Cosmetics basics

You change your bot by typing the name of a cosmetic in Fortnite party chat. If you are using a public bot that cannot read party chat, send the same message in the chat inside the FNLB App instead.

  • Search is fuzzy, so partial names work. When several cosmetics match, the bot replies with a numbered list and you answer with the number you want (only the person who asked can pick).
  • Bots can equip cosmetics the account does not own, including rare and unreleased items.
  • Supported slots: outfit, backpack, pickaxe, emote, emoji, shoes, sidekick, pet carrier, jam track and banner. Gliders, contrails, wraps and sprays are not supported.

Typing just a name lets the bot guess the slot. To be exact, use the command for that slot.

Setting a specific slot

Each slot has its own command. The full list lives at fnlb.net/commands.

CommandAliasesExample
outfit <name>skinoutfit Renegade Raider
backpack <name>bpbackpack Black Shield
pickaxe <name>-pickaxe AC/DC
emote <name>danceemote Scenario
emoji <name>-emoji gg
shoes <name>shoe, kicksshoes Chomp Stompers
sidekick <name>mimosa, companionsidekick Peels
petcarrier <name>pet-carrier, carrierpetcarrier Remus
banner <banner> [color]-banner InfluencerBanner23 DefaultColor7

To set any single cosmetic without choosing a slot, use cosmetic <name> (alias cos).

Changing styles (variants)

Most outfits, backpacks, pickaxes, shoes and sidekicks have selectable styles. To change the style of what the bot is already wearing, use the matching *-variants command and pass the style numbers in order, separated by spaces.

CommandAliasesExample
outfit-variants <n...>style, skinstyle, ovariantsoutfit-variants 2 5
backpack-variants <n...>bpvariants, bpstylebackpack-variants 1
pickaxe-variants <n...>pvariants, pstylepickaxe-variants 3
shoe-variants <n...>svariants, sstyleshoe-variants 1
sidekick-variants <n...>skvariants, skstylesidekick-variants 2

Style numbers are 1-based. Leave them out and the bot asks you to choose a style for each group. You can also set an item and its styles in one message with cosmetic <id> <n...>, or with preset.

Clearing, copying and showcasing

  • clear-emote (cem, clear) - stop the current emote
  • clear-backpack (cbp, clearbp) - remove the back bling
  • clear-shoes (csh) - remove the shoes
  • clear-sidekick (csk) - remove the sidekick
  • copy [filter] [member] - copy a party member's cosmetics once
  • mimic [filter] [member] - keep copying a member as they change
  • preset [outfit] [backpack] [pickaxe] [emote] [shoes] [sidekick] - set several slots at once; pass none to clear a slot
  • all-items, new-items, shop-items - cycle through every, newly added, or shop cosmetic
  • stop (st) - stop a showcase, mimic or emote

This is a great way to show off a skin collection, run a cosmetic roulette, or match a friend's outfit.

Tips

  • Spell the name as closely as you can - fuzzy search handles the rest
  • If the bot replies with a numbered list, reply with just the number
  • Cosmetics update in a couple of seconds, so wait a moment before sending another
  • While all-items is running, don't start another showcase until you send stop
