How Do I Know If I'm Playing Against Bots In Fortnite

There is no concrete way to tell you're playing against a bot. However, there are a couple of valuable tips we can share to easily identify likely bots.

The first way to know if someone is a bot is to look at their name. Bots will often have names like Red Head or Demon Kong which are not typically used by real players.

Another way to check if you're playing against a bot is to look at how they play. Bots will make a sporadic movement, like turning 90 degrees while shooting at a player. When a player makes strange movements like this you can be sure you're playing against a bot.

Finally, bots will not build well. If you find a player who randomly places a couple of walls, but doesn't build efficiently like the other players in your lobby it is likely a bot.
