It's a concept that's gained traction outside of Fortnite recently. And now it's promoting a mode created by other developers which is based on a popular mod where players pretend to be objects. It's profitable dancing emotes are based on the real world dances of black artists, but doesn't credit them. The game itself started as cooperative shooter, and became one of the most popular games in the world only after it copied the battle royale formula popularized by PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds and other games in the genre. It's also important to note that Fortnite has a history of just using ideas created by other people. The general idea of the mode has been around for longer than that, though, but it worked especially well in Garry’s Mod, since the game is so friendly to modders. Prop Hunt really took off with Garry’s Mod in 2013, created by a modder named ⁠Andrew Theis, known as AMT online-but now it’s probably got its biggest stage in Fortnite. The idea behind Prop Hunt was originally popularized as a mode of Garry’s Mod, itself a mod of Half-Life 2 that got its own standalone release in 2006. Epic listed StrayKite’s Support-A-Creator code at the end of its blog post: “StrayKite,” naturally. Creators earn $5 for every 10,000 V-Bucks- Fortnite’s in-game currency-spent by players who enter the creator name when spending money. Creators don’t typically earn money directly from being a featured island, but Epic does have its “ Support-A-Creator” program that lets players show support for creators. The code is, essentially, a key to let players into the game mode, so they don’t have to go searching around the thousands of islands in the Creative section of the game. Epic Games also added a new weapon, the “Prop-O-Matic,” which is in the creative mode, to allow players to make their own Prop Hunt games. The new, Prop Hunt island can hold up to 15 players using the code 6069-9263-9110 in Fortnite.

Fortnite creators can submit their islands to Epic for review-if they’re chosen, they’ll be considered a “featured island” and promoted in-game. The mode has a bunch of tools that allow users to customize their own personal islands, then share them with the community. Fortnite’s Prop Hunt is a featured island in the game’s Creative mode, produced by a developer team at StrayKite Studios.Ĭreative mode in Fortnite was added to the game in mid-December, and gives players the ability to create their own custom islands.
