Understand the bot status

Every bot shows a status in the FNLB App:

  • Offline - not running
  • Booting - starting up and signing in
  • Available - online and ready to join parties
  • In use - already in a party
  • Disconnected - lost connection and will retry

A bot that is Offline, Booting or Disconnected cannot join your party or respond to commands.

Bring the bot online

  1. Open My Bots in the FNLB App.
  2. Select your bot or category and press Start.
  3. Wait for the status to change to Available.
  4. Now invite the bot to your Fortnite party.

The first start can take a moment while the bot signs in to Epic Games.

Still offline?

If the bot will not come online:

  • Confirm the imported Epic Games account is still valid and was not changed
  • Stop and start the bot again
  • Check the FNLB Discord for announcements

Still stuck? Read Bot appears offline.
