After getting to know all the mobs that could spawn, learning how to defeat Brutes for the first time, and designing the best vehicles for LEGO Fortnite, things were starting to get a little dry in here. Thankfully, Fortnite’s v28.10 update brings new items to LEGO Fortnite, so it can add a bit more flavor to this familiar gaming dish. The Launch Pad is a new item that works a bit like a trampoline, launching you off into the air so you can glide to your destination. In this guide, I’ll walk you through unlocking and building your very own Launch Pad in LEGO Fortnite for epic survival adventures.

Blueprints only unlock once you’ve discovered the required materials to craft them. Or, if you’re playing with friends, their discovery also counts as yours. 

If you don’t see the Launch Pad option initially in LEGO Fortnite, don’t panic. It will only appear once you have all the required materials in your inventory: Flexwood, Copper bars, and silk fabric.
