Fortnite: How to play with bots
If you want an easy Fortnite game, then you might be wondering how to play against bots. These are a new addition to the game and they help level the playing field a bit for players who are new to the genre or Fortnite in general.
WHAT IS BOTS?
Bots are AI-controlled players that will occasionally be added to your game. They play at a fairly low skill level, so they give new players a chance to get some practice without being eliminated in the first place. Fortnite is a fairly complex game, and if you've never played it, you'll probably be powerless in the early stages of its development. Bots aim to make things a little fairer.
WHY WAS THE BOTS ADDED?
The first reason is to give new players a chance to get an exception and practice in a more realistic scenario. The second reason is that they basically added them as match filler. Epic has introduced a new system that puts players of similar skill levels together. This can result in a low number of live players when they are queuing, so bots will help fill that gap when needed.
HOW TO PLAY AGAINST BOTS
If you are a beginner or not very experienced player, you are probably already playing against bots. They are quite often added to most games where players have an average skill level below average. If you've ever wondered why the player you see only puts up one wall and crouches, it's probably a bot.
If you only want to play against bots, this can be done, but you need to have the Fortnite Creator code in order to do so. They are given out to content creators who have 1000+ followers on at least one major social platform (YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). If you meet these requirements, you just need to apply to join the system and you will receive a response relatively quickly. Once you have the code, go to the area where you choose what type of match you want and look for the custom options button:
Click on this button and you will be given the option to add a key.
Once you've entered the key, click Accept and the type of game you want. You can get into the game! Select We don't want any additional players and click Start Match. Everyone, you are against bots!
If you don't have a Creator Code, you can always ask a friend who has one for one.
