I f youve played Fortnite before, you know that
creativity is a big part of the game. Players get to

unique creations to their friends. They also spend a lot

of time building forts and other structures as they play.
But while creativity is important in the action-packed
Save the World and Battle Royale modes of Fortnite , it
is not the main goal. Players must instead focus their
attention on defending themselves and defeating
enemies. But what if they just want to relax and enjoy
the more constructive parts of the game?
As Fortnite s popularity grew, many players began
asking for a more relaxed mode where they could
experiment with the games building system. In late
2018, Fortnite s developers responded by adding a
UNOFFICIAL GUIDES
major new update called Creative mode to the game.
Creative mode is exactly what it sounds like: a mode
that lets players focus on building and creating within
the wacky world of Fortnite . In Creative mode, you
can take all the time you need to perfect your build
ings. You dont have to worry about surprise attacks
from enemies. You also get unlimited building materi
als. You even get access to special building tools that
arent available in the games other modes.
Creative mode lets players build levels that are
unlike anything on the main Fortnite island.

island.
This means Creative mode will allow you to build
the Fortnite world youve always dreamed of. You get
an entire island to design and customize exactly how
you want. You can build castles, pyramids, military
bases, and much more. You could build a bunch of
buildings to make your own city. Or, you could create
one huge building with many floors, exits, and hidden
rooms. Its all up to you.

making your own Fortnite game modes. You can adjust
the rules and settings of the game world to make your

can invite your friends to try it out. You can decide
where different weapons and other loot will show up,
or whether there will be any vehicles on the map. Or
you can simply build a fun location for your friends to
explore.
If you create something really cool, it might even

Careers in Game Design
If you enjoy creating new levels and game modes for your friends to play in Creative
mode, you might have a future as a professional game developer. Game developers
usually work together in teams. It can take hundreds of people to make a big blockbuster
game. On the other hand, a smaller indie game can be created by just a handful of
people. Some games are even created by lone developers who do everything themselves.
Each person on a development team usually specializes in one type of work. For
example, some people focus on designing levels. Others create 3D graphics or write
code . Musicians, actors, writers, and many others can all play important roles in
creating games too. No matter what youre good at, there is probably a place for you in
the world of video games.

the world could explore your creation!
Creative mode is free for all Fortnite players to
enjoy. To get started, all you need to do is select it from
the main menu that appears when you load up Fortnite
on your game console, computer, or mobile device.
When you first start playing this mode, you might be
overwhelmed with all the options. But once you dig in
and start building, youll become a master in no time.

portal will lead to your new Creative mode island. The
other four lead to Creative mode islands that were
built by other players. These are featured creations.
Youll see different ones as you come back to the hub
at different times. Feel free to try them out if you want
to get a look at the cool things other players have
created.

than the main Battle Royale island. It is also mostly
empty. This is good, because youll need plenty of
space to start building things!
Land wherever you like. Take a look around. This is
