Step 2: Unlock your setup guide
Enter your email and order number on the setup guides page to get the downloads and exact steps for your product.
Step 3: Prepare Windows
- Allow the loader through Windows Defender or your antivirus as described in your guide.
- Run the loader as administrator.
- Close overlays your guide mentions (for example MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner).
- Follow the guide on whether to start the loader before or after Fortnite.
Step 4: Test in a safe mode
Load into Creative or a team rumble first. Check the menu opens, ESP lines up with players and the aimbot behaves the way you want. Only then move to normal matches.
Step 5: Your first legit config
| Setting | Start with |
|---|---|
| Aimbot FOV | Small |
| Smoothing | High |
| Prediction | On |
| Visible only / knocked check | On |
| Triggerbot | Shotgun only, small delay |

Fortnite Private can import and export configs, so save yours once it feels right.
