Island Trailers in Fortnite Discover

New: Guard Spawner

The Guard Spawner shares a lot in common with the Creature Spawner, so if you’re used to working with Fiends you’ll get to grips with Guards in no time at all. 

• Choose from 8 different Guard skins.
• Drop a compatible weapon or consumable on the Guard Spawner to have the Guards from that spawner equip it.  
  • Add multiple items to have the Guards select randomly from the available pool.
  • Use the Guard filter on the weapon and consumable inventory screens to find which items are compatible with the Guard Spawner.
• Control patrol radius around the spawner.
• Assign Guards to teams.
• Adjust many of their attributes, including awareness, accuracy and health.
• The maximum number of Guards which can be active is 30 – this is a separate limit from the limits for Fiends and Animals.
• Several other devices including the Elimination Manager and Mutator Zone have been updated to allow them to interact properly with Guards.

As a bonus, here are some tips from our design team:

• Friendly Fire settings affect Guards as well as players, so be careful with them!
• Sneaky Snowman, Creeping Cardboard and other hideables will allow players to avoid being spotted… as long as they don’t move when the Guards are watching!
• Avoid placing the spawner on very uneven ground or in places where pathfinding is likely to be an issue.
• Avoid spawning too many Guards in a small radius since this could adversely affect performance on some platforms as well as cause pathfinding problems.
• When Patrol settings are turned off, Guards will act like sentries – but they will move when they spot someone or when they engage in combat.

Known Issues: Guard eliminations are not currently tracked properly by the Tracker device.

NEW: Supply Drop Spawner

Epic Games have added a new device to let you create your own Supply Drops with a whole host of configuration options. Now you can rain gifts down on your players for them to rejoice over or fight over – your choice!

• Add your own selection of items.
• Configure where and how often it drops.
• Add class and team restrictions.
• Extensive trigger/receiver support.
