Diablo 2 Resurrected is a very unforgiving game as you progress further into your campaign. So to compensate for its punishing nature, the game allows the players to hire various mercenaries as companions to help them with their campaign. To hire a mercenary in Diablo 2 Resurrected, you must contact any mercenary contractors according to your ACT and pay a fee in gold for the reporting mercenary.
Before hiring a mercenary, you must know all the NPC who will sell a mercenary to you. There are different contractors in each ACT, and you must contact them according to your current ACT.
| ACT | Name | Group | Requirement |
| ACT - I | Kashya | Rogue Encampment | Raven Blood Quest |
| ACT - II | Greiz | Desert Mercenaries | None |
| ACT - III | Asheara | Iron Wolves | None |
| ACT - IV | Tyrael (only resurrect) | - | None |
| ACT - V | Qual-Kehk | Barbarians | Rescue on Mount Arreat |
