quest is that you have to have some amount of gold to spend on the item.

Please note that Spider-Gwen will be a popular Fortnite NPC during this special event, so finding her may be something everyone is doing. If so, there will be a lot of traffic at Slappy Shores and a lot of danger. Be quick about buying the item from her so you don't die prematurely and have to start over.
