Using Heavy Turret Devices in Fortnite Creative | Fortnite Documentation

The Heavy Turret is a ground-based version of the turret on the Armored Battle Bus. You can place these devices around your island for players to use to eliminate vehicles, NPCs, or other players.

For help on how to find the Heavy 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.
