Did you know that players can encounter a variety of intriguing NPCs throughout the Battle Royale map in Fortnite? One of these NPCs, Shuri, will react differently if spoken to while wearing a certain outfit.
The introduction of the Absolute Doom event in Chapter 5 Season 4 of Fortnite also included the arrival of several well-known Marvel-themed NPCs, including Captain Jones, Gwenpool, and the new Black Panther, Shuri.
Usually, Shuri can be found near the Nitrodome where players can speak to her. She discusses her desire to defeat Doctor Doom and gives players the option to buy the Black Panther Claws. However, Shuri responds differently if players are wearing T’Challa’s skin.
If you happen to be one of the fortunate fans in possession of this skin, consider striking up a conversation with Shuri.
Sharing has special dialogue for seeing T’Challa! byu/AStealthyPerson inFortNiteBR
A Reddit user shared a post detailing a special interaction with an NPC while donning the T’Challa Black Panther skin. The NPC, Shuri, greets the player by name and expresses joy at seeing them, saying “T’Challa! It is a pleasure to see you, my brother.”
Interestingly, Epic Games has a history of incorporating secret NPC interactions into their Battle Royale game, as they had previously done so with the Midas skin in 2024.
Fans in the comments were delighted by this hidden exchange. One comment pointed out that moments like this were more enjoyable than anything else shown this season.
Some described the conversation as “heartwarming”and “bittersweet,”given the passing of Chadwick Boseman, the actor who portrayed T’Challa in the MCU, in 2020 and its impact on the relationship between the two siblings in the upcoming sequel to the Black Panther movie.
The person who first posted the content expressed their appreciation for the use of the Wakanda Forever emote, which was being performed by Shuri. Despite not being visible in the photo, the player was also participating in the emote.
In every new season, it is always enjoyable to uncover the easter eggs and hidden secrets present in Fortnite.
