The Fortnite Creative v21.20 update brings the Charge SMG into Creative! Also, the Baller Vehicle Spawner has some new options, making Ballers work like the updated Baller in Battle Royale. There's also a new island template, and some new Prefabs and Galleries too.
Charge SMG
The Charge SMG is a burst style SMG that fires when the trigger is released. The longer the trigger is held, the longer the burst. The Charge SMG is available in all rarities (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic).
Ripsaw Launcher and Firework Flare Gun
In case you missed it, the Ripsaw Launcher and Firework Flare Gun were both recently added into Creative! Rip through clutter and make a scene with the dazzling Firework Flare Gun and Ripsaw Launcher.
Baller Spawner Device Update
The Baller now has a default health of 400, so it can take more hits before being destroyed. There's a new option, Grappler Range, that you can use to increase or decrease the distance someone can grapple to while in the Baller. If you don't want players to worry about fuel/energy use in your island, the Has Infinite Energy option can be set to On!
Hub Changes
We are introducing a new Hub layout that focuses on giving you a place to showcase your artistic skills. To accomplish this, we have removed matchmaking portals and featured rifts. Instead, there are now 8 player rifts so you can continue creating and playing in private parties. There is also one Creator Showcase map selected by the Hub creator.

Did fortnite remove creative fills hub? I just noticed that u can't load into a creative fills lobby anymore with random people? So is the creative tab now only for u and your friends?
An issue with the recent Fortnite update that I share with many other players. I’ve been playing the game for years and have always enjoyed the creative hub, where you set portals and can meet new people in the lobby to play with. Many of my friends don’t play so much anymore, so this has been a great way for me to make friends and meet new people in the game.
Unfortunately, in the recent update, Epic disabled this portal feature and instead use a skill-based matchmaking service where we can no longer meet people in the creative hub and continue to play with them in different modes and worlds. I have tried to enjoy the matchmaking, but it’s full of people who are far too good for me to enjoy the game and I can’t even make any friends to play with anymore. Several of my friends that I met through the hub also have stopped playing the game due to this. It’s really upsetting, as this is the only mode I enjoy playing recently.
I hope Epic plans on returning the hub and portal feature, so long-time players like myself can continue to enjoy the game. From what I understand, many people have stopped playing due to this change.
I, for one, will likely not play anymore. Which is sad, since I’ve enjoyed the game for so long and have consistently played for years.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Would love to hear the community’s thoughts on this recent change and what alternatives they suggest.
I would suggest an update in creative mode allowing both the portal and matchmaking services, enabling players who prefer either to enjoy the game.
EDIT: We continued this discussion in response to Epic’s comment below. Some interesting thoughts there that I would love to hear the community add to.
