How did the weapon get granted to the player ? You have to track that and find the relevant item remover for the current weapon. (if it’s trackable)

Thank you for you reply!  
So I need to make the array of all the weapon and track and remove using the number?  
There is no way to detect or remove the weapon player holding in UEFN currently?

You could also use the `conditional_button.IsHoldingItem[]` method

```auto
# Returns if the `Agent` is currently holding the item stored at `KeyItemIndex`.
IsHoldingItem<public>(Agent:agent, KeyItemIndex:int)<transacts><decides>:void

```

Once you find the index, you could call `conditional_button.SetItemCountRequired(Index, 1)` and then `conditional_button.Activate(Agent)` the button needs to consume items. (finally you reset the button by calling `conditional_button.SetItemCountRequired(Index, 0)`)

Problem with this is that `conditional_buttons` can only contain 3 items, so you’d need to do this many times

I also never done this so I’m not sure if it would work 🤷

Using [Item Remover Devices](https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/fortnite-creative/using-item-remover-devices-in-fortnite-creative) seems like the easiest way to remove weapons from the player’s inventory. You have the option to configure the device, for example to only remove weapons, leaving consumable items in the player’s inventory, you would set the “Affected Objects” to “Weapons”. Alternatively, you can populate the device with an array of the specific types of items you would like to remove from the player’s inventory.
