Where to find a specialist in Fortnite

The first thing you need to do is find a specialist. In Chapter 4 Season 2, you’ll find eight hired specialists throughout the map. They are located in specific spots that don’t change for the entirety of this season.

There are four categories of specialists:

  • Scout
  • Heavy
  • Medic
  • Supply

Each of these categories of specialists have different skills so you will need to pick the one that will help you with the exact tasks you need completed. Once you select one specialist, head to them on the map. Remember to have between 200 and 250 gold bars ready to hire them when you arrive.

Here is where to find each specialist:

  • Garrison: At Watery Watch in the southwest corner of the map
  • Longshot: At Royal Ruin, west of The Citadel
  • Polar Patroller: By the frozen lake west of Brutal Bastion
