Where to hire a character in Fortnite: Full list of every NPC available for hire

Like every other battle royale title, Fortnite also tasks players with eliminating their opponents and emerging as the last one standing.

During the later stages of a match, having a teammate or an assistant always comes in handy. Even though duos, trios, and squad mode allow the option, in solo mode, gamers are practically alone.

As allies, players can hire some of the NPCs present in Chapter 3 Season 1. Apart from sticking by the player's side and protecting them, the NPCs will also help in completing a mission. Here's a look at all the spawn locations of the NPCs available for hire in-game.

Hiring NPCs in Fortnite is quite easy. First, gamers will have to decide which NPC they want to visit in the game.
