BOTLOBBIESShould I use Sit out or Not ready for the bot?
Use Sit out when you want the bot to remain in the lobby while the human players proceed. Not ready only requests a readiness change.
Choose deliberately
Open Appearance and emotes and select Sit out for the connected bot. Check its state in the same Fortnite party before anyone queues.
Keep the decision
The readiness guard preserves that choice against automatic preparation in that party, rather than immediately making the bot Ready again.
Bring it back
Use Join in when you want the bot participating again. Recheck the party leader and selected activity before making the human player's Ready selection.
