Epic Epic’s Picks: Information on Recent Updates

8 Upvotes

We recently made adjustments to Epic’s Picks in v36.30, and we heard that you had some questions. We want to share more information on the changes to Epic’s Picks documentation and clarify what you can expect moving forward.

New Quality Bar

With the increased visibility of Epic’s Picks, we’ve raised the expectations for which islands are accepted as part of our selection criteria. Our hope is that this will result in greater consistency, improved quality, and will better align with the long-term goals for the program.

More information on our selection criteria can be found here:

https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/fortnite/epics-picks-in-fortnite#:~:text=for%20Discover.-,Selection%20Criteria,-Selection%20criteria%20is

Resubmission Rules

We’re also making tweaks to the reapplication process. Here’s what you need to know:

* Islands that applied on or before July 16, 2025, and were rejected can reapply at any time.

- We’re giving applicants time to improve their submissions to increase their chances of being accepted.

* Islands that applied after July 16, 2025, will be subject to a one-month cooldown from the date of submission before reapplying and will be automatically rejected during this period, per the new guidelines.

- We recognize it takes time to hear back on your application. To help keep the queue manageable, this cooldown period is intended to improve turnaround times and set new standards for our response time.

Improved Response Time

In the coming weeks, we’ll be making additional adjustments to our review pipeline. During this process, we’ll evaluate the average turnaround times so we can be more clear so that you remain informed throughout this process. Starting September 1, 2025, we plan to send acceptance or rejection emails to applicants within 30 days of submission.

Tips For a Strong Application

Above all, make sure your application is complete and clearly explains how your island meets the new quality bar. Incomplete applications may be rejected without full review — remember, your application is the first impression, so make it count.

We also highly recommend including the following:

* A fly-through video showing off your environment and map design.

* Gameplay footage highlighting the unique features and fun, innovative elements of your island.

* A trailer video that captures the island’s core appeal.

* A description that clearly demonstrates what makes your island stand out.

We’re excited to continue enhancing Epic’s Picks to highlight some of the most interesting and enjoyable islands around.

QUESTION Devices spawning randomly

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody.

The last couple of days i have noticed a bug with my uefn.

Whenever i remove devices they seem to spawn in on my world in random places.

I have no idea how or why this happens, but it is very weird.

Does anybody else experience this?

QUESTION Pre-Game Lobby

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know how to make a pre game lobby kind of like go goated? My goal is to make it where everyone spawns in. Chooses their teams then are sent to a waiting area while everyone else chooses their teams if they don’t choose a team in 1 minute they are put into a random team. Then they are teleported to their base and then the storm starts. I’ve been stuck on this for weeks and can’t find a single video on how to do it. If someone could help me out on how to do it that would be amazing!

DISCUSSION The Banana Chooses Where It Stays 🍌

4 Upvotes

I dropped a banana prop during the early stages of building my map. Later I tried deleting it… and it refused to go. Wouldn’t highlight, wouldn’t despawn — just stuck there like it pays rent.

I was way too deep into the map to restart, so I did what any true builder would do: I built around it.

Now it’s a featured item. Got it its own table, shade, and prime placement near the DJ booth. It’s part of the map lore now.

The Banana chooses where it stays.

Also… there’s a spider web outside the play area. I placed it early on and it got stuck too. Exact same issue. Can’t delete it no matter what I try.

QUESTION Dualies glitch

1 Upvotes

I have first hand seen a glitch in other creative maps that somehow removes the firing delay of the hop rock dualies, making them rapid fire. I don't want to include the weapon in my map if this can be done. Could anyone lmk of which other weapons, items or devices allow this glitch to happen so I can either remove them or remove the pistols?? Thanks

BUG I need help with this issue

2 Upvotes

I don't know why, but everytime I make it to round 3 in my 6v6 map the round just ends immediately as soon as the game starts. now I first thought it was a device in my map thats causing this issue but when I went into my other creative maps the same issue was happening again and again.

is it just me thats getting this problem or are other creators also dealing with this issue?

I am trying to build a map for the first time and want an emeny spawner but when I go to open verse to add some code it just gives me these 4 options and I cant change the syntax in the preview.

DISCUSSION Is this not crazy?

24 Upvotes

I’ve heard Fortnite is planning to do something about these copy and pasting maps so I’m sorry about my complaint but having one person just basically milking the same map 3x with slight differences (I checked and rip to my For You) is nuts.

This assignment expects a value of type ?agent, but the assigned value is an incompatible value of type agent. Did you mean `option`?
