Fortnite Guide – How to give a hired Specialist a command

There are 8 Fortnite characters classified as Specialists, and their locations are shown on the map below.An indicator appears on your minimap and is projected on screen as you approach a Specialist to help you locate them. When you get close, you’ll get the Hire prompt, which you can follow to pay 250 bars for their services and have them join your team. Keep in mind that you’ll need to find a new Specialist if someone else has already hired or eliminated the one you wanted.

In Fortnite, all you have to do to give a hired Specialist an command is hold left on the d-pad to bring up the Follower Comms wheel. Once that is open, you can choose one of the four options shown on the screen above, which are highlighted:

  • Wait – Specialist will stay in their current position
  • Move – Specialist will immediately run to the targeted position
  • Follow – Specialist will follow you (default behaviour)
  • Revive – Specialist will revive a downed teammate (where available)

If you select any of those for the first time, you will complete the ‘Give a hired Specialist Character a command’ quest. The most effective Fortnite command to issue is usually Move, as this allows you to send your Specialist on a scouting mission, where any enemies they come across will likely open fire, exposing their position and distracting them while you sneak in for a surprise attack.

This concludes our Fortnite guide on how to give a command to a hired Specialist.
