Fortnite update: How to hire Mandalorians and unlock their full potential
Image via Epic Games 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. — Fortnite (@Fortnite) 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Entrevista exclusiva: a verdade sobre o magnésio que ninguém te contou AlwaysFit Undo 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.

As part of its Galactic Battle season, the game is adding a new Mandalorian skin bundle to its collection on May 22, 2025, marking the return of the beloved bounty hunter Din Djarin - better known as the Mandalorian. First seen in Fortnite nearly four years ago, the character is back with upgraded features and several customization options, much to the delight of fans. The release coincides with the Mandalorian Rising update, which also brings gameplay tweaks and new items, including a jetpack designed in true Star Wars fashion. When and where to get the Mandalorian skin in Fortnite According to official leakers @Loolo_WRLD and @SpushFNBR, the new Mandalorian Warrior skin will arrive in Fortnite's Item Shop on Thursday, May 22 at 8 PM ET, which is 5:30 AM IST on May 23 for players in India. It will be part of the Champions of Mandalore bundle and is expected to appear prominently in the Featured section of the shop. Players can either purchase the full bundle or buy items individually, depending on their preference and budget. What's inside the bundle? The Mandalorian bundle includes a range of cosmetics and style edits that give fans several ways to personalise their in-game appearance. Here's what the set contains: Mandalorian Warrior Outfit - 1,800 V-Bucks Cape Back Bling - 400 V-Bucks Vibrodagger & Personal Shield Pickaxe - 800 V-Bucks Beskar Forge Emote - 300 V-Bucks Whistling Bird Salute Emote - 300 V-Bucks For Mandalore Weapon Wrap - 500 V-Bucks The complete bundle is priced at 2,500 V-Bucks (approx ₹1,500), making it more affordable than buying each item separately. Apart from cosmetics, the update brings tactical advantages. Players will have access to the Mandalorian Jetpack, ideal for those preferring aerial combat and ranged attacks over close-quarter lightsaber battles. The update may also allow players to recruit Mandalorians as AI squad members, further deepening in-game strategy. With its mix of nostalgia, visual upgrades, and gameplay impact, the Mandalorian skin bundle promises to be one of the biggest highlights of Fortnite's ongoing Star Wars celebration. Beyond just cosmetic appeal, it offers players a more immersive experience - complete with customisable armor, exclusive emotes, and a distinct Star Wars vibe that blends seamlessly with Fortnite's vibrant universe. The addition of the jetpack opens up new tactical possibilities, especially for players who prefer vertical movement and long-range combat.

'Mandalorians In Malaysia' Uncovers Malaysia's Hidden Spots In The Most Star Wars Way Possible
'May the 4th be with you', as all Star Wars fans are chanting worldwide! The official Star Wars Day comes to a close this week (4th May 2025), and dedicated fans have lived up to the day. With tribute posts and cosplays, Instagram and Twitter were riddled with the 4th of May references, but these Mandalorian fans have taken it a step further. Meet Mandalorians in Malaysia, your newest unconventional travel guides to Malaysia's hidden gems, conquering the scene in Mandalorian fashion. One look at their postings on Instagram will give you an insight into their unique selling point; their character cameos in each post directed from their point of view. Launched in 2024 by Shoon and his team, the page is dedicated to their shared love of Malaysia. As explained in the captions of the first post, 'It all started from our love of Malaysia, and how we wanted to share that love of our country and its many hidden gems with our friends and family. We hope to bring you that with this platform, but with a twist'. Each post is beautifully crafted and photographed in a movie-like scene featuring the stellar scenery of Malaysia's hidden gems, such as 'Pantai Mek Mas' in Kota Bahru and the Algontory Stable located in Jeram. Working with a team of 8 and himself, the 'Malaysian Mandalorians' track through lush forests and, of course, hot sun with full costumes. Aside from showcasing each place, the team also provides information on how to access these hidden, uncharted spots for others to come and experience as well. Highlighting their most iconic scene at 'Pantai Mek Mas', Shoon says, 'The journey there was an experience itself, but spotting the great sand dune upon arrival as it slowly got taller and taller really was… eye-opening'. Fans of the account who meet Shoon and his team during conventions often remark on the authenticity of each shot, linking it to either AI or a green screen, where a dive into the account will prove them wrong, as most posts are accompanied by a reel of the team going on the expedition. In true Mandalorian fashion, Mandalorians in Malaysia definitely showed us that 'This is the way' to experience and discover what our country has in store for us right under our noses!
