Prop Disguise is a Game Mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 9. It is used to disguise the player as a prop, to hide them from opponents.
Functionality[]
Prop Disguising allows the player to transform into a prop, in which they can move, swim and jump as normal, but cannot build, use items or access vehicles. Players cannot Emote either, and attempting to use Glider Redeploy will disable the disguise. As a prop, the player can also use the alternate fire button (Aim Button) to rest on a surface, and sit naturally on it.
Disguises can be disrupted by:
- Receiving Damage (Aside from use by the Prop-O-Matic).
- Attempting Glider Redeploy.
- Opening Containers.
- Manually picking up items, or those which are not picked up normally without the Auto Pickup option enabled.
- Being abducted into The Mothership.
- Manually removing the disguise.
