Characters or Genres are the different types of skins available in the game. Skins are in turn cosmetic items that can be unlocked by purchasing them using V-Buck, the primary currency used in the Fortnite store. The characters and their genders are not customizable and can be found in the game as part of the skin that the player could get.

It will be difficult for players who don’t spend money on the game to get the skins of their choice. It is quite difficult to earn V-Bucks in the amount needed to purchase a skin for free. Here’s how to unlock various characters and genres in Fortnite.

Players will have to play as random characters scroll by before being rewarded with their first skin. New players can play using the game’s default characters, in particular Ramièrez, Jonsey And Renegade. Also, without owning any skin, players will not be given the option to choose their character but will be given a random one before each match at random.

The only way to get permanent skins in Fortnite that players can change to their choice is to use V-Bucks. They can be earned in small amounts and take a long time. V-Bucks can be earned for free Battle Pass also because they give out free V-Bucks every time a player levels up. Each Battle Pass is distributed 300 V-Buck free every season. This means that players will have to wait around 4 seasons before they can summon enough V-Bucks to buy a skin.

This is why most players prefer to buy in-game currency directly using real money. By purchasing the paid Battle Pass, players can also get characters that earn on different levels. Although some characters are not available to be earned from the Battle Pass and must be purchased directly using V-Bucks.

How to change Characters and Gender in Fortnite

After successfully acquiring several characters in any way deemed suitable for the player, the question may arise how is it possible to swap the character or change their gender? Well, it is important to know that unless the player has purchased or unlocked the skins of both sexes of a character, he cannot change it manually. Now assuming one has skins from other genres and other characters, here’s how they can change between them:
