How to hire NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

A new season is live in Fortnite, which means new NPCs can be found across the map. For Season 2, we have both gods and mortals lingering around waiting to be hired, so here’s how you can team up with them as well as their locations. 

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is here, and it brought all the usual features you’d expect—a new battle pass, POIs, NPCs, and much more. Since it’s themed after Greek mythology, Epic Games also introduced amazing mythical powers and weapons.

Of course other players can use them too, which may make netting a victory a little harder in Fortnite this season. However, there’s a new batch of NPCs at your disposal, which can provide you with much-needed aid in the match.

All that said, here’s everything you need to know to hire NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.

How to hire a Fortnite NPC

To hire NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 you just need to approach and interact with them, and they’ll request up to 250 Gold Bars for their services. You can do it by following these simple steps:

1. Approach the NPC.
2. Interact to begin a dialogue.
3. Select ‘Hire NPC’ on the right side of the dialogue wheel.
4. The NPC will now follow and fight for you. Some might also mark useful items, provide ammo, or heal you during the match.

Keep in mind that you can give different commands to NPCs while you travel through the island. You can make them follow you, scout an area, revive you, and more.
