The Locker is a Lobby feature in Fortnite. It is where the Player can manage and equip their owned Cosmetic Items. Some types of Cosmetic Items (such as Gliders and Contrails) may not be available to use in Save the World. Players can access the Locker in-game with the Changing Booth, only in Creative.

Features[]

Locker Presets 10 - Save The World - Fortnite

The Presets Interface

  • Presets - Icon - Fortnite Locker Presets allows the Player to store different combos of Cosmetics without changing them. Each tab of the Locker (except for LEGO® Kits, which cannot have Presets) can store up to 100 presets. The Presets can be created, renamed, overrided and deleted.
  • Favorite Badge (v28.00) - Icon - Fortnite Favoriting can be done in order to make a selected variety of cosmetics stand out in the Locker and/or to filter what items can be equipped when selecting to Random a cosmetic type or to Random Loadout. The Player can view all favorited cosmetics by selecting "FAVORITES" in the filters. Favoriting or unfavoriting can be done by opening the three-dot drop-down menu on a cosmetic and selecting "Favorite Item"/"Unfavorite Item". LEGO® Kits cannot be favorited.
  • Archived - Icon - Fortnite Cosmetics can be Archived, meaning that they will no longer be viewable in the Locker. They can be viewed and equipped again by selecting "ARCHIVED" in the filters. Archiving favorited cosmetics will automatically un-favorite them. Archived cosmetics are excluded from the random cosmetic selection. Archiving or unarchiving can be done by opening the three-dot drop-down menu on a cosmetic and selecting "Archive Item"/"Unarchive Item". LEGO® Kits cannot be archived.
  • Age Restriction Warning - Icon - Fortnite Some Cosmetics are Age Restricted, meaning they have an age rating higher than E or E10+ (or regionally equivalent). If a Player equips one of these Items and joins an Island below the designated rating threshold (E or E10+), their equipped Item will be replaced with one that's compatible with the Island's rating. For example, their Outfit will appear as a default Outfit.
  • Magnifying glass - Icon - Fortnite Inside the Locker, it is possible to search for Cosmetics by typing their name in the Search Bar. It can also be used as a filter, by typing their series, set or chapter and season of release. There is also a Sort Filter option that allows to change the way Cosmetics are sorted and filtered. It is possible to sort by Default, Sets, A-Z and Season, and filter by All, Recent, Favorites, Archived and others depending on the Cosmetic Type. A option to Hide Unsuported Items (like Age Restricted Cosmetics for the current experience or cosmetics that only appears when equipped along a specific Outfit) is also present.
  • Phone Booth - Device - Fortnite The Changing Booth is a Creative Device that allows players to change their cosmetics while in-game. Despite reflecting the Locker, the Cars, Jam Tracks, and LEGO® Kits tabs cannot be seen, and thus their respective cosmetics cannot be changed while using it.

In Save the World[]

The Save the World Locker looks and works mostly the same as in other Modes, with the active cosmetic loadout and presets being shared across all of them. Contrails and Gliders can't be used as there is no way to enter in the Skydiving or Gliding state in Save the World. Auras can't be used either. Wraps can be used in the Hoverboard and in all types of Weapons, except Melee Weapons. All cosmetics items in the Instruments, Cars, Jam Tracks and LEGO® Kits tabs are not usable in Save the World.

When an Outfit is not equipped, the Player will use the default appearance of the currently active Hero. Some Heroes have Unlockable Styles that can be selected in the Locker after evolving that Hero. Some Heroes will also include unique Back Blings that can be worn. These Back Blings can be used even when the Hero's default appearance is not currently equipped.

Reactive Cosmetics may or may not work in Save the World. For example, while the Midas Outfit will turn weapons gold as part of its reactive effect, Marigold, despite having the exact same reactive effect, does not work as intended. Cosmetics that react to eliminations do not trigger when eliminating any kind of Monsters, neither of Wildlife. Cosmetics that require a certain amount of damage to activate the reactivity however do work in Save the World, but they immediately change to the final stage upon hitting any husk with any weapon because weapons deal thousands of damage in Save the World.

  • At the start of Update v30.20, the Rap Boy Outfit couldn't be equipped or seen in the Locker due to it being re-encrypted. It was only decrypted four days later, along with the release of the Houdini Emote.
  • In Chapter 2: Season 3, it was announced that Save the World would no longer be able to support all upcoming Cosmetic purchases from Battle Royale over the coming months. However, all Cosmetics introduced from Chapter 2: Season 3 onward are still compatible with all modes.
