Okay, so, Fortnite, right? It’s been huge these last few years, and I’ve been hooked. But I got bored looking at the same old character all the time. I wanted a change, specifically, I wanted to switch up my character’s gender. Figured it’d be a simple setting, but boy, was I wrong.
I started by firing up the game on my PC. “There’s gotta be a gender option somewhere,” I thought. I dug through every menu I could find, but nope, nothing. That’s when I realized Fortnite doesn’t actually let you directly pick a gender for your character.
So, I did what any reasonable person would do: I hit up the internet. Turns out, the gender of your Fortnite character is tied to the skin you’re using. It’s not about changing a setting; it’s about changing your entire outfit, basically. Each skin has a set gender, and that’s that.
Armed with this new knowledge, I went back into the game. This time, I headed straight for the Item Shop and my Locker. I already had a bunch of skins from playing so much, but I never really paid attention to their genders. Now, I was specifically looking for female skins since I currently had a male one equipped.
- Browsed through the Item Shop, saw a cool-looking female skin, and snapped it up.
- Then, I jumped into my Locker.
- Found the new skin I just bought.
- Equipped it.
And bam! Just like that, my character was now female. It wasn’t about flipping a switch in the settings; it was all about choosing the right skin. Feels a bit weird that you can’t just choose a gender upfront, but hey, it is what it is. Now I can switch between male and female characters anytime I want, just by changing skins. Pretty neat, once you figure it out.
Conclusion
So, if you’re like me and you want to change your character’s gender in Fortnite, remember: it’s all about the skins. Find a skin you like that represents the gender you want, buy it or unlock it, equip it, and you’re good to go. Happy gaming!
