If you have just joined the party in this super-colourful and creative survival game, it will be overwhelming. No need to sweat—we got you with this chill and straightforward guide that will help you get your game on. From harvesting resources to crafting cool stuff, here is everything you’ll want to kick-start your LEGO Fortnite adventure.
1. Gathering Basic Resources
First, let’s get into LEGO Fortnite. To get things going, you’ll need to farm some essential resources. You have a couple of resources to collect right off the bat: Wood and Granite. These are your building blocks—no pun intended—for survival and crafting.
Start by gathering Wood and Granite using your bare hands. Yep, you read it right—no tools needed just yet! You’ll be punching through bushes and thin trees in Grasslands to grab these resources. As you farm more, use them to craft a Campfire that will open up new recipes for you to make. Don’t forget to forage for food in the form of pumpkins and berries for those hunger meters!
2. Night Preparation
Surviving the night in LEGO Fortnite is big. It gets cold at night when the enemies go out and have fun. Keep yourself safe, have enough food, and stay near your Campfire. It will keep you warm and safe from storms. As you level up and unlock new recipes, you can take up quests at night like a boss!
3. Make and Improve Your Crafting Bench
Once you’ve got your Campfire up, it’s time to build a Crafting Bench. You’ll need 3x Wood and 5x Granite for this. The Crafting Bench is where you can make some really cool tools, like Torches and Axes, that help you collect resources better and fight off those stupid critters. Keeping an eye on those upgrade recipes is important since better benches open up even better tools and weapons.
4. Craft a Village Square
Now, let’s get a little fancy. Once you’ve built your Crafting Bench and a Simple Shack, you will unlock the recipe for a Village Square. This isn’t just for looks, but it’s worthwhile.
You will have an icon for a Village Square added to your map, enabling you to find your village with some searching. Apart from that, the NPC Fortnite characters begin to visit your town. Invite them to live together, then send them to work or take them on adventures. You will love the villagers, who can collect resources and save you from wildlife. You see, besides the comfort and companionship you get from crafting a Village Square, it will unlock cool Village Upgrades, such as new recipes and larger capacities for your village!
Survival Basics
Alright, let’s talk about survival. LEGO Fortnite isn’t just about building cool stuff; you’ve also got to monitor your Hunger, Temperature, and Stamina.
- Hunger: Your character will get hungry over time. Watch the hunger meter and eat food to stay full. Pumpkins and Raspberries are great early-game snacks.
- Temperature: Different biomes come with different temperatures. Keep warm by standing near a Campfire, holding a Torch, or seeking shelter. Some foods can also help with temperature regulation.
- Stamina: Sprinting, swimming, and gliding will drain your Stamina. Slap Juice and Slap Berries restore it when you drink/eat them.
Beginner’s Tips and Tricks
Here are some helpful tips and tricks to make your LEGO Fortnite journey smoother:
- Repair Tools: Place significantly damaged tools in a Chest, then destroy the Chest to fix the tools.
- Prevent Hunger: Open any build or workstation menu, and the game will pause if you need to take a break.
- Rainbow Butterflies can lead you to Llamas or Chests, but be on the lookout for bandit camps!
- Supply Drops: Keep an eye out for Supply Drops. They have great loot inside.
- Cover Workstations: Build workstations under cover; you can keep utilising them in the rain.
- Outrun Threats: When outnumbered, run to higher grounds. Invite Villagers—They can help in battles and harvesting resources.
- Move Builds: You can move any object by destroying it and rebuilding it in the desired position, and you will receive a full refund of used materials.
- Eat on the Go: Place food items in your Off-Hand space to eat on the go. Tame Wild Life—If dealt with carefully, some animals will help you collect resources.
- Let Nature Fight: You can wait and watch if you see an absolute battle between a wolf and a skeleton. It will help you pick up some extra loot without fighting yourself.
- Check Biome: The small map icon shows which biome you’re currently in.
- Craft Charms: Charms increase either HP or resistance to temperature.
