Hottest picks from Epic’s Fortnite Creative Mode Reddit AMA

Published

on

Epic Games held an AMA for Fortnite’s Creative mode on March 29th and we’ve got some of best questions and answers from the event lined up for you.

The AMA event for Fortnite’s Creative mode and its capabilities lasted about an hour on Friday, March 29th. Epic picked some of best questions from community creators and answered them to the best of their ability.

We’ve got a compilation of the most salient answers that reveal a bit more about Epic’s ideas and thoughts on the wildly successful game mode. The AMA was held on the Fortnite Creative subreddit.

Here’s a quick list of the topics below for your convenience:

  • Gravity Traps/Items
  • Save the World Props/Assets
  • Additional Islands and memory availability
  • Server Browser for Creative Mode
  • v8.20 Lighting Revert for Creative Mode
  • Vending Machines and Ziplines for Creative Mode
  • Switching Skins in middle of Creative Mode matches
  • Durr Burger and other prefab sets
  • Material/Object Recoloring and Material Switching
  • Publicly Released Creative Roadmap
  • Copy & Paste for Player Built Structures
  • Competitive Creative Mode Events

There was quite a lot of future information revealed, so let’s into what was said:

Gravity Traps/Items

u/FalconStrikeFilms – ‘Is there any chance we’ll eventually see a “gravity trap/item?” That way we can control the gravity of only specific areas in the map?’ – u/FalconStrikeFilms

Epic: ‘Yes.’

Save the World Props/Assets

Save the World mode in Fortnite

u/iScenario -‘Do you plan on bringing any Save the World props/assets to Creative? I could really use the Save the World gnomes for my Gnome Village block idea.’

Epic: ‘Gnomes would be awesome…. yeah we’ll get those in for a future patch.’

Additional Islands and memory availability

u/Joloxsa_Xenax‘Any thoughts on more available islands, and more available memory? Like 50k more?’

Epic:DarkVeil – We’ll be continually adding new islands in Fortnite updates. We’re also working on improving how you manage your islands, allowing you to rename them, save copies, and have many more saved islands than you do now. We’ll have more to share later!

As for memory, currently there are some important constraints. We’d like your creations to run well on all of the platforms Fortnite is played on, so the memory budget helps prevent crashes. But the more interesting limitation is actually on the Fortnite server. Battle Royale has many thousands of buildings, props and vehicles — but on a Creative server we may hundreds of thousands more objects loaded and simulating on the server. And these islands are totally dynamic, so no “offline optimizations” are possible.

This is actually a new problem for Fortnite (and for Unreal Engine, to a lesser extent!) We’ve been working on optimizing the servers, and you’ve probably noticed that Creative islands load much more quickly than they used to. This optimization work will continue, and we’ll reevaluate the memory limits as we go.’

Server Browser for Creative Mode

u/ricky_vespucci – ‘Will there ever be an easier way to find other players for creative sessions? Can public sessions be possible on the server browser?’

Epic: ‘DarkVeil – This is a hugely important thing for us. With the Season 8 update we expanded Playgrounds to 16 players and enabled Fill matchmaking into a hub with featured Creative content. This was only one of our first big steps to make it easier to play with others. You’ll probably see us go through a number of iterations with content sharing and discovery. We’re still figuring this out, and your feedback is very helpful!’

v8.20 Lighting Revert for Creative Mode

v8.20 brought some lighting changes with its release

u/BasketCaseBoi‘I have a question regarding a recent change with patch 8.20, is it possible to revert the recent changes made to lighting in creative?’

Epic: ‘DarkVeil – Yes, we’ve seen various reports of lighting inconsistencies, and these changes were unexpected. We’re looking into it. Very sorry about that!’

Vending Machines and Ziplines for Creative Mode

u/f4rg0‘Will custom vending machines and zip lines be added?’

Epic: ‘ZooKeeperZak – Vending Yes! Zip lines not likely they have a lot of specific gameplay and setup requirements that would be difficult to move over. We’re focusing more on things like custom vending machine and other devices that can be used in multiple ways to make games.’

Switching Skins in middle of Creative Mode matches

u/snakesonifunny‘Will there ever be the ability to change your locker during a Creative match?’

Epic: ‘DarkVeil – We really want this feature! The reason it’s a bit tricky is because the Locker interface needs some work before we’ll be able to summon it in the middle of a Creative session. This is mainly for performance and memory reasons, but also because of how the game’s menu system was originally designed. We’re pondering about how we can do it. How would you guys feel about a different sort of interface, like an Outfit “quick select” pop-up, initially?’

Durr Burger and other prefab sets

Everyone’s Favorite Fortnite Restaurant

u/LXCKDXWNX‘Will you add more Durr Burger presets?’

Epic: ‘Durr Burger and a few other Fortnite points of interest are in our backlog.’

Material/Object Recoloring and Material Switching

u/thatgodlynoob – ‘Do you think you’ll add the ability to recolour objects?’

Epic: ‘Yes this is planned. We want you to be able to change various materials and colors on props and walls. This include player-built walls. However we’re still figuring out technically how this could work so it won’t be available soon. However, some new props will have color choices available right on the object, and we’ll try to provide color variants in prefab galleries when it seems really valuable to do so.’

Publicly Released Creative Roadmap

u/goodnamelol‘So we keep hearing about this priority list, but there’s probably no chance we can see it, Right?’

Epic:We have been discussing sharing some of our roadmap with the community. We’ll see what ends up working best to create the right mix of what we know we will do vs having plans change based. At the moment we’ve defaulted to letting you guys know if it’s on the list when asked directly :)’

Copy & Paste for Player Built Structures

A Copy & Paste feature would speed up Creative building

u/Stefanbats‘Is there going to be a tool that allows us to copy and paste whole structures that have been build?’

Epic: ‘Yes! The first version of this feature is actually coming quite soon. You’ll be able to select multiple objects and copy them around. This includes props and building tiles, or combinations of both. We actually just had a discussion in the office about which button to assign the new selection feature to. Any ideas? :)’

Competitive Creative Mode Events

u/ShalevB‘Is there gonna be any kind of competitive creative? Do you have any more information about the creative in the world cup?’

Epic: ‘Maybe… (included a link to the Fortnite World Cup Trailer)’


Wooh, that’s a lot of info on Creative. There’s even more information about all types of questions relating to Creative mode on the Reddit page for the AMA. The above is the hottest picks from the bunch in our opinions.

Be sure to check out the Reddit page for all the info that Epic expunged today about Creative mode.

How to get the Dish Destroyer pickaxe in Fortnite Season 3

Another exclusive pickaxe arrives to Fortnite in Season 3 and it sure looks quite different. Here’s how you can get it.

Dish Destroyer Pickaxe in Fortnite

The Dish Destroyer pickaxe is another free cosmetic you can get in Chapter 3 Season 3 if you haven’t already. Here’s how to get the pickaxe right into your locker.

Fortnite players sure love freebies that the developers give them away each season. From a free Refer-A-Friend skin to a slurpy back bling that you can get upon completing quests, players have faithfully completed every task that Epic has asked them to claim the free reward.

However, over the course of several seasons now, getting these freebies is starting to feel too much work to some players. Epic continues to add away free content, but players are asked to put in the work in order to claim these rewards.

This time around, there’s a new item on the block, The Dish Destroyer Pickaxe, which you can get in Fortnite now by doing a few simple steps. Here’s how you can get it in Season 3.

Get the Dish Destroyer Pickaxe in Fortnite now

Nvidia’s cloud gaming platform GeForce Now was launched earlier this year when players were able to stream Fortnite on any device if they were a member of the service. This also allowed iOS users to stream the game on their phones despite the Apple vs. Epic lawsuit.

In a recent tweet, Nvidia announced that Fortnite players will be able to redeem a free Dish Destroyer Pickaxe if they stream Fortnite on their GeForce Now enabled devices until August 4, 2022. Players who are members of the exclusive service will only be able to redeem this for free in-game.

However, in another announcement, Epic told its player base that the pickaxe is not exclusive to GeForce Now but will also be available in the Item Shop at a later date. This means that those who aren’t able to redeem the free pickaxe using their GeForce Now memberships will have a chance to buy it using V-Bucks in the Item Shop.

The cost of the pickaxe has not been revealed as of yet as players believe that it will be released once the limited window of August 4 for GeForce Now members have expired. As soon as we get any news on its Item Shop release, we’ll be sure to update this article.


GeForce Now players have had the perks of free rewards ever since the service allowed players to experience the thrill of Fortnite anywhere on their devices. Falling in line is XCloud’s gaming service which has become extremely popular amongst Xbox players.

Fortnite players call on Epic Games to fix Loot Chests bug in Season 3

As the latest Fortnite Season 3 update brought players a No Sweat Summer, it left a weird bug in the game where players are getting empty loot chests. Here’s the latest on that.

Loot Chests in Fortnite

Fortnite players have finally given up on the game due to its never-ending glitches and bugs that affect their overall gameplay experience. The latest glitch in the game is teleporting chest loot to a different location, and it’s getting pretty annoying for players.

Player feedback is one of the many things Epic takes very seriously that it aims to fix in every major weekly update or minor hotfixes from time to time. Often there are times when these bugs can get pretty annoying as they affect the overall gameplay experience for the player.

Fortnite players have seen bugs ranging from being stuck under the map or taking fall damage after jumping off a launch pad. From pros to content creators, each one of them took to social media to call on the developers to “fix the game”.

However, a recent update, v21.30, left a bug that has tested the patience of every Fortnite player active this season – potentially the most annoying Fortnite bug of all time. Here’s everything we know about it so far.

Fortnite bug teleports chests loots to other locations

A strange Fortnite bug that is going viral right now on social media is the Loot Chests bug. It all began when Epic added the update v21.30 and introduced players to this year’s summer event, No Sweat Summer.

The update also saw the addition of Prime Shotgun which is considered to be the best shotgun in Chapter 3. While all the additions are fascinating and exciting to the players, the bug the update left in the game is still haunting players who are failing to win a game like they used to.

The bug, as shown in the clip above, teleports the chest loot to a nearby location outside if a player opens a chest box inside a building. This is pretty annoying as it doesn’t let the player farm loot fast as they usually would while landing on a hot drop.

Players have already started uploading their clips of the loot chest bug and are calling out the game to come out and fix this issue. This bug also creates double the work for those players who like to play a fast-paced Battle Royale match.

Joining in the conversation are a few FNCS players who feel that this bug might cost them several games where they would end up losing on a major competitive level. The entire community has joined hands together to ask the developers to fix the game at the earliest.

While Fortnite has not addressed this issue on their social media handles or on the Trello board could also mean that players in higher ping regions might be the only ones experiencing the bug. However, the player base is still keeping their hopes high to get these issues fixed as soon as possible.


As bugs and glitches continue to add to several issues Fortnite is filled with, events like No Sweat Summer keep the community excited for more in-game content and freebies that they can get. The challenges for No Sweat Summer are live in-game now and players can redeem their share of rewards upon completing them.

Fortnite introduces the new Prime Shotgun in update v21.30

Prime Shotgun is the latest game breaking weapon that has been added to Fortnite in v21.30. Here’s all about the new shotgun.

Prime Shotgun in Fortnite

Prime Shotgun is another addition to Fortnite this season in terms of weaponry that has been added to the game. Here is all about the latest shotgun that was introduced in v21.30 and what players think of it.

Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 3 has been a joyride for both OG and new players alike. The new mechanics, the reality bloom spreading everywhere, and the addition of new weapons to the game have kept the community satisfied so far.

However, during the beginning of Chapter 3, the shotgun meta was deemed to be the worst shotguns the game had added to the game. The Striker Pump, Ranger, and Auto Shotguns were weapons that players had deemed incompetent to other shotguns in Fortnite.

Much so, even the newly released Two Shot Shotgun couldn’t impress the players with its faster fire rate and damage. So, Epic decided to throw a new shotgun into the mix to seek player reactions and improve the messed-up shotguns in-game.

Prime Shotgun is the new community favorite shotgun in Fortnite

Prime Shotgun was added in the latest update v21.30 to the unvaulted weapons arsenal in Fortnite. The shotguns were the second one introduced to the player base apart from the Two-Shot shotgun.

It holds 4 bullets in a clip and promises heavy damage on the first shot fired from a fully loaded clip. The 3 shots that follow inflict lower damage than that of the first one.

When a player reloads the shotgun, 3 blue dots appear on the gun with the red dot being the first shot being loaded. This brings back the memories of the infamous “One Shot Meta” from the OG days when the community used to perform using a Pump Shotgun.

Pros like NickEh30 sang high praise of the Prime Shotgun as the weapon contains elements of the OG pump in terms of range, accuracy, and firepower. Other pros like SypherPK & Ninja also commented their thoughts on the gun which were highly positive.
