— In-Game Description

The Defender Post is a Rare Trap in Fortnite: Save the World that can be used to spawn a Defender. It can be obtained by completing the Rescue the Survivors Main Quest in the Stonewood Campaign.

Functionality

Functionality[]

Interacting with a Defender Post displays a list of Defenders owned by the player. Selecting one prompts the player to select a Weapon and its corresponding Ammo based on the Defender's class. Defender Post Schematics cannot be upgraded.

  • Defender Posts can only be placed on fully built player floor tiles, provided there are no obstructions.
  • Defenders patrol a 3x3x3 tile area centered on the Defender Post, as long as there are no obstacles in their path.
  • Defenders can be summoned in any standard mission, but they are removed for each additional player—meaning a full team leaves no room for Defenders.
    • In 4-player missions, however, up to 4 Defenders can be deployed regardless of the number of players.
  • A player can summon up to 3 Defenders max. The 4th one has to be placed by a teammate, if need be.
  • This limit cannot be upgraded, and does not apply to Storm Shield Defenses, where a different, upgradeable Storm Shield Defender limit is applied.
