Normal matches, limited-time game modes, and\u00a0creative maps\u00a0ensure that players always find enjoyable out of Fortnite. Although you can easily play with your friends by inviting them to your squad, you may need to find a different method if you have more than three friends. A custom match in\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0makes it easy to join a lobby filled with your friends, compete in tournaments, or host one yourself. If you\u2019re looking to create a custom match in\u00a0Fortnite, you\u2019ll need to sign up to Epic\u2019s\u00a0support-a-creator (SAC)\u00a0and have a SAC code associated with your account. See Fortnite Action Figures on Amazon Custom matchmaking looks like a fun feature for players with dozens of friends, but it was actually designed with content creators in mind. It allows them to get together with their audiences and organize in-house tournaments. Players who meet the criteria below can register to Epic\u2019s creator SAC program\u00a0through its official website. You must: Be at least 13 years old, or at least 14 years old if you are a resident of South Korea.Have 1,000+ followers on at least one of the following eligible social platforms:YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or VKBe capable of accepting the Creator Agreement (either on behalf of yourself, your child, or the legal entity that you represent)Be capable of abiding by Epic's\u00a0Creator Content GuidelinesMust be capable of receiving payment using Epic's designated payment platform (Hyperwallet) How to make a custom match If you have your follower code secured, you can follow these steps to create a custom match in\u00a0Fortnite. Launch\u00a0Fortnite\u00a0and head to the main lobbyClick on the Change button located just above PlayLook for Custom Options around the right side of your screenAfter clicking on Custom Options, you\u2019ll be required to enter your custom matchmaking jeyDon\u2019t use any personal passwords or valuable information since you\u2019ll need to share this key with other players so they can join your matchClick on Accept after entering your key and also choose Accept in the game mode selection screenOnce you start, you\u2019ll be able to see how many players are queueing with your code When the lobby is full, you\u2019ll be able to start the match as the host. The lobby you\u2019ll be creating with your code will be region-specific, however, and you should also let the participating players know which server you\u2019re queueing on. If you were to create your lobby on the European server, players using your code on the NA servers wouldn\u2019t be able to join your match. What to do in custom matches Given you have enough players, the possibilities will be endless in custom matches. The feature is mostly used by competitive players and content creators. Competitive players usually gather in custom matches to scrim against each other and test their skill versus some of the best players in the region. Content creators use the feature to spend more time with their fans in the form of tournaments or special lobbies and shoot videos. When it comes to the game mode you\u2019d like to play in your custom match, it\u2019ll be up to your personal preference. If you\u2019re looking to organize a tournament, you can use\u00a0online organizer tools\u00a0to run everything smoothly.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/05131307\/fortnite-chapter-3.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516984"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1802"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=516984"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":518938,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/516984\/revisions\/518938"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=516984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=516984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=516984"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=516984"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=516984"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=516984"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=516984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
