What’s new in Fortnite’s Creative Mode thanks to the v21.30 Update

What was changed in Fortnite’s Creative Mode with the v21.30 update?

Fortnite is trying to keep the game as motivated and up-to-date as possible while they wait for the next season to begin. The game’s third season of Chapter 3 isn’t expected to end for nearly three more months, concluding sometime around the start of October, and while big things like a re-worked creative mode and first-person gameplay is being hinted at, the game has largely disappointed during the summer months to keep things fresh and new.

Did the v21.30 update help with the Creative Mode? No, not really.

Yet, it did introduce some new changes. Firstly the Prime Shotgun has been added to the Creative Mode, as was the new Player Marker option. You can also now select new locations, like Deserted Fortress the WAterfall Gallery, and the Cuddle Tree Prop Gallery for your creative maps.

The new Player Marker option will now allow you to display information about the player. Things like the nameplate, health, shield, resources and etc can now be displayed over their heads if you so wish. It will even track how far away they are from you in the game. Not only that but you can edit the icons on the marker while being visible on the main map and mini-map as well.
