Hero types in Fortnite

Heroes are used to complete missions in the game. You can wear various skins on them that will help you create a beautiful picture and make your character special.

They can only be changed after the corresponding skill is unlocked in the player’s development tree (after about 10 hours of play).

All skins, depending on the quality level, are divided into 5 main types:

  • Fancy (green);
  • Rare (blue);
  • Epic (purple);
  • Legendary (orange);
  • Mythical (gold color).

A detailed description of each of them is presented in the table:

Fancy They are the cheapest skins and cost 800 V-Bucks. Many of the unusual skins look like the standard clothes of the hero, so when choosing them, the player will be deprived of additional privileges. At the same time, the section also has its own “stars”, such as Nitelite, Liteshow, Whiplash and Sgt Green Clover
Rare Blue skins are only available to Battle Pass holders. The Standard Pack can be purchased for 950 V-Bucks, and the 25 Level Pack for 4700 V-Bucks. As soon as the new season arrives, there is a chance to get the rarest skins, which makes them the most valuable
Epic Compared to other types, this is a new skin in the game that can only be purchased once. The game offers gamers to purchase new skins and a set of V-Bucks at a low price. This type of skins is constantly being updated, among them there are exclusive ones and with each subsequent season the developers introduce new models
Legendary They cost 2000 V-Bucks and among the skins mentioned there are representatives of various sets. Buying orange skins is a good investment compared to other in-game apparel. They are worth their money and offset the cost through unique and distinctive styles and themes in Fortnight.
Mythical The mythical skins in the game are only available to gamers who own the Fortnite Founder’s Pack. It was launched when the game had only the mode of saving the world available. At the same time, you can still buy the specified pack. Immediately after purchase, 2 rare battle royale skins will be unlocked

Classes of heroes with photos

In Fortnight, players must choose a character class. Each of them has 10 subclasses of heroes, among which there are both male and female. They have their own special functions, which are revealed during the game.

Soldier

The soldier is the most versatile of the 4 hero classes. They are suitable for players looking to wield powerful firepower to quickly destroy Husks.

All abilities of the characters of this class are related to weapons and are aimed at increasing the power of damage inflicted by the player on his enemy.

The soldier does not specialize in anything that might relate to exploration and construction. But he gets mines and grenades, which are useful in destroying Husks while defending his fortress.

Soldier

Gamers most often start the game as this type of character named Rescue Trooper Ramirez.

Ninja

The Ninja class has the highest movement speed. Its representatives have the ability to “double jump”, know how to use melee weapons and projectiles, including swords and ninja stars. Their high mobility allows ninjas to dodge enemies and attack them from the flanks. This class is great for players who prefer close-to-hand combat to gunfights.

Ninja

Ninjas have various attacking abilities, they can avoid damage, thanks to which they are able to fight more effectively than others with hunks.

The only drawback is that ninja initially have lower health than other characters.

Constructor

The Constructor class is suitable for players with a passion for building Fortnite. Thanks to their bonuses and the ability to use fewer resources, they build faster than other classes. Constructors have a feature called BASE (Basic Automated Sentinel Edifice) that gives buildings additional protection and enhances the area around them. This ability creates a construction zone, and everything that is built inside it requires less resources to build, has a higher degree of protection.

Constructor

In this case, the constructor moves more slowly than other classes.

Traveler

Travelers specialize in harvesting crops and resources. Through their passive abilities, they masterfully find treasures and loot containers. Aliens have a skill that signals when a chest is nearby. This makes them a useful helper for discovering all the hidden secrets of the game.

Traveler

Travelers are looking for lighthouses allowing them to erect TEDDY and Loot Llamas towers. This type is suitable for gamers who like to search for resources and study the map.

The main disadvantage of the aliens is the lack of active abilities.

Who to choose when creating

The choice of character in Fortnite depends on what the player likes to do. After all, each class has its own advantages and disadvantages that must be considered. And to understand which one is more suitable, you can only start from your preferences.

If the player likes to build strong fortresses, have a lot of health and the ability to massively kill opponents, then the Constructor is the best choice. This class has a small offensive potential, but it makes up for it with cheaper construction costs, and it also builds buildings faster than other characters. In addition, this character is able to build a technique that will help him in destroying enemies.

The soldier is suitable for those who like to destroy things, want to kill enemies and crave firefights. This class has a high attack potential and defense abilities.

Character Creation

Ninja are preferred by those who love speed and close combat.

For those who like to explore different areas and look for rare items, the traveler will suit. This class has a weak attack and defense potential, but this is fully compensated by its ability to find rare and cool treasures during the passage of the mission.

Do Fortnight characters have names

When registering in Fortnite, the user must choose a nickname. This short name will be displayed during the game. The nickname is just as important as the ability to shoot or build. He, along with a photo, is able to tell what the user is like.

If you no longer like your nickname, you can change it in the Epic Games Personal Account. To do this, in the “Display name” field you need to enter a new nickname of the character and click on “Save changes” at the bottom of the page. After that, you will need to confirm the name change by entering it again.

In this case, you can change your nickname no more often than once every 2 weeks. For the first time, this can only be done after 10 hours of play.

How to change the hero when completing a mission

Each time the game starts, it gives the player a random character with a random appearance and gender. The only way to influence this is by using a skin. You can change skins and cosmetics before the start of the next game, without leaving it, as follows:

  1. Immediately after elimination, look at the menu on the right side of the screen.
  2. Click on the menu item “Store and locker”.
  3. Choose a new skin among the existing ones or buy a new one.
  4. Confirm selection.

The character is now wearing new equipment.
