You've Got Mail! (Well, Not Exactly, But You Get the Idea) - How to Accept Friend Requests in Fortnite
So you just finished dominating Tomato Town (again, because you're awesome), and bam! A notification pops up. Intrigue! Could it be that elusive Victory Royale llama? Perhaps a secret message from the almighty developer, showering you with V-Bucks for your legendary dance moves?
Nope. It's a friend request. Hold the phone (or controller, I guess). But before you hit that big red X (hold on, we'll get to that later), let's unpack this whole friend request business.
Friend or Foe? The Great Fortnite Friend Request Debate
Look, we've all been there. You just mopped the floor with someone in a particularly epic build battle, and they hit you with the friend request. Are they trying to recruit you as their personal shield (hey, it's a valid strategy)? Or maybe they're just impressed by your impeccable taste in pickaxes (seriously, that sparkly unicorn one is fire).
Here's the beauty of Fortnite friend requests: The choice is yours!
Accepting the Invitation: How to Become BFFs (Best Building Buddies Forever)
Alright, you've decided to take a chance on friendship. Here's how to officially accept that request and turn this random player into your next duo partner:
-
Hit the Profile Pic Party: Look up in the top right corner of your screen. See that fancy circle with your initials? That's your profile picture (who knew, right?). Give it a tap.
-
Friend Zone Fun (See what I did there?): Once you're in profile central, you'll see a symbol of a person with a plus sign. This, my friend, is the Add Friends gateway. Click on that bad boy.
-
Who Sent You What?: This is where the magic happens. You'll see a list of all the pending friend requests. Find the name of your newfound comrade-in-arms and...
-
Bam! You're Besties! Just hit Accept and congratulations! You've officially added a friend. Now you can squad up, share dance moves, and dominate the island together.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling overwhelmed by requests (hey, you're a superstar!), there's usually an Accept All option at the top. Just be sure you trust these folks before going all BFF wholesale.
Rejecting the Request: The Art of the Polite Pass
Maybe you just prefer to fly solo, or maybe this player's username involves a string of questionable emojis. Whatever the reason, it's totally okay to reject a friend request! Here's how to do it with grace:
-
Follow steps 1 & 2 from the BFF Bonanza section above.
-
Find the friend. Locate the name of the player who sent the request.
-
The Not-So-Warm Welcome: Instead of Accept, hit Reject. Poof! Request denied. No hard feelings (hopefully).
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling spicy, you can also Block the player entirely. Just use that handy Block button next to Reject. This will prevent them from ever sending you another request. Use this power wisely, young padawan.
There you have it, folks! The thrilling world of Fortnite friend requests, demystified. Now get out there and build some epic friendships (or politely decline them, whichever floats your boat).
