How to differentiate between bots and bad players in Fortnite?

There’s no definitive method for spotting bots. The only things that are for certain are that they:

  • Can’t drive
  • Can’t appear in human teams
  • Can’t be spectated
These three facts were shared by Epic in a blog post, so you can rely on that. It’s not much, but whenever you see someone driving a vehicle, you can be certain they’re a real person. Also, if at least one player in a squad or duo is human, the rest will be too – bots only play in bot teams. The last method isn’t all that useful, as you can only rely on it once you die, but you cannot spectate a bot. If the game lets you spectate the player who murdered you, they’re real. If it transfers you onto someone else, then the one that got you was, in fact, an AI player.

Everything else you might hear about how to spot bots is just speculation, and most of it is hot air. A lot of folks claim they’re easy to figure out because they build less and have bad aim, but I hate building and have terrible aim, and I’m sure not a bot. Some like to thing you can tell by the skins, but it’s been proven that bots can use a variety of skins. Also, a number of folks insist the bots will have stupid names ending with numbers, and those folks are usually called Vegito313 or something along those lines.
