Introduction

In this tutorial, I will guide you on how to use hex editing to replace skins on your Fortnite account. Hex editing allows you to replace a skin that you already own with a different skin, whether it's available in the game market, leaked, or in the shop. We will be using the HxD Editor program for this process. So, let's dive in and learn how to customize your Fortnite skins!

Understanding Hex Editing and Skin Replacement

Before we begin, it's important to understand what hex editing is and how it allows us to replace skins on our Fortnite account. Hex editing involves modifying the hexadecimal values of a file, in this case, the Fortnite pack file. By replacing the hexadecimal values that represent a specific skin with the values of a different skin, we can effectively swap out the skins on our account.

Getting the Required Program - HxD Editor

To proceed with hex editing, we first need to download the HxD Editor program. You can find the download link in the description of this tutorial. On the download page, choose your preferred language and download the ZIP file. Once downloaded, extract the ZIP file and run the HxD setup. Select your language during the installation process and choose the desired installation location. Once the installation is complete, you're ready to start hex editing.

Locating the Fortnite Pack File

To begin the skin replacement process, we first need to locate the Fortnite pack file on your system. Open the HxD Editor and navigate to "Open" from the "File" menu. Locate the folder where Fortnite is installed on your system (e.g., "D Drive > Fortnite > FortniteGame > Content > Paks"). Look for the "Pakchunk0-WindowsClient.pak" file, as this is the pack file we will be working with.

Finding the Skin ID

In order to replace a skin, we need to identify its unique Skin ID (also known as CID). To find the Skin IDs for different skins, we can refer to a website that provides a list of all available Skin IDs in the game. Once you have identified the Skin ID of the skin you want to replace, copy it to your clipboard.

Swapping Out Skins

Now that we have the Skin ID of the skin we want to replace, we can proceed with swapping it out. The first step is to copy the new Skin ID to your clipboard. Next, go back to the HxD Editor window and search for the Skin ID that you want to replace. Once you've located it, paste the new Skin ID in its place. Make sure that the length of the new Skin ID matches the length of the original one. Save the changes by clicking the save button.

6.1. Copying the Skin ID

To copy the Skin ID of the skin you want to replace, select and copy the ID from the website that provides the list of Skin IDs. Paste the Skin ID in a text editor to keep it handy.

6.2. Pasting the New Skin ID

After locating the original Skin ID in the HxD Editor window, paste the new Skin ID that you want to replace it with. Make sure that the pasted ID is an exact match in terms of length and characters. This ensures that the replacement is successful.

Validating the Changes

To ensure that the skin replacement was successful, check for any changes in the HxD Editor window. If the replaced Skin ID is displayed correctly and the surrounding text remains unchanged, it means that the skin has been successfully swapped out. Save the changes and proceed to the next step.

Repeating the Process for Emotes

Apart from skins, you can also replace emotes using the same hex editing process. Search for the Emote ID that you wish to replace and copy it. Find an emote that you already own and has the same length as the one you want to replace. Paste the new Emote ID in place of the old one, ensuring an exact match in length and characters. Save the changes and proceed to the next step.

Testing the Changes in the Epic Games Launcher

To confirm that the skin and emote replacements have taken effect, open the Epic Games Launcher and navigate to the locker section. Check if the swapped skins and emotes are visible in your collection. If the changes are correctly applied, you can enjoy your new custom skins and emotes.

By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can create a customized collection of skins and emotes that reflect your personal style.
