Bots in Fortnite are no secret but it really has gotten bad, huh? I remember trying the game out some years ago, was annoyed by the obvious bots in my games and never touched it again after one session. Things must’ve gotten more downhill since.
Funny thing is, even if your skills were in the bracket for more human weighted matches, you’d not have hit them in your first few sessions. The first few matches are always 100% bots to give you a feeling for the game without the rick of being steam rolled by humans.
There’s also the problem of matches being 100 people and not starting until it hits about that number. Imagine the fun of sitting and waiting for 10 minutes for people to hop on.
A couple of months ago there was a data breach on twitter that revealed only 7% were actual people (active accounts)

This link is about leaked Twitter data.
yes bots are everywhere
Are you one? This is making zero sense.
Elmo “Pedo Guy” Musk is merging Twitter with Fortnite. So the Twitter bots will now be playing Fortine while spamming Elmo propaganda in chat.
What exactly is not clear to you?
Man, I’m so out of touch, apparently 😂
I too am confused.
But why? Plenty of people already play
This is the reason I stopped playing pubg and I couldn’t get my head round it either. In theory people may enjoy it more because it’s easier to win, and who doesn’t like winning? Yes it’s not a real win against bots but the bots are a secret so maybe it feels like a real win?
But it’s obvious that you’re against bots. If people enjoy playing against bots why not just include a bot mode?
I see a few possible reasons
-
Most people are ignorant to the bots. They play a few games, they win, they’re happy. They don’t realise they only had 4 humans in their lobby.
-
People eventually realise they’re against bots but the devs are stupid. They did some focus groups and detected people being happy. These people would have eventually realised they’re against bots and hated it but the focus groups didn’t detect that. Like a pepsi challenge.
-
Blissful ignorance? People kind of know they’re against bots but turn a blind eye and wins still feel good. They wouldn’t play a specific 100% bot mode because they want a “real win”
Updooted

Bots were a big reason why I didn’t continue playing Naraka. A battle royale that has bots is just awful. I’d rather have long queues than a BR lobby with a handful of people.
Back in the day we dreamed of games with large war zones and hundred of people. Sadly, technology wasn’t advanced enough. So we would have bits running around everywhere. Simpler times😂
‘Fortnite OG’ lobbies may now have as little as eight real players, according to a report from a prominent Epic Games leaker.
In a lot of the games I play, I’d be happy to have that many.
