Henchmen[]
Stark Robots were special Guards in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were introduced during Chapter 2: Season 4.
Description[]
Stark Robots were initially hostile and will shoot at the player if they spot them. When a Stark Robot is knocked down it can be Hacked instead of shaken down. The hacking process takes 3.5 seconds to complete.
Once hacked, they will join your team and follow you until they get eliminated, their hacker gets eliminated, or they get the Victory Royale. You can have no more than 3 Stark Robots hacked at a moment.

- As such, Epic Games removed the Stark Robots from competitive modes until this is patched.
- The unreleased Epic Outfit is known as Stark Auto-Defense Unit on developer accounts.
- When breaking obstacles, the Stark Robots wield the Mark 85 Energy Blade as their Harvesting Tool.
