How to hire Fortnite NPCs in Chapter 3, Season 1

Fortnite Chapter 3 features a variety of different characters that you can visit around the island, so here’s the location of each recruitable NPC and how to hire them.

You can run into 22 NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1, with each character serving a different function like revealing future Storm Circles in exchange for Gold Bars or selling healing items.

Some of these characters can also be recruited for the right price, and one of the Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 Foundation Quests requires you to hire an NPC and travel 1000 meters with them.

Here’s the location of each hireable NPC in Fortnite along with how to recruit them.

Which Fortnite NPCs can you hire?

You can only hire 6 NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1, and the character that you choose will follow you everywhere you go on the Island while fighting off any enemy players that decide to attack you.

Here are all the NPCs you can hire and their locations:

• Agent Jones – Spawns at a random Seven Outpost each match.
• Brainiac – In the central building at The Joneses.
• Galactico – At the football pitch in Tilted Towers.
• Jonesy the First – At the northern side of The Joneses.
• Lt. John Llama – Inside a cabin northeast of Covert Cavern.
• The Visitor – Near the Launchpad east of Sanctuary.

Some of these characters are more reliable picks than others, with Galactico spawning consistently in the loot-filled Tilted Towers while Agent Jones spawns completely at random in each match.
