Fortnite Sidekicks are now available as scriptable NPCs in UEFN—Publishing opens July 23. Script their behavior with Verse, customize their look, and even bring a player’s own Sidekick into your experience!
New Custom Weapon Templates give you control over how Pistols, SMGs, Assault Rifles, and Shotguns look, sound, and play. Plus, experimental mobile tools bring touch controls and gesture support, so your games can feel at home on mobile.
Additional updates include Skeletal Animation with Scene Graph (experimental), Live events support in Fortnite Communities, and more STAR WARS characters in the Hero device.
You’ll also find new Latte Landing and Plumpton prefabs and galleries, and new weapons including the Vanguard Burst Rifle, Extending Focus Shotgun, Chaos Exploder Rifle, and three new Exotics.
