How to Hire a Character in Fortnite

We’re cruising through Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1, and we have a few Foundations Quests to knock out this week. One of these quests is hiring a character and traveling 1,000 meters with them. The tough part for some players may be knowing exactly where this can be done. There are only so many characters you can potentially hire, after all. In this guide, we will explain how to hire characters in Fortnite.

How to Hire a Character in Fortnite

To hire a character in Fortnite, players will need to visit any of the suitable NPCs around the map and give them 95 Gold Bars. Not every NPC has this option available, so you will need to know which specific ones to visit.

All Characters for Hire in Fortnite (Chapter 3, Season 1)

The potential characters available for hire are as follows:

• Agent Jones
• Brainiac
• Cuddlepool
• Galactico
• Jonesy the First
• Shanta

All you need to do to hire any of these characters is visit their location on the map, speak with them, and then exchange 95 Gold Bars to recruit them. After hiring an NPC, they will follow you around with a weapon in hand. It’s useful to know that the NPCs aren’t the quickest bunch, so they may trail behind you a bit.

To complete the weekly challenge, you will need to keep them alive. Luckily, you can complete these challenges over a few matches. That means you won’t have to worry about knocking it out all in one match in the unfortunate event that an enemy takes out your recruit.

There you have it, that’s how to hire a character and travel 1,000 meters with them in Fortnite. Feel free to use the map above for reference if you’re not sure where to find characters that you can hire in Fortnite.
