Henchmen

Henchmen (Guards, Patrols, etc.) are AIs in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They are tasked by a certain organization/faction and can be found patrolling around the island or guarding certain locations on the map. They may be protect a.

Skills and Behavior
Most henchmen will attack players on sight, but some will only become hostile after their boss is attacked by a player. Alternatively, blocking or shooting neutral henchmen will cause them to hostilize against the player. Shooting them from afar will also cause a henchman to move to its alert stage.

Henchmen typically have 100 HP and 50-150 shields. When you knock one down, you'll be able to initiate a Shakedown, which scans and locates nearby henchmen with an arrow marker, security devices with an eye marker, chests with a chest marker, and bosses with a crown marker. Bosses act like henchmen, but they have a location-specific mythic weapon and noticeably more shields/health. Henchmen and bosses can revive other henchmen and bosses that have been knocked down, this will take 10 seconds, just like a player reviving another player (revived henchmen have 30 HP and no shield).

During the beginning of Chapter 2, you were able to disguise yourself as a henchman in a Disguise Booth to avoid being detected, but if you'd bump into a Henchman or deal or receive any damage, your disguise will dissipate. Being in a Disguise allows you to open Scan Doors and open Henchmen Chests, and allows you to safely cross in front of Sentinel cameras and turrets. Carrying a henchman to a Scan Door or Faction Chest will also allow you to open them.
