Another week in Fortnite’s The Simpsons mini-season means a fresh batch of challenges to complete, including the task of hiring characters in different matches, and we’ve got all the details.
Completing quests is one of the quickest ways to progress through the Battle Pass, which is worth focusing on as The Simpsons mini-season comes to an end in just a few weeks.
If you’re on the hunt for characters to hire in Fortnite but don’t know where to look in The Simpsons mini-season, we’ve got all the details you need.
How to Hire Characters in Fortnite x The Simpsons

The steps to hire a character in The Simpsons mini-season in Fortnite are shown below.
- Enter a game of Battle Royale or Zero Build.
- Find a character who is available to hire on the mini-map.
- Head to the character location.
- Interact with the character and select the ‘Hire’ option.
- Pay the required amount of gold.
Hired characters will remain active until you are eliminated, or they have been defeated by another player. Remember, there are only a select number of hireable characters in each match and another player may beat you to it, so it’s advised you head directly to the required NPC on landing.
All Character Hire Locations in Fortnite x The Simpsons
There are three characters available to hire in The Simpsons mini-season in Fortnite, scattered across Springfield Island.
Each has different bonuses due to their Specialist nature, providing a scan of the environment to locate loot and enemy players, providing healing, or providing a ready supply of ammunition.
The three characters are quite spread out on the map, however, so it’s not easy to check each spot if your initial target has already been recruited. This can be countered easily by finding a vehicle, as the map this season is small and is quick to traverse across when driving.
We’ve listed them all below, along with the area where they can be found, with a direct image of their locations shown earlier in the article.
- Sizzle – Corruption Corners
- Major Mancake – Springfield Slurpworks
- Nightshade – Northeast of Kamp Krusty
