In Fortnite, it’s possible that you can drop items to other players. It doesn’t matter which mode you are playing either. You can be playing PvE (Save the World) or Pvp (Battle Royale).
Battle Royale players may wish to drop weapons or ammunition to their squad mates. You’re also able to drop other items from your inventory such as health, armour, traps and anything else you’re carrying.
In Save the World, you may wish to drop weapons so that players in your party can help defend the objectives better. You can only drop crafted weapons, not actual schematics.
Unfortunately, the main method of scamming in Save the World involves going to someones Homebase and trading weapons. After dropping your weapon, you are likely going to be kicked from the base, losing your weapon. Its recommended to keep your wits about you and be careful whilst trading.
Below, we have a quick guide for dropping items in Fortnite on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. Meanwhile, we have many more Fortnite guides covered here at PwrDown.
Dropping items in Fortnite Battle Royale
Open up your inventory by pressing the appropriate button. On PC, its ‘I’. Whilst on a controller, it varies on the preset that you are using.
Hover over the item that you wish to drop. Remember, you can drop resources, ammo, health, armour and anything else that you may be carrying. In the bottom right corner, you can see the ‘Drop’ button. Press it. On PC, it’s defaulted to X. Again, you will need to check the preset you are using on PS4 and Xbox One.
Dropping items in Fortnite Save the World
To drop items in the PvE mode of Fortnite, open up your inventory. On PC, do this by pressing the I key on your keyboard. You can see all of the items in your backpack.
To drop an item, select it. Then press the Drop button in the bottom right corner of the interface. Remember, this only drops weapons and not schematics. It’s impossible to trade schematics in the current point of the game.
