Before you start
You only need two things:
- A free FNLB account (register at fnlb.net)
- A brand new Epic Games account to use as the bot
Warning: Never use your main Fortnite account as a bot. A bot must be a new account that nobody else uses, and it has to be level 1 so it can pull you into bot lobbies.
Get the FNLB App
Download and open the FNLB App so you can create and manage your custom bots.
Download the FNLB App to unlock features like creating, configuring and starting your own custom Fortnite bots.
Open the "My Bots" page
In the FNLB App, open the My Bots page. This is where every bot you create lives, grouped into categories.
Note: Unverified FNLB accounts can create one bot. Verify your email to create more - see How to verify your FNLB account.
Create your first bot
Click Create my first custom bot to start the setup wizard. You can either create a new Epic Games account from scratch or import an existing brand new one.
Import your bot's Epic Games account
Select Import your bot's Epic Games Account. A new tab opens on Epic Games and asks you to sign in to the bot account and click Confirm to authorize it.
Note: There is no need to type your bot password into FNLB. Authorization happens on the official Epic Games page.
Confirm the authorization
On the Epic Games page, click Confirm to link the bot account. FNLB now stores a token for that account, so it can keep the bot online for you.
Confirm it is not your main account
The wizard shows the account name it imported and asks you to confirm it is not your main account. FNLB may also warn you if the account has match history, because it will not reliably produce bot lobbies.
Organize with a category
Categories group bots that share the same settings. Create a new category (or assign the bot to an existing one) to control defaults such as permissions, the cosmetics it can equip and how it behaves in a party.
Start and manage your bot
Congratulations - your custom bot is created. Use the Start button to bring it online and the gear icon in its category to open the category settings.
Next, follow Getting your bot online and then How to get into a Fortnite bot lobby.
