Hey Fortnite Creators,
The v16.00 update brings an improved Barrier Device, check out the details below!
Improved Barrier Device
The improved Barrier device is here and includes some updated artwork! Previously, the Barrier device was tied to the build grid, now it can be placed anywhere without needing to be anchored to prebuilt structures. The new Barrier device can be cut, copied, pasted and rotated, and is added to the quick bar rather than the trap inventory. Additionally, the Barrier provides improved scalability selections. If you need a small or large barrier, the scalability improvements will allow Creators to alter the size of the barrier before and after being placed.
Island Grid Changes
- To help creators remember which size of Grid Island is being used:
- The normal Grid Island now appears Green.
- The Large Grid Island now appears Blue.
- The Flat Grid Hub still appears Gray.
