Fortnite's Spring Breakout Event has introduced a series of challenges to the game that revolve around hiring and giving commands to specialist characters that were recently added.
While hiring specialists in Fortnite is easy, giving them a command is an entirely different story. Keep reading our guide as we explain how to give a command to a hired specialist while sharing details on their location and how you can hire them during a match.
How do you give a hired specialist a command?
You can give a command to a hired specialist using the Follower Comms menu that you can access by pressing and holding the mid-mouse button on your PC or the left D-Pad on PlayStation and Xbox.
Doing so will open up the Follower Comms menu that you can use to command the hired specialist. The commands that you can give to a hired specialist include the following:
- Move
- Wait
- Follow
- Revive
Keep in mind if you press the buttons before hiring a specialist, you will open the normal Squad Comms.
