    Our bot lobbies provide a low-stress environment perfect for practice, completing challenges, or simply having fun without competitive pressure.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I start using the bots?" defaultOpen={false}>
    Getting started is simple:

    1. Add a bot as a friend from the <a href="https://fnbl.dev/">Bot Lobbies</a> website to your Fortnite account.

    2. Invite the bot to your party.

    3. Visit the <a href="https://fnlb.net/commands">Available Commands</a> page to explore all the commands you can use.

    Once in your party, the bot can:

    * Get ready for matches.

    * Change skins, emotes, and other cosmetics.

    * Perform various in-game actions.

    Our bots are designed to respond quickly and accurately to commands, ensuring a seamless experience.

    * BR Duos, Trios, Squads

    * Zero Build Duos, Trios, Squads

    Other modes, including ranked matches, are not supported.

    <Info>
      Using the **"no fill"** option ensures that only bots join your lobby, preventing random real players from entering your game. This allows you to fully control the environment and practice at your own pace.
    </Info>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do bots give away cosmetics or battle passes for free?" defaultOpen={false}>
    No, our bots do not provide free cosmetics, V-Bucks, or battle passes. Any service claiming otherwise is a scam.

    <Warning>
      Be cautious of third-party services promising free items. They may compromise your account's security. Our bots are strictly for practice and entertainment, with no in-game purchases or rewards.
    </Warning>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I get crowns when I win?" defaultOpen={false}>
    No, crowns have been disabled by Epic Games to prevent abuse. However, you can still:

    * Achieve wins

    Bot lobbies are ideal for leveling up your Battle Pass, completing challenges, or enjoying a relaxed gaming session.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Bots are not getting ready?" defaultOpen={false}>
    If the bots are not getting ready, try the following steps:

    * Unready yourself, wait a few seconds, and then get ready again.

    * Wait for the bot to automatically get ready.

    * If the issue persists, check the party chat for error messages and follow the instructions. Repeat these steps for all lobby members.

    <Note>
      If the issue continues, try using a different bot. This typically resolves connectivity or synchronization problems.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do bots work in ranked modes?" defaultOpen={false}>
    No, ranked matches do not support bot lobbies. You can only play in:

    * BR Duos, Trios, Squads

    * Zero Build Duos, Trios, Squads

    This restriction maintains competitive integrity in ranked modes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I get banned for using the bots?" defaultOpen={false}>
    No, our bots are designed with safety measures to comply with Fortnite's rules. If unusual activity is detected (e.g., joining a game with real players), the bot will automatically stop functioning to ensure compliance.

    <Note>
      Our system prioritizes your account's safety, and we regularly update our bots to stay in line with Fortnite's guidelines, making our service reliable and secure.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How can I change the bot's appearance?" defaultOpen={false}>
    You can change the bot's cosmetics by typing the name of the item directly in the Fortnite chat. For example:

    The bot will instantly update its appearance, letting you customize it to your liking for a personalized experience.
  </Accordion>
