Understanding the Character System

Fortnite's character system is unlike traditional RPGs; there are no classes or roles. Instead, cosmetic items, primarily "skins," alter your character's visual appearance without affecting gameplay. This allows for extensive personalization, particularly with skins from collaborations (e.g., Marvel, Star Wars).

Modifying Your Character's Appearance

Follow these steps to change your character's look:

  1. Access the Locker: Open the "Locker" tab (usually located at the top of the screen). This houses all your acquired cosmetic items.
  2. Select a Skin: Choose a skin from the first slot in the Locker. A dropdown menu displays all available skins.
  3. Style Selection: Many skins offer style variations (different colors, designs). Select your preferred style.
  4. Apply Changes: Save and exit the menu to apply the chosen skin. If you own no skins, a default skin will be assigned. A late 2024 update allows default skin selection within the Locker.

Changing Gender

Character gender in Fortnite is determined by the selected skin. Each skin has a fixed gender; it cannot be altered independently unless style variations within a skin offer gender options. To change your character's gender, select a skin representing the desired gender. Purchase skins from the Item Shop (using V-Bucks) if needed. The Item Shop refreshes daily.

Acquiring New Items

Expand your cosmetic collection through:

  • Item Shop: Purchase skins and items using V-Bucks.
  • Battle Pass: Unlock exclusive items by leveling up during a season.
  • Events and Promotions: Participate in events and challenges to earn unique rewards.

Footwear

Introduced in November 2024, "Kicks" allow you to equip stylish footwear from real-world brands (Nike, etc.) or Fortnite-exclusive designs. Access footwear options in the Locker, but note compatibility with outfits. Use the "Shoe Preview" function before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Utilizing Other Cosmetic Items

Beyond skins, personalize your character with:

  • Pickaxes: Various designs and effects.
  • Back Blings: Decorative back accessories.
  • Contrails: Effects during gliding.

Customize these items in the Locker using the same process as skin selection.
