The new Prop-ifier in Fortnite patch 17.30
What kind of item is this? The new item that was secretly added and then disabled is called Prop-ifier. With this item, you can transform into various objects, thereby gaining a playful advantage. Whether it’s a doghouse or a vase, the Prop-ifier offers all that and much more.
The Twitter account FortniteBRFeed highlighted the new weapon with a video. Just a few hours after it was revealed that the device had secretly made its way into Fortnite, it was removed again. At 14:57, the Twitter account of FortniteBRFeed pointed out that the Prop-ifier had been disabled and was not intended for release at that time.
Where can one find the item? The good piece was sold for 600 gold and was offered by random NPCs. Since the item was offered randomly, there is no exact vendor location.

How can the Prop-ifier be used effectively?
The best way to use the new item would be defensively, attempting to disguise oneself in hopeless situations to avoid confrontation. Alternatively, one can camouflage and try a surprise attack to eliminate unsuspecting opponents.
Is there something to keep in mind? Since the item needs to recharge, you cannot spam the function and must wait for the next recharge. Another point to consider would be the space consumption. You occupy one item slot, which you could have filled with a good weapon or consumables.
Nevertheless, this is a good and useful item that will be versatile. What do you think of the new secret weapon that was suddenly removed again? Do you find it practical or rather a fun gimmick? Let us know.
