How To Unlock Mercenary In Diablo 4 Season 6?
Mercenaries will be located in the mercenary Den, which will be in one of the game's DLC areas. If you do not own the DLC that contains the mercenary Den, you will not have access to mercenaries at all. To recruit a primary and secondary mercenary, you need to go to the mercenary Den in the DLC area. Your primary mercenary will automatically join your party when solo to serve as your main combat companion.
Your secondary mercenary provides supplemental support under specific "opportunity" circumstances, such as when using certain skills or getting crowd controlled. You build rapport with your mercenaries by having them in your party and getting kills/completing activities with them. This gives you upgrades and a currency called pale marks. Pale marks can be used to purchase D4 gear and currencies from mercenaries via a bartering system inside the mercenary Den.
