Now that we have a working version of the Zapper Trap in Fortnite via OG Fortnite, it’s finally time to fix the Zapper Trap and add it back into the Creative inventory.
The Zapper Trap does not work at all. Throwing it against something will just make the projectile slide across the ground. It is also hidden from the Creative inventory so it cannot be spawned in.

Steps to Reproduce
Go to the Creative Inventory.
Observe that the Zapper Trap is nowhere to be found (it’s hidden via a tag).
Spawn it in anyways.
Throw it at anything.
Observe that the projectile bounces off of everything and slides across the ground.
Expected Result
The Zapper Trap can be spawned from the Creative inventory at anytime and spawns a trap when thrown at anything.
Observed Result
The Zapper Trap cannot be spawned from the Creative inventory and dies across the ground when thrown at anything.
Hi @Chompster86 - I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but we’re going to move this to a feature request as there are no plans at this time to add the Zapper trap to the Creative inventory.
But this isn’t a request to add something that isn’t in Creative/UEFN. It’s in the inventory, it’s just hidden due to a bug it has that makes it stop working. On a Creative Island I have I can still get it via a Vending Machine device. This is a bug report on the issue of it not functioning. I mentioned it being hidden so whoever would fix it wouldn’t forget to remove that tag.
I reposted this bug report because the OG version was just released and that versions works perfectly. I am not asking to add the OG version, I’m saying that the OG version could be used to fix the broken one that is currently in Creative/UEFN.
I don’t understand this at all because it’s technically still in the inventory already, it’s just bugged? this item has been broken for ages and people have wanted it back. can we at least get an explanation for why it’s not being re-added?
This genuinely doesn’t make sense though? It is still obtainable in Creative and is still to this day in old islands but does not function, this is by all means a bug, even if no changes are planned it IS a bug??? This is not a feature request???
Hey, I understand why this is being thought as a feature (either add the working OG one or add the other one with a fix), as it implies to add an item that is not available in the creative tab at the moment, I get it.
But the key difference here is that this item already exist, is (or was) already a feature in published islands and therefore, it should be treated as a bug. This is just my opinion (well other people thinks the same), but even if is not seen like that, we already had a case like this in the past, the Heavy Shotgun, which was hidden from the inventory when the revamped/1 pellet version was added.
Some people wanted the old piercing version of the Heavy Shotgun that was only available on vending machines (which is ironic, since the one that we have now doesn’t pierce enemies), so, in a request of it returning to the inventory on the Bug Reports, it came back as the OG version.
So, why can’t that be done with the Zapper Trap? It works.
(It still has the same issues)
