Mounted Turret Devices | Fortnite Creative Documentation

Use the Mounted Turret device to offer players a mountable weapon with unlimited ammo.

When placed, this device is accessible to all players regardless of team affiliations.

To find the Mounted Turret device, see Using Devices.

If you're using multiple copies of a device on an island, it can be helpful to rename them. You can choose names that relate to each device's purpose, so it's easier to remember what each one does.

Contextual Filtering

Some devices are affected by a feature called contextual filtering. This feature hides or displays options depending on the values selected for certain related options. This feature will reduce clutter in the Customize panel and make options easier to manage and navigate.

However, it may not be easy to recognize which options or values trigger contextual filtering. To help you identify them, in our device docs we use italic for any values that trigger contextual filtering. All options will be listed, including those affected by contextual filtering; if they are hidden or displayed based on a specific option’s value, there will be a note about that in the Description field for that option.

Device Options

Default values are bold. Values that trigger contextual filtering are italic.
