Fortnite Season 7 crafting guide

Before we jump into all the new weapons and features crafting brings in Season 7, it is always good to take a quick refresher into what crafting is within Fortnite.

Basically, players will be able to find materials around the map by destroying materials, and eliminating. These materials are used for creating new and powerful weapons during a Fortnite match. Last season, Animal Bones and Mechanical Parts were the materials players need to craft items; but this time around we are centered on Nuts and Bolts.

2. Collect Nuts and Bolts from around the map

4. Select the weapon you would like to upgrade at the bottom of the tab

What weapons can I craft?

This time around there are no Primal or Makeshift weapons for players to craft, but some fan-favorite weapons have made a return and are going to be ready to craft when you find these Nuts and Bolts.

Players will be able to craft the following weapons.

• Burst Assault Rifle’s and AUGS
• Lever Action Shotgun
• Rapid Fire SMG

It appears that all of these weapons will only take one Nut and Bolt to craft at the time, and this might be due to the fact that these weapons are not overly powerful compared to a Pump Shotgun for example.
