Playing Fortnite on the Console Allows You to Change Your Gamertag
Playing Fortnite on the console allows you to change your Gamertag (Xbox Live ID) for free, but you can only change your PSN ID once for free. After that, it costs to change your online ID. Remember that changing your online ID will not affect progress within games or content you have already purchased or gained.
You Can Change Your Name on Fortnite Every Two Weeks
Every two weeks, you can change your username at no cost. This is an easy way to stand out among your fellow Fortnite players and make yourself more identifiable as an individual. Once you've done this enough times, you'll have a list of names you can cycle through every two weeks.
Your Fortnite Name Can Be Changed Countless Times – there's no Limit
You can change your Fortnite name to any other name as many times as you want, but you'll have to wait at least two weeks before doing it again. If you created your account after the Epic Games acquisition of Psyonix (23rd May 2019), then you must have verified your email address before you can change your Epic display name.
It's Free to Change Your Fortnite Name if You're Using Epic Games Launcher
Changing your Fortnite name on the Epic Games Launcher is free, but you must be online. You can't change it from the in-game menu, so you'll have to log into the launcher separately.
If you use another platform, like PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch, you'll have to wait until your account has been migrated to an Epic Games account. Once that's done, and you can access your account on the Epic Games Launcher (which is required for chapter 2), you'll be able to change your name for free at a later date.
How to Change Your Name on Fortnite on PS4
To change your Fortnite name, you'll need to make sure you're using the Epic Games Launcher. It's a free download from Epic Games if you haven't already installed it. It's also possible to link your PS4 or Xbox One account with an Epic Games account and vice versa, so don't worry if you are currently playing on a console.
Once you have the Epic Games Launcher installed and have logged in, head to the little cog icon at the top right of the screen. Clicking on this will open settings to choose whether to sign out or change account settings.
Select ‘Account Settings' and select ‘change username.' You will then have the option to change your username for free.

To tame a boar in Fortnite, you need some fresh fruit. You can find this by jumping into any of the tamable locations on the map below and looking for trees with purple fruit hanging from them.
Once you've got some fruit, approach a boar and throw an item at them (we found throwing an apple at them works best). If that doesn't work, throw another one until it does, then follow it around, throwing fruit until it successfully tames.
