Fortnite, one of the most popular battle royale games, assigns players with random characters each time they log into the game or enter a battle. This means that players may be assigned a male or female character and they cannot change it through the main lobby. However, there are ways to customize your character’s gender in Fortnite and this guide will walk you through the process.
It’s important to note that this method only applies to players who have not purchased a battle pass or any character skins from the in-game shop. For those players, Fortnite will randomly assign one of the eight default characters available, with an equal chance of getting a male or female character in each new game.
To change the gender of your character in Fortnite, follow these steps:
- Open the main menu of Fortnite and navigate to the “Locker” section. You can find it next to the item shop, represented by a small hanger icon.
- Select the current character by tapping on it. You will see a skin board selection available.
- In the skin board, you can change the appearance of your character by selecting a different skin. You can choose from the skins you have purchased or earned throughout the game. Once you’ve selected a skin, tap on the character to save the changes.
If you wish to purchase more skins for your character, you can visit the in-game Item Shop. Skins in Fortnite can be quite expensive, with a new character skin costing around 800 V-Bucks. However, it’s worth considering the Battle Pass option, which costs 950 V-Bucks. The Battle Pass offers additional skins, emotes, XP boosts and new challenges, making it a more worthwhile investment in the long run.
Before making any purchases, it’s recommended to consider the benefits of the Battle Pass over individual skins. The Battle Pass provides a range of rewards and benefits throughout the season and players who have purchased it once can progress through it’s levels to earn more V-Bucks for future purchases. This allows players to save real money and use in-game currency instead.
To access the Item Shop and make in-app purchases, make sure to enable in-app purchase settings in Fortnite.
By following these steps, you can customize the gender of your character in Fortnite and choose the appearance that suits your preference. Remember to consider the value and benefits of the Battle Pass before purchasing individual skins, as it offers a more comprehensive package of rewards.
