Summary

The Melee Designer is nowhere to be found, despite being documented here (see Link [1]). I can find the Melee Designer using Creative 1.0 through the Fortnite Launcher but I cannot find it in either UEFN or a Live Session via UEFN.

Steps to Reproduce

Neither in UEFN nor in a Live Session is any device like the Melee Designer to be found. Searching “Melee Designer” gives no results in creative content browser even though the documentation does not state anything about the Melee Designer not being available in UEFN.

Expected Result

Since the documentation exists for the melee designer, I expect there to be a device with that name and functionality. (see Link [1])

Hey @HootyTooty
I’m pretty sure the Melee Designer Device is only available in Fortnite Creative. However, you could create your own melee class using the class selector device in UEFN.

Hey @Atep23
Thank you for helping!

I am wondering why the Melee Designer Device is not in UEFN. Will it be supported at some point? Will it never be supported and why not)?

Unfortunately, after looking through the class designer device features, I don’t think that similar funtionality as the Melee Designer is achievable here. I am looking for something like the Melee Designer that allows for Melee Weapon customization, setting attack patterns, dmg, knockback and things like that. The class designer device is not offering that fnctionality as far as I understand.

I am also having the same problem. I can’t find this device in creative or UEFN and it’s frustrating because I see the functionality being used in other islands.

The status of FORT-783289 incident has been moved from ‘Needs Triage’ to ‘Closed’. Resolution Reason: ‘Won’t Do’

it has never been available in uefn but it has also been broken in 1.0 for about a year

Posted in another thread: The melee designer is not supported in UEFN and will be replaced at a later date with a better solution.
