Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 continues with its thrilling story quests, and a key task for players is locating Captain Jones on the map. Finding this NPC is essential to progress through the storyline and earn valuable XP to boost your Battle Pass.
Like previous seasons, Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 is populated with NPCs who offer various services and items. These characters can provide healing supplies, sell powerful weapons, and even be hired as in-game companions. For the latest story quests, interacting with Captain Jones is mandatory to complete this week’s missions and prepare for future updates from Epic Games.
Finding Captain Jones in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4
Locating Captain Jones in the current Fortnite landscape is straightforward. He is currently stationed in a house situated northeast of the Nitrodome. This is his most recent position, making it the primary spot to search for him.

It’s worth noting that Captain Jones has changed locations before. Previously, he was located at the Ship It! station, which is northwest of the Nitrodome.

To ensure you find him, it’s advisable to check your in-game map for the most up-to-date location, as NPC spawns can sometimes vary or change with weekly updates.
Once you find Captain Jones, simply interacting and talking to him will complete the quest, rewarding you with a substantial 20,000 XP. This XP boost is a significant help in progressing through your Chapter 5 Season 4 Battle Pass and unlocking various rewards.
Beyond the quest, Captain Jones also offers a selection of valuable items in exchange for gold bars. Here’s a list of what he currently sells:
- Captain America’s shield: 300 gold bars
- Monarch Pistol: 300 gold bars
- Patch up (medkit): 100 gold bars
If you have spare gold, both Captain America’s shield and the Monarch Pistol are highly recommended purchases. Captain America’s shield offers excellent defensive capabilities, while the Epic version of the Monarch Pistol, equipped with a scope, is a formidable weapon for mid to long-range engagements. It stands as one of the better pistols available in Fortnite, second only to the Mythic Doctor Doom’s Monarch Pistol.
Unfortunately, Captain Jones cannot be recruited as a character to join your squad. If you’re seeking an NPC companion, you’ll need to look elsewhere on the map.
Stay tuned for more Fortnite guides and updates, and explore the latest news on potential collaborations, such as the rumored Sonic The Hedgehog Fortnite collaboration coming soon.
