For they not only sell some items that you normally find less often, but they can also become your little partners, with which you’ll be able to distract your enemies if you want.

You can hire these characters in both single player and squad mode. You can find all the characters and their places in Chapter 3 Season 4, which ends with the Fracture Event, at the end of the article.

But first, let’s talk about how you’ll get along with these characters, who put themselves on the line for your victory (and for some money, too).

How to Hire a NPC in Fortnite

In Fortnite, gold bars that can be collected during the game are used to hire characters. The value for hiring NPCs is fixed and is 100 gold bars for all of them.

You can find these gold bars easily, just pay attention to the cash registers, safes and chests. Once you’ve enough gold bars, go to one of these characters and interact with her/him.

In the menu that opens, you can simply select the “Hire” option and hire a faithful companion for 100 gold bars.

None of the hireable characters are strong enough to kill other players on their own. But it’s also true that all of them can be extremely confusing if used correctly.

You’ll have the possibility to make your deadly move while other players shoot at these characters that are walking around the map.

All Characters You Can Hire in Fortnite

Since it’s been a long time since NPCs were added to Fortnite, almost all players are familiar with these characters by now. There are a total of 9 NPCs that you can hire in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4.

Before you hire these characters, you can shop with all of them and buy a few items that they sell.

There are many more NPCs on the Fortnite map than these nine, but not all of them can be hired. So make sure you go to the locations below and interact with the right characters.

Here are all the characters you can hire in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 and their locations:

  • Kit: A cat in Reality Forest. It doesn’t spawn in every round.
  • Meowscles: A cat in Reality Forest. It doesn’t spawn in every round.
  • Cryptic: A suspicious-looking man in Rave Cave.
  • Stash’d: A masked man in Chonkers Speedway.
  • Fishstick: A fish-man in Sleepy Sound.
  • Four Jonesy: Jonesy the First, Bunker Jonesy, Castaway Jonesy and Relaxed Fit Jonesy in Fort Jonesy.

Other players like you may also want to hire these characters. Therefore, you should be careful when approaching the above areas.

As you can imagine, an NPC who’s been hired by someone else cannot be hired again for that round.

That’s all we shared about how to hire a character in Fortnite for now. Even though the help of these NPCs isn’t essential for victory, sometimes it can be a lot of fun to use them.

Especially when you play with your friends.
