Character hires and vendors are back and stronger than ever in Fortnite Chapter Five season two.
Though Fortnite made a big show of the ancient Greek gods, goddesses, and mythic creatures coming in Chapter Five season two, they’re not the only new folk in town. You can find several popular Fortnite skins all over the new POIs of the season two map.
The best part is these characters are not just mere decor; they can either sell goodies or lend a hand on the battlefield. In this guide, I’ll show you how to find every NPC in Fortnite Chapter Five season two.
How to hire characters in Fortnite Chapter Five season two
You can hire some NPCs by interacting with them in Fortnite. On the interaction wheel, look for the option with the character icon and a plus sign to recruit them. Select it twice, pay the price, and you’ll have a new ally on your team.
Each recruited character has a specialty, like healing or scouting chests, but they all fire at enemies within sight. You can command them to follow, move, stop, or revive you with the middle mouse button on PC and the left D-Pad on consoles.
Recruited characters have the handy ability to teleport, eliminating the need to wait for them or shuffle seats in vehicles—although it’s always courteous to make space. However, they’re not immune to storm and enemy damage, so be sure to keep them sheltered.
You can only recruit one NPC at a time. But if you’re playing Duo, Trio, or Squad, each party member can get a plus one.
