As a Fortnite veteran with years of tracking updates and item shop rotations, I've seen countless bundles come and go. Epic Games added the Henchman Bundle to the Item Shop, bringing fresh cosmetics for Battle Royale enthusiasts. These decorative items offer no gameplay advantages but let you stand out on the island. Here's everything you need to know about snagging the Fortnite Henchman Pack, now available in the shop.

Henchmen are AI-controlled guards patrolling key locations like The Shark, The Cave, The Rig, The Yacht, The Agency, The Tomato Temple (not Tortilla), The Authority, Catty Corner, Doom's Domain, Stark Industries, Quinjet Patrol Sites, The Ruins, Craggy Cliffs (not Corny Complex?), and Holly Hatchery. With the v17.20 update, data miners uncovered leaked skins, bundles, and cosmetics, building hype for Season 7.
Standard henchmen pack 100 HP and 50-150 shields. Knocking one down activates a scan revealing nearby henchmen (arrow markers), security devices (eye markers), chests (chest markers), and downed foes (crown markers). Bosses function similarly but wield location-specific mythic weapons and boast higher health/shields.
Henchmen and bosses can revive downed allies in 10 seconds, just like players—revived ones return with 30 HP and no shields. Spot them, and they'll chase and shoot relentlessly. Approach armed and ready. Being disguised lets you access scan-locked doors and henchman chests; alternatively, scan a knocked henchman to open them.
The Henchmen Duo featured rival GHOST and SHADOW henchmen who became allies post-Chapter 2 Season 3. Island henchmen share similar looks, differentiated by faction outfits. They attack on sight, so grab a weapon fast to defend yourself.
