As Fortnite keeps updating and expanding with the new LEGO characters and builds, Blocks has some more tips for players…
Epic Games and the LEGO Group have collaborated to release a special, brick-based version of Fortnite. In case you have been living under a rock, it is available to play right now on all consoles and PC – for free (with optional in-game purchases)! As with other Fortnite modes, it’s constantly being updated.
LEGO Fortnite is a survival game all about collecting resources, upgrading your tools and making your village a cosy place to live for the zany cast of LEGO characters. The game has had several updates since its release and offers a wide range of features. If you’re ready to dive into this survival game for the first time, or are looking to enhance your skills, then these tips will help you to explore your world.
So, what do you really need? How do you get certain resources? Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, has some handy tips to help improve your play…
Make some charms
This is something you really, really need to be doing if you’re planning to explore every biome in LEGO Fortnite. While the Grasslands is temperate, both the Dry Valley and Frostlands have extreme temperatures that will negatively effect your character. By crafting one Heat Resistance charm you can safely explore the Dry Valley, but you’ll need to make 3 Inner Fire charms to survive the Frostlands.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend
Most of the creatures in LEGO Fortnite want to eat you. But they also fight each other. If you watch safely from afar, some fights take down rare materials that you can then grab when the creatures have moved on. It’s a cheat’s way of getting knot wood, frost pine and sometimes blast cores.
Gliding around
This is a labour intensive process that requires defeating a lot of spiders, but it is worth making a glider. It becomes a permanent part of your equipment and has unlimited durability. Having the glider means you can use the hot springs to quickly travel through the Dry Valley and easily reach the top of mesas to collect rough amber.

Use the Force!
Even if you’re not a Star Wars fan it’s worth playing the intergalactic version of LEGO Fortnite because you can get a lightsaber. Why do you need a lightsaber? Well unlike all other weapons in the game, which have a durability limit, lightsabers only ever need to recharge. They have unlimited power! Skeletons, wolves, bears… they don’t stand a chance.
Struggling to find rubies?
Rubies are a rare resource that can only be found in caves located within the Dry Valley. But there’s a catch! If you’re playing the Star Wars island, make sure you’re running the v30.10 version, otherwise there are no rubies in these caves. Some may be dropped in boss fights against Stormtroopers or found in in Imperial chests, but unless you’ve updated there are no rubies to mine.
Make lots of beds
Build beds absolutely everywhere when you’re out adventuring. If you know you’re going into a dangerous cave or are about to face a monster, then build a bed and set it as your respawn point. This way, if your character is defeated, you won’t be sent all the way back to your village and can find your backpack far more quickly. It’s a real time saver!
LEGO Fortnite is filled with possibilities for creativity and adventuring. Although these are some key tips to help you enjoy the game, it depends on what you’re aiming to achieve. But if you want to get your village to Level 10 then take some notes. Do you have any tips for LEGO Fortnite? Tag Blocks in your screenshots on social media so we can see them!
