Hey everyone,

Thanks for joining us last week on Thursday for the Fortnite Creative AMA on Reddit. We enjoyed fielding the community's burning questions and giving some insight into Creative's future. If you weren’t able to join us, we’ve got a full recap of all the questions and answers below.

When will we get fishing rods / motorboats in creative?
A: They are on the list to be added as soon as we can get water working in the way we feel works for creative. We’re not sure on the exact timing yet.

Are there any plans for prop merging?
A: We’re talking about solutions to allow creators to create their own prefabs, setting up the quickbar to save between sessions is the first step towards this work. Longer...

The focus of this Community Spotlight is on MackJackTwitch, who has been working in Creative since December when the mode first launched. If the name MackJackTwitch sounds familiar, it may be because it was her that created the featured hub in Fortnite last week. Let’s get started! 

Fortnite Team: What is your favorite Creative Mode creation?

MackJackTwitch: My favorite would have to be the map I just completed with my building partner Ritual. It's a Halloween mini game called Bobbing for Apples. I am so in love with every part of it.
