In Fortnite, you can’t directly change your character in the sense of switching to a completely different person. However, you can customize the look of your character by using different skins. Here’s how to do it:
Requirements:
- You need to have at least one character skin available in your locker. You can earn some skins for free by completing challenges or leveling up your Battle Pass, but most skins require purchasing them with V-Bucks (Fortnite’s in-game currency).
Steps:
-
Launch Fortnite: Open the game on your preferred platform (PC, console, mobile).
-
Go to Locker: Look for the “Locker” tab in the main menu. It’s usually located at the top of the screen. Click on it.
-
Select Outfit: You’ll see various icons representing different aspects of your character’s appearance. The first icon (usually a shirt or figure) represents the outfit, which includes the overall character skin. Click on this icon.
-
Choose Your Skin: Here you’ll see all the character skins you currently own. Select the one you want to use for your next match.
-
Equip (Optional): If the chosen skin has selectable styles (like different color variations), you might see an “Edit Style” option. Otherwise, you can directly equip the chosen skin.
-
Back to Lobby: Once you’ve selected your desired character skin, navigate back to the lobby using the designated button (usually indicated at the bottom of the screen).
Now, you’ll see your chosen character skin reflected in the lobby and during your next Fortnite match!
Here are some additional points to remember:
- New skins are frequently added to the Fortnite Item Shop. You can purchase them using V-Bucks.
- Some skins might react differently to emotes (character actions) or have unique animations.
I hope this helps you customize your character in Fortnite!
