Hi Fortnite Community!
Can you beat a Dev at their own game? Can you find us, or will we find you?
Today, May 7 at 6:00pm ET, we’ll be running up-to-100-player lobbies with 10 developers:
Drecker (@Dreckerr) < Balance Designer
CrypticFox (@riftinrobby) < Gameplay Producer
Soopa Bloopa (@SoopaBloopa) < Gameplay Programmer
CheckNate2 (@MucklerNathan) < Gameplay Programmer
Zebrasmoothie (@MrZebrasmoothie) < Gameplay Programmer
Waterelemental33 < QA Analyst
Chazzmcfreely < Art Producer
EmptyTuxedo (@EmptyTux) < The GOAT
Tofu Chris (@EpicTofuChris) < Block of Tofu
And more!
Matches will be in Battle Royale - Zero Build - Squads - North America East (NAE) Matchmaking Region.
ENLISTING BODYGUARDS
We’ll be splitting our Devs into pairs of 2. Since we’re playing in the SQUADS playlist, this means Players on “Fill” will get paired with a group of Devs. Defend us, we’re scrubs! (writer's note: speak for yourself, EmptyTux...)
HOW IT WORKS
The first Matchmaking Code will be posted on X.com/EpicTofuChris at 6:00pm ET today, and also posted here. We’ll run new codes every 20 minutes for about 3 hours tonight.
SNIPE A DEV, GET A REPOST
Mom get the camera! Snag a clip of you taking down a dev or copping the W? Share it and tag us - we’ll repost the best clips of Devs getting sniped. But be warned, we won’t go down easily 🙂. See you tonight, 6:00pm ET!
(don’t worry if you miss it, we’ll do more, and are running multiple lobbies tonight!)
You're going down.

How to set up Custom Matchmaking
First, make sure you have the right Playlist Lobby before you enter the code.
Battle Royale
Zero Build
Squads (Fill < make sure to get teammates!)
NAE matchmaking region
How to set your matchmaking region, a guide for noobs:
Open Settings (Esc -> Gear symbol on PC)
Navigate to “Game” sub-tab
See Language and Region, i.e. the first section
Matchmaking Region setting, set to “NA-East”
Hit Apply, then hit Save. Don’t use Auto!
How to enter a Custom Matchmaking Code:
Ensure you have Battle Royale - Zero Build - Squad - Fill selected in the PLAY tab
Navigate down to Discover
In the bottom right corner, you’ll see “Custom Key”. Click it!
Type in the custom matchmaking key posted on X.com/EpicTofuChris - CaPs sEnSiTivE
Hit Accept
Scroll back up to the Lobby, and hit PLAY
Wait 5-10 minutes for Matchmaking to commence. You can see the number of players “queueing up” on the left side, after you hit PLAY. The closer that number is to 100, the sooner we’ll start!
Be on the lookout for more codes posted. We’ll change them each game, to start the lobby fresh.
If you are eliminated early, feel free to spectate! Games will roll-over every 20 minutes.
It will be SWEATY.
