Devices
Steps to Reproduce
- Open UEFN 2.0.
- Try to search for the Melee Designer (the device available in Creative 1.0).
- Notice that it does not exist in the current UEFN device list.
Expected Result
The Melee Designer (or an equivalent melee customization tool) should be available in UEFN 2.0 so creators can modify melee weapons’ damage, energy cost, and abilities as in Creative 1.0.
Observed Result
There is currently no way to customize melee weapons in UEFN 2.0.
Creators are forced to use Verse code to simulate what the Melee Designer did, which is very complex and limits creative freedom.

Additional Notes
Dear Epic Games team,
I would like to make a sincere request: please add the Melee Designer tool to UEFN 2.0.
My main project is a medieval role-play map, where melee weapons are at the very core of the gameplay. In Creative 1.0, the Melee Designer made it possible to easily customize swords and hammers — changing their damage, energy cost, charge attacks, and special effects. It was a simple, visual, and powerful tool.
In UEFN 2.0, this option no longer exists. The only way to achieve similar results is by using code, which is extremely complex and confusing for me. I’ve tried, but I get lost quickly. Without a tool like the Melee Designer, I’m completely blocked and can’t rebuild the combat system that defines my world.
I currently have around fifteen melee weapon variants, all created in Creative 1.0 thanks to the Melee Designer. My players are waiting for the 2.0 version of the map, but I can’t reproduce the same gameplay without this tool.
If the Melee Designer (or an equivalent melee customization system) could be added to UEFN 2.0, it would give creators like me the freedom to continue developing our worlds naturally, without being stopped by complex coding.
Thank you for reading, and for all the work you do for the creator community.
Gros Primate.
Map Creator.
