Best sweaty Fortnite names and tryhard usernames

Fortnite lets you know who kills you, so you need an impactful, rage-inducing name to make sure your enemies really feel the sting of defeat. No one is furious when John_Doe kills them—you want a sweaty username. So, we’ve put together a list of the best sweaty Fortnite names.

The best Fortnite names and nicknames to use

Players love using sweaty usernames in Fortnite to make their opponent laugh or rage. If you have ever been eliminated by Noob_Destroyer_69, you will know how infuriating it can be. On the other hand, it can be satisfying to know that the player you just took out with a headshot can see they got sniped by the TrashCollector.

Tips on creating sweaty usernames

Get creative about it, and remember that the aim of this username is to make any opponent you face during a game laugh, cringe, or rage! Use in-game references like Floppers, no-scope sniping, or bush camping, or look at other sweaty usernames for inspiration, especially Fortnite pros. Some players like to add their favorite pro Fortnite player team name to their username, such as FaZe Clan or Vortex. Try combining pre-existing names into new ones or add symbols and faces to your name.

Fortnite username symbols and how to add them

Symbols are a great way to add some extra tone to your name. If you want to convey an attitude or a cute wink, an emoticon can help. Below are some of our favorite symbols to use with your Fortnite username to make it look unique:

  • ಠ_ಠ
  • (^-^)
  • (◕‿◕)
  • \(≧▽≦)/
  • (-_-‘)
  • (^▽^)
  • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • (ò.õ)
  • (*≧ω≦*)
  • ヽ(o^▽^o)ノ
  • (¢_¢)
  • (✯◡✯)
  • (ツ゚)
  • (ò.ó)
  • (⌒‿⌒)
  • (*^‿^*)
  • (¬_¬)
  • (ఠ_ఠ)

You can change your Fortnite username once every two weeks, so if the current name isn’t doing it for you, you can swap it out soon after. Adding symbols to your new Fortnite username is a simple copy-and-paste process. You can’t do it on console but will have to go through your Epic account instead. Here’s how to add them:

  1. Log into your Epic Games account on the website.
  2. Click the Account tab that shows up after hovering over your username.
  3. Click the pencil symbol by the Display Name box under account settings.
  4. Copy and paste any symbols you want to use (special symbol charts can be found on various websites) next to your username in the New Display Name section.
  5. Hit confirm.

If it worked, your display name will be updated the next time you log into the game.
