One of the coolest things about Fortnite is that you can use a plethora of skins to customize your characters. But sometimes, Fortnite won’t let you change your skin. Let’s see what you can do to fix this glitch.
Why is my Fortnite skin not changing?
Disable Shuffle readouts
If you’re experiencing the same issue, check if you have the preset shuffle on. Navigate to your locker and disable shuffling presets. Then check if the issue is gone. Disabling the random shuffle did the trick for many gamers.
Update Fortnite
Make sure you’re running the latest Fortnite updates on your device. The devs may have already fixed the glitch in the most recent game patch. Install the latest Fortnite patch and try to change your skin again.
Report the bug
If nothing helped, report the bug you’re experiencing to Epic Games. Go to the game menu, select Reporting/Feedback, and then select Report a Bug. For more information, see How do I submit a bug report in Fortnite?
Epic Games regularly roll out new skins to gamers’ delight. You can either invest time into the gameplay to earn a particular skin or pay some bucks to get your hands on it.
As a quick reminder, there are over 800 skins in Fortnite and counting. Not being able to use your favorite Fortnite skins can be really annoying, especially given the effort that gamers put into getting them.
We hope that disabling the random shuffle in your locker solved the problem. If you found other ways to fix the glitch that prevents Fortnite from changing your skin, feel free to share your ideas in the comments below.
