Bounties and Characters

In the Zero Point season, a whole range of characters can be found around the Island… and this time not all of them are hostile. Talk to them to complete Quests and walk away ten tons richer. Some Fortnite Characters and static Bounty Boards will even offer a Bounty Event for you and your party, requiring you to hunt another player before time runs out. Check the map for a hint at your target’s last known location and track them down before someone else nabs the elimination.

Got a bounty on your head? Use the Tracking meter to gauge how hot the Hunter is on your trail. Avoid being taken out for long enough and you walk away with a reward instead. Protect your targeted teammates because everyone gets paid.

Once the Bounty target is done and dusted or you’ve eluded capture, your whole party will be rewarded with a new in-game currency - Bars!
