Understanding Fortnite's Character System

Unlike games with rigid class systems, Fortnite offers a vast array of cosmetic items—skins—that purely alter your character's visual appearance. Gameplay remains unaffected. These skins, particularly those from collaborations (Marvel, Star Wars, etc.), allow for significant personalization and battlefield flair.

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 acquired cosmetic items.
2. Skin Selection: Click the first slot (leftmost) to access the skin selection menu. Choose from your available skins.
3. Style Variations: Many skins offer style variations, allowing for color changes or complete appearance alterations.
4. Apply Changes: Save and exit the menu to apply your chosen skin. If you lack purchased skins, a random default skin will be assigned. A recent update (late 2024) allows default skin selection within the Locker.

Gender Selection

Your character's gender is inherent to the chosen skin. Unless a skin offers style variations with gender options, the gender is fixed. To change gender, select a skin representing your desired gender. Purchase skins from the Item Shop (using V-Bucks) if needed; the shop updates daily with diverse options.

Footwear Customization

Introduced in November 2024, "Kicks" allow footwear customization. Select compatible shoes in the Locker. Note: Not all outfits support this feature, but compatibility is expanding. Use the "Shoe Preview" to check compatibility before purchasing.

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 in the Locker using similar methods to skin selection. Enjoy the extensive customization options to create a truly unique in-game persona!
