How to hire NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2

Every season in Fortnite, you can hire a set of NPCs to help you survive on the island. Here’s a list of all the NPCs that you can collaborate with Chapter 5 Season 2.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 has a fresh roster of NPCs on the island, most of which are a part of the seasonal storyline.

Besides being able to buy weapons and healing items from these NPCs, you can always hire them, provided you’ve got enough gold to spare.

So here’s how you can hire NPCs in Fortnite along with the list of NPCs that you can hire in the game.

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.
