While Fortnite Battle Royale is a competitive game on the surface where real players go against each other, it can also become a battleground for NPCs. From Scouts to Medical Specialists, there are a number of characters on the island who can help you in Chapter 5 Season 2; below I have detailed the best ones.
Who are the best specialists (NPC) to hire in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2?
Myths & Mortals brought many new characters to the island. So far, players in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 have enjoyed meeting the likes of Zeus, Aphrodite and others from Greek myth. However, there were also some familiar faces on the roster.
NPCs that can be hired as teammates specialize in one thing or another. For example, medical specialists help you heal while heavy specialists help you be aggressive in battle. Here are the ones you should employ when playing a match in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
Artemis, the Scout Specialist
Artemis is easy the best NPC to hire at Lavish Cave in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. As a Scouting Specialist, she makes sure that your environment feels safe from opponents who would like to give you hopping worries. Periodically, she scans the map to reveal anyone who may be lurking behind corners.
A good trick is to point to a location (even if it’s up to 150 meters away) and hold your ping button. Then, simply tell her to move in that direction. That way, Artemis will let you know if there’s anyone around. She’s even good with long-range attacks, so don’t be surprised if she steals your kill every now and then.
Aphrodite, the Medical Specialist
Stories of Aphodite taught us about the ways in which she affects the heart. In Fortnite, she shares a similar story where she will help you in battle. She is a Medical Specialist at Beautiful Residencewhich means she sometimes gives you small bursts of healing and throws bandages/medkits at you.
The best way to use her help is to make sure you don’t use all of your inventory slots. Instead, just keep one slot open for shields (small shields do the job) and rely on Aphrodite to keep you healed. That way you can use the rest of your charge for more important items like the Mythic Waterbending.
Poseidon, the Weight Specialist
Think of a Weight Specialist as that “muscle friend” you have that will literally take a bullet for you. At Reckless Railways, you can find Poseidon chilling around. Once you hire him, he becomes an ally that will chuck grenades at your enemies and take damage (protecting you) immediately.
The best way to use Poseidon’s help in battle is to make sure you follow a strategy for an attack that is not sneaky or overly calculating. Aggressive play is what will win you a 1v1 here, and Poseidon adds to the chaos of it all.
