How to hire Fortnite NPCs in Chapter 4 Season 4: All hireable character locations

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 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 in the battle royale.
You can run into 16 NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 4, 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 4 Season 4 Weekly Quests requires you to hire an NPC in three different matches.
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 5 NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4, 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:
- Nolan Chance – at Frenzy Fields
- Bull Shark – At Creeky Compound
- Royale Bomber – At Brutal Bastion
- Beastmode – At Breakwater Bay
- Sun Strider – South of Eclipsed State

Most of these characters will also provide you with useful items, like ammo or healing items. Do note that you’ll need to complete all of Nolan Chance’s Snapshot Quests to make him hireable in the game.
How to hire a Fortnite NPC
Now that you’ve decided which character you wish to recruit, you’ll need to visit their locations and simply approach the NPC in order to hire them. This won’t be cheap, as hiring them will cost you between 100 and 200 Gold Bars.
Here’s how to hire NPCs in Fortnite:
- Approach the NPC.
- Interact to begin dialogue.
- Select ‘Hire NPC’ on the right side of the dialogue wheel.
- The NPC will now follow and fight for you.
That covers everything you need to know about hiring NPCs in Fortnite. Simply recruit one in three different matches in order to complete Chapter 4 Season 4’s Weekly Quest.
