How to hire a Specialist in Fortnite: All Specialist locations, commands, more

Fortnite introduced Specialists as powerful NPCs who can aid your team in battle with a wide range of specialized skills. Here’s how you can hire a Specialist in Fortnite and command them to visit named locations, attack, defend, revive, and more.

Fortnite has been a top battle royale game for several years and one of the biggest reasons behind it is the game’s dynamic island. You will stumble upon a ton of interactive elements and quest items and every major location has an NPC who patrols the area and offers different types of services to players.

While some NPCs on the Fortnite island will sell you high-quality weapons and consumables for Gold Bars, others are Specialists that can help with scouting, supplies, healing, and explosives.

On that note, let’s learn how to hire a Specialist in Fortnite.
