Walker NPC Template Overview

A horde of deadly Walkers from The Walking Dead Universe are shambling their way into Fortnite islands. Use the Walker NPC learning template in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) to meet this enemy type and learn how to incorporate them in the level design of your islands for unique experiences. The template includes billboards, switches, and gameplay examples for in-editor learning.

Use this guide as a companion to the template to dive deeper into the following:

• Walker NPC setup
• Weapons gameplay
• Level design scenarios with Walker NPCs
• Camera choices
• Plug-and-play custom UI for health and selected weapon
• Heavy Linework post-process effect

Getting Started

To access the template, follow these steps:

1. Open UEFN.
2. In the Project Browser, select Brand Templates > The Walking Dead Universe > Walker NPC.
3. Create a new project.

The Walker NPC template is only available in UEFN. However, you can access general grid islands for The Walking Dead Universe and its feature set in Fortnite Creative. To create the Walker NPC, you must use UEFN to access the NPC Spawner device and NPC Character Definition.
