Using Melee Designer Devices In Fortnite Creative

The Melee Designer creates customized weapons that you can use as loot that drops from enemies, or grant them to players directly using Item Spawner or Item Granter devices. The Customize panel for the Melee Designer is somewhat different from most other devices; refer to How to Use the Melee Designer below for more information.

Some ways you can customize a weapon are:

  • Change the rarity for the weapon.
  • Give the weapon a cool unique name.
  • Choose special charge attacks for the weapon, such as Ground Pound, Drill, or Whirlwind.
  • Adjust how much damage the customized weapon does to enemies or the environment with basic attacks, basic attack combos, jump attacks, or charge attacks.
  • Adjust how much knockback a basic attack, jump attack, or charge attack inflicts on an opponent.

Set up your weapon the way you want it, then use the Melee Designer to spawn as many copies as you need. Because changes made to the options in the Melee Designer affect every weapon it spawns, you can rebalance your game at any time.

For help finding the Melee Designer device, see Using Devices.
