Epic Games has introduced a new NPC called Ragsy to Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8. Players are now tasked with finding out the NPC's whereabouts and getting to know him.
Fortnite has been steadily bringing in new faces and Ragsy is the latest recruit. Fortnite Season 8 started with 17 NPC's and the number has grown to 23.
Tracking down Ragsy on Fortnite island
The new NPC is in the Risky Reels region of the Season 8 map. Risky Reels is located near the center of Fortnite, north of the purple Aftermath. This area was created after aliens in Season 7 destroyed the Spire. It is located to the east of Corny Crops.
