1. Log into Epic Games account on website.
2. Go to the Account tab.
3. Click the pencil by the Display Name box.
4. Copy and paste any symbols you want, such as a smiley face, an emoticon or anything. Most of these can be Googled.
5. Hit confirm.

After that, you can be as sweaty as ever. Any time I see emojis or symbols in a player’s name, I know they’re not to be trifled with as that’s a stereotypical tryhard Fortnite name. This will produce some of the most sweaty names Fortnite has ever seen!

How do I make my Fortnite name sweaty?

To make your Fortnite name as sweaty as can be, you need to set it with key points in mind. Obviously, something like “killer” or “winner” goes a long way in convincing those reading the kill feed that you’re not to be trifled with. It should also be themed.

So for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, Snooty Steppes is a hot drop that most people don’t make it out of. If your name were something like SnootyChampion, that would suggest that you frequent that location and come out of it with Peter Griffin’s Mythic and Medallion. Therefore, players should fear you for your tryhard name!

You can also angle your Fortnite name with an item to be even more frightening. MedallionCollector works wonders, and it makes people think twice before crossing you. You can do something like ReaperSniperGOAT, which tells players they shouldn’t stand still for even a moment when you’re on the island. You can also try name generators, as they can often come up with good Fortnite names.

Combine these names with a sweaty skin and you’re sure to get some players running away before your battle even begins. That’s all for the best Fortnite names for sweats, but be sure to check out what an ascender is, where best to get leaks, and how to slide in Fortnite.
