Reminder - recreating Battle Royale season assets that aren't officially available to creators, like medallions and some weapons, is confusing for players and against our rules. Historically, this was categorized as a violation of rule 1.13 - Keep It Authentic. Starting with today's release of 36.00, this will be a violation of Island Creator Rule 1.7 - Respect IP Ownership to better align our enforcement communications and penalties with the nature of the violation.

Yes, recreating the Zapotron model (before it was added) would be a good example of the type of violation we're talking about here.
Creators are welcome to make and use their own models but copying the look of a weapon from Battle Royale or STW that isn't provided to you is against the rules. - Dan

So theoretically something like a custom stw gun (zapatron as an example as a gun that was previously used in this way) and having it on vfx would now be a violation?
I know a lot of maps that have been making their own custom weapons using things like stw models
Could you further explain examples of this rule so creators can better understand?

@FNCreate Does using exported Fortnite meshes and textures in our maps also fall under this rule?

@FNCreate Hey Dan, thanks for the clarification!
Would putting for example a pump shotgun model with different material on top of a regular pump shotgun also count as a violation of this rule? Or is it fine if it’s a vfx wrap of the gun the player is holding?
Thanks!

@FNCreate @itsEasonn Thanks for the vindication!! If only you actually enforced this sort of behavior before. Totally loved that I get attacked for calling out large creators doing this in the past 🙃

@FNCreate Nice! What about people recreating whole BR chapters/seasons? Seeing a lot of that happening at the moment again, can you clarify this position too? Originally you said we couldn't do it but then Chapter 1 was allowed but demonetised.

@PixelatedDreamz @FNCreate if the assets are available for creators and you are exporting it just for development (for example edit things that can't do on read-only assets), then you're fine

@Sprintermax @PixelatedDreamz @FNCreate yeah, I think it's just a matter of not making players think there's something in your map gameplay-wise that isn't in the game, so things like walls, textures etc are fine, weapons, items etc aren't

@itsEasonn @FNCreate I think this is mainly referring to what they said during the talk about discover moderation. In the example they stated here, it’s talking about putting unreleased items in your thumbnails

@FNCreate Hey, @FNCreate will be interesting to know for map testing.
Does this apply to graphical assets that epic have. For example, many maps now have ranking systems. Would using the battle royale ranking graphics be a violation of this rule?
