Introduced	December 2014 (Alpha Test 1) July 2017 (Early Access)

Crafting is one of the core mechanics in Fortnite: Save the World. It allows players to craft Weapons by using Crafting Materials that they have harvested and collected.

Each weapon is associated with a specific crafting recipe. As weaponry and traps are upgraded, the next tier of that weapon's materials must be used. Every weapon of a given rarity has a distinct recipe.

How to Craft

Players must navigate to the Backpack in the Frontend Menu or in the Inventory menu in-game. By selecting the left column, players can find and choose the item they wish to craft. Typically, most weapons are crafted at their current level, but there is also an option to craft them at a lower tier.

As of Update v10.20, the time required to craft a weapon or trap has been standardized as follows:

• Weapons craft in 5 seconds.
• Traps craft in 3 seconds.
• Ammo crafts in 2 seconds.
• Crafted Ingredients (Blast Powder and Duct Tape) in 0.5 seconds.
