Fortnite update: How to hire Mandalorians and unlock their full potential
Fortnite's ever-evolving universe has added a galactic twist with the arrival of four Mandalorian NPCs on the island. As part of the ongoing Star Wars crossover, players can now hire these Mandalorians to gain powerful allies during matches.
But before they'll join your side, a quick set of quests must be completed.
Unlike regular NPCs, you can't hire Mandalorians immediately. Players must first complete the Mandalorian Found Quests, which involve visiting Imperial Outposts scattered across the map. These outposts house terminals that provide the intel needed to unlock each Mandalorian's services.

Once you collect three pieces of intel and return to any Mandalorian, you'll unlock the ability to recruit them in future matches - for 250 gold bars.
But be warned: hiring one of these warriors will dismiss any other follower you may have.
Where to find each Mandalorian in Fortnite
There are four types of Mandalorian followers, each with a different specialization. Their services and items offer tactical advantages depending on your playstyle.
1. Heavy Mandalorian
Location:
North of Shining Span
Services:
Heavy Specialist; sells Thermal Imploder (600 gold bars)
A reliable offensive partner, this Mandalorian excels at explosive support.

2. Medic Mandalorian
Location:
West of Outlaw Oasis
Services:
Medic Specialist; sells Shield Bubble Jr (120 gold bars)
Ideal for defensive players, the Medic regularly uses Chug Splash to restore your health and shields mid-battle.
3. Scout Mandalorian
Location:
Northeast of Canyon Crossing
Services:
Scout Specialist (limited services for now)
Although their sniper rifle and storm circle reveal features are currently locked, Scouts can still mark enemies and chests.
4. Supply Mandalorian
Location:
Near First Order Outpost, northeast of Magic Mosses
Services:
Supply Specialist (future access to Jetpacks and Blasters)
These Mandalorians are designed for resource support, helping players gear up faster in early-game scenarios.
With more players hiring followers, Mandalorian companions are changing the Fortnite meta. They provide a valuable edge in both solo and squad matches, especially when outnumbered.
Make sure to buy their gear before hiring, once recruited - they stop selling items.
To complete the Mandalorian experience, Epic Games will also release a customizable Mandalorian skin in the Item Shop on May 22, priced at 1,800 V-Bucks, with a bundle option available.
Whether you're looking to dominate the battlefield or complete your Star Wars collection, this Mandalorian update offers both strategy and style.

Once rejected by the army for being undersized and nearly condemned to pulling tangas after a failed eye operation, he was rescued just in time and went on to become a champion show jumper under Hooda's care. Named after Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaekwar due to his one functional eye, Ranji remained spirited and full of life till the very end. 'He came into my life outta sheer destiny and made my life so much richer,' wrote Hooda. 'He took me flying over many obstacles, sometimes with my eyes shut for fear of it, and won me many medals.' Ranji had battled Laminitis, a painful and often fatal condition in horses, but bounced back multiple times with the support of dedicated grooms and veterinary care. Hooda fondly recalled his companion's mischievous energy, even in his final moments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo 'He still needed two grooms to hold him for a walk… he even tried to jump out of the stable on his last night as if he wanted to fly away.
