How to get bot lobbies in Fortnite in 2024

There are a few methods, but you may still encounter real players.

Sometimes, you just want to relax in Fortnite without seeing skyscrapers built after a single shot. One of the ways to do that is by getting into bot lobbies, so here’s every way you can get bot lobbies in Fortnite in 2024.

Almost every Fortnite match contains a few bots, and while these methods can increase the number of bots you face, you may still encounter real players.

How to get bot lobbies in Fortnite

Create a new account

The easiest way to get bot lobbies in Fortnite is by creating a new account. Since the game doesn’t know the skill level of the new account, it throws it into bot or low-skill lobbies. Unfortunately, it means you have to leave your locker with an extensive skin collection behind.

Here’s how to create a new Fortnite account:

  1. Launch Epic Games Store.
  2. Select Create account or sign in using a new Gmail, Steam, Xbox, or other accounts.
  3. Fill out your information and launch Fortnite.

Keep in mind that as you play, the account will level up, and the game will start putting you against real players, depending on your performance. This can work for a couple of games after creating a new account, but you might soon end up back in real lobbies.

Party up with a new player

To play in bot lobbies on your main account, you can queue up with a new account in the party. It can be either your friend who’s new to the game or your other account on a different device. If you’re using an alt account, make sure it leaves the match after loading in so it doesn’t level up. This puts you at a man disadvantage when facing other teams, but it’s bot lobbies anyway.

Here’s how to queue up with a new account:

  1. Set your game to any mode want to play.
  2. Add the new account to your friends list.
  3. Invite the low-level account to your lobby.
  4. Queue up and enjoy the bot lobby.
bot services:

There are bot services you can use to invite bots into the lobby and queue up. However, Epic Games actively shuts down those services, so use them at your own risk.

Downrank in Ranked

Another way to get bot lobbies in Fortnite is to downrank in Ranked game modes. Most games at Bronze are either bot lobbies or very low-skill. Try to lose games or perform poorly in placement matches to end up in low ranks.

To queue up for a Ranked game:

  1. Go to the Play menu and select Battle Royale or Zero Build.
  2. In mode settings, toggle Ranked.
  3. Load up and enjoy the bot lobby.

Keep in mind that as you win, you’ll rank up, which will put you against real and more skilled players. You must consistently lose games and keep your rank low if you want to stay in bot lobbies. There’s also a risk of running into players who do the same thing as you.

Try out Creative maps

Creative maps in Fortnite are usually a competition-free experience and a good way to earn XP for the battle pass. There are multiple multiplayer maps you can find on the home page of Fortnite and by browsing online. You may wind up playing against real players sometimes, though.

Here’s how to play a Creative map in Fortnite:

  1. Find the desired Creative map in Fortnite.
  2. Load into the Creative mode.
  3. Interact with the Rift terminal.
  4. Copy and paste the 12-digit map code.
  5. Enter the Rift.

Whether you’re a new player or a seasoned veteran, there are ways to get into bot lobbies in Fortnite. Whether it’s an alt account or a Creative map, the choice is yours. So go forth, practice your skills, and dominate the competition!
