How to Equip and Use The Force Power in Fortnite Creative Mode

Introduction

The Force power is a special ability that allows players to manipulate objects and other players in Fortnite Creative mode. It mimics the iconic Force abilities from Star Wars, letting you push, pull, and throw things with your mind. Equipping and using the Force power can be very fun and opens up lots of gameplay possibilities. This guide will teach you everything you need to know.

Enabling the Force Power

The first step is to enable the Force power in your island settings. Here’s how:

  1. Open up your phone or inventory menu and select “My Island”
  2. Go to the “Island Settings” tab
  3. Scroll down and enable the setting called “Allow Force Power”

This will allow players in your map to acquire and use the Force power.

Acquiring the Force Power

Players can acquire the Force power in one of two ways:

Power-Up Device

  • Place a Power-Up Device from the devices menu somewhere on your island
  • Customize the type to “Force Power” in the device settings
  • When a player collects the power-up, they will gain the Force power for a limited time

Class Designer

  • Use the Class Designer device to create a custom class
  • Enable the “Force Power” setting for that class
  • Set class spawners around your map and have players spawn with that class to start with the Force power

Both options work well! The Power-Up method allows it to be a temporary power-up while the Class method makes it more of a permanent ability.

Using the Force Power

Once a player has the Force power enabled, they can use it with the following controls:

  • Aim at an object or player target
  • Press and hold the secondary fire button (right trigger on controllers by default)
  • This will lift and move the target. Move your aim to move the target.
  • Releasing the button will launch the target in the direction you are aiming

Here are some tips for using the Force power effectively:

  • You can manipulate props, buildings, and even other players
  • Bigger/heavier objects require more time to lift and move
  • Launching targets at walls or floors will damage/destroy them
  • Headshots with launched targets do extra damage
  • Use it to build makeshift bridges, access hard to reach places, or just mess with your friends!

Customizations

There are a number of options you can tweak to customize the Force power mechanics:

  • Max Force Targets: How many objects can be manipulated at once
  • Force Strength: Adjust the mass limits for movable objects
  • Force Refill Time: How quickly the power regenerates after use
  • Force Expiration: How long the power lasts before needing to be reacquired

Experiment with these to achieve the gameplay you want!

Extra Ideas

  • Design puzzles and parkour around the Force power
  • Make only certain classes or teams allowed to use the Force
  • Hide cool secrets that require the Force to access
  • Use devices to trigger events when targets are launched

There is a lot you can do with this fun mechanic!

Troubleshooting

If the Force power does not seem to be working properly, double check these:

  • The setting is enabled in My Island > Island Settings
  • Players have acquired the power via a power-up or class spawner
  • The player has full health & shield (it consumes both while used)
  • Game is set to public with Allow Building turned off

Conclusion

Learning to equip and use the Force power can greatly expand your creative island-building and gameplay options. Use it to create fun new experiences for you and your friends! Let us know what cool ideas you come up with.
