The first thing you need to gain access to bot lobbies in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is to get a device and install Fortnite on it. It could be a phone, a laptop, or any other console/device that can run Fortnite without issues. Next, you have to install Fortnite on that device and create a new account.

When you create a new account, your account level essentially starts from zero and eliminates any chances of real players spawning with you. This is the main trick to gaining access to bot lobbies in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.

Invite the alternate account to your lobby

Invite the alternate account to your lobby or join the lobby of your alternate account. Make sure that your alternate account is the party leader and start the match.

The spare account, with its low to zero account level, essentially triggers the game to spawn you into bot lobbies in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. Here, you play against AI and bots. It is void of real players. You can gradually level up to level 30 and beyond, slowly easing into lobbies with real players in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3.

Once you spawn to the island on your main account, immediately exit the game from your alternate account. This is the most important step in the process and you must do it right after your main account spawns on the lobby island.

Make sure your alternate account does not get on the battle bus or join the match. This prevents your alternate account from leveling up and allows you to reuse the account for bot lobbies in the future too. Make sure your alternate account is below level 30 at all times as going beyond that will put you in real lobbies with real players.

Why are bot lobbies in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 getting so popular?

Bot lobbies in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 have seen a steady rise recently after Epic Games changed how much XP was offered from daily quests. It was reduced from 70,000-80,000 XP daily to a meager 45,000 XP when you complete all daily quests.

Apart from this, story quests are limited and there is a very slim scope of gaining substantial XP and completing your Wrecked Fortnite Battle Pass, let alone claiming your bonus rewards.

Another reason players are jumping into bot lobbies in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is because of V-Bucks. Epic Games decided to allot a chunk of the seasonal 1500 V-Bucks as part of the bonus rewards.

Essentially, players have to reach levels as high as 140 or 150 to claim the full 1500 V-Bucks. The new allotments give you 1000 V-bucks from the regular battle pass until level 100 and the remaining 500 V-bucks can be claimed by finishing bonus rewards pages.
