Hire a Character in Fortnite and Complete the Foundation Quests: Here’s How

Source: Epic Games

The new Foundation Quests challenge players to hire a character in Fortnite Chapter 3 and earn some cool rewards.

If you’re wondering how you can do that, we’ve compiled a list of everything you should know, including a map where you can find hireable NPCs. All the locations are pretty easy to find, so you won’t have to search for too much.

Here is what you need to know.

All the Hireable NPCs in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1

Currently, there are only six NPCs that you can hire and complete the Foundation Quests. Check out all the characters and the locations where you can find them:

  • Agent Jones – at a random Seven Outpost every match
  • The Visitor – Close to the Launchpad east of Sanctuary
  • Brainiac – Situated in the central building ar The Joneses
  • Lt. John Llama – Inside a cabin northeast of Covert Canyon
  • Jonesy the First – At the northern part of The Joneses
  • Galactico – On the football pitch at Tilted Towers

These NPCs are now available to hire, but they sometimes change the services they offer. But that shouldn’t be an issue. For example, Shanta is now offering to duel, but initially, the NPC didn’t.

TIP: stay away from Agen Jones because he spawns at a random Seven outpost every match!

Galactico is a friendly NPC that could be your perfect choice because Tilted Towers is filled with incredible loot.

How to Hire an NPC?

Finding a hireable NPC is relatively easy, but there are a few stuff you should know first. For example, hiring an NPC isn’t free. You actually need to spend some sweet Gold Bars (Galactico is 95 Gold Bars).

Get your favorite hireable NPC, press the interact button and start to talk with it. Select the Hire or the Recruit option and select it again to confirm.

And that’s all!

The hired NPC will follow you everywhere, which is quite cool. The character will help you defeat enemy players, but they can also give away your location (that’s such a shame, right?).
