Fortnite: custom player search - how it works
Fortnite is the most fun when you can play it with your friends. Learn how Fortnite: Battle Royal custom player search works.
Fortnite: custom player search - how it works
- Since the last update from Fortnite, there is a new "Custom Player Search" button. You can open it with L2. You will find an input field in which you can enter a code.
- Enter your fellow player's access code and in a few seconds you will be in his lobby and the fight can begin. But how do I get such a code myself?
- Unfortunately, this has so far been reserved for only a few privileged people. So far, the developer Epic Games has only distributed such codes to selected YouTubers and streamers. This not only serves to test the new function, but also for advertising purposes. The big streamers make the custom matches known to a wide audience and arouse their interest.
- How and in what form access codes are distributed is not yet known. But everyone will have the opportunity to get one. Let's wait for the next update.
If you are lucky, you will land in the same lobby - so you increase your chance
Can't wait for the next update and want to compete with your friends right now? There is a solution for this. With luck and skill, you and your teammates can end up in the same lobby. You have to consider:
- Open the game settings and find the player search region there. There are several servers to choose from, broken down by continents. The same region must be set there as for your friends. It doesn't matter whether you take Europe or Oceania - the connection is equally good everywhere.
- Furthermore, the selected game modes must be identical. By pressing the square you can choose between "Solo", "Duos" and "Team".
- The last and most important step is that you enter the lobby at the same time. It's best to talk to your friends through an instant messaging service such as Skype to increase concurrency.
