Skin Names For Fortnite
You might buy or acquire a Fortnite Skin because they look cool, or they have controlled availability, or the skin mimics my style of character and play, or it just looks good. Whatever reason you choose, a stylish Fortnite outfit is important because its look, powers (and secret powers) could make the difference in winning a Battle Royale.
One tactic in a Battle Royale is for a battle squad to dress all in the same skin. This can be confusing to their enemies and allows them to create decoys and ambushes. You can purchase a Fortnite skin from the Cash Shop using V-Bucks.
An expensive Fortnite Skin can cost $2000 V-Bucks, a spendy in-game purchase. But you can also earn a Fortnite Skin by advancing through different tiers of the game. In addition, there are special promotions that offer unique skins for sale at a promo price for a limited time.
Types of Skins
Fortnite Skins or “Outfits” include Legendary, Epic, Rare, Uncommon, and Common. Orange Legendary Skins have very distinct styling and themes.
Purple Epic Fortnite Skins cost a little less than Legendary Skins but also have unique styles and functions. Rare Skins are Blue and cost less than Epic Skins. They can be adventurous and, like all Fortnite Skins, are available for those identifying as female or male. Uncommon Skins are Green and cost 800 V-Bucks in the Cash Store.
These skins also offer some uncommon accessories. Finally, the Common Fortnite Skins are Grey, and they are the stock skins the game automatically equips with you.
Bonus: The skins described above are for the Fortnite Battle Royale Game. The Fortnite Save, the World Game, has Gold Mythic Skins that can be purchased.

How to Change Your Fortnite Name
Fortnite does put a restriction on how often you can change your Fortnite username. You may only change your name once every six months.
Here’s how:
1.) Go to the Epic Games website.
2.) Select the Account icon.
3.) Enter your account info.
4.) Select the My Account icon.
5.) Now, you can change your existing name to your new name.
6.) Scroll down and select “Save Changes.”
7.) Exit the site.
8.) Log back into your Epic Games account and make certain your new name appears.
That should do it.
Fortnite Name Criteria
Epic Games does put some restrictions on usernames for Fortnite:
- You cannot use the word Epic in your username.
- The name can only contain letters, numbers, and spaces, with no punctuation.
- It cannot be obscene.
- It must be a minimum of 5 characters and a maximum of 32 characters.
- Case – upper or lower – does not matter.
- Almost all font styles are supported.
The Fortnite username and display name can be different. The username is an account identifier and indicates the direct URL used to visit your profile. You would use your username to get account status and information.
Your username appears on the screen when you are actively playing the game. As stated above, you can change your username once every six months.
Your Fortnite Display Name
Your display name is visible to other Fortnite members when you make comments or questions in the member’s forum. It can be different from your username, which you use to log in to your Epic Games account.
When you first create your account, the username and the display name will be the same. A member must get permission from the site administrator to change their display name.
We hope you will enjoy playing Fortnite for many years to come, and we hope the information we’ve provided here will help you have a little more fun as you establish your persona on Fortnite. From the “Expert Marksman,” here’s saying PLAY ON!
The popularity of the Game
While the game is free to play and as many as 40 million people log on to enjoy the battle every month, just last May, players made in-game purchases that totaled $318 million…in a single month! Fortnite is a big business.
But even with all the shooting and killing, the fun in Fortnite is building and customizing. Outfitting your character with the latest “skin” and weapons, creating a unique and fitting name for your character, or performing a memorable victory dance. And, like many competitive endeavors, your player name is important.
We hope we’ve helped you on that front. And remember, the last one standing wins!
