LEGO Fortnite Beginner’s Tips
In this section, we’ve highlighted a few beginner’s tips that we wished we’d had when first playing LEGO Fortnite. While most players will likely pick up on these within an hour or so, we feel it’s better to point them out so players have every advantage going in.
Gather Wood and Granite and Build a Village as soon as possible. The first and only objective players should have in LEGO Fortnite is to build a Village. This is the heart of their base and what will allow them to eventually build better tools and structures as they upgrade it over time. If players take too long to build the Village, they might get bored or miss the point of the game, which would be a real shame. It could also hinder them on the first night when they’ll be murdered by skeletons over and over again.
Explore with friends. Everyone on the team has had a ton of fun with LEGO Fortnite, but we all agree the best times we’ve had are when playing with others. This game is designed to be played with friends and strangers, and progress is so much faster with them. One player can gather basic materials while another heads off to caves. More players still can build and farm, and a base is pretty much complete in two hours as a result.
Don’t underestimate the weather. The lush green biome players start LEGO Fortnite in is temperate and kind to their souls. Every other biome will hurt them, though, either freezing or burning them. Players will learn how to cope with these temperatures over time, but we recommend just avoiding them as much as possible until a Village upgrade requires players to venture into them.
Watch out for Rollers. What we thought were angry sheep when we first started playing LEGO Fortnite turned out to be Rollers. These creatures live up to their name and roll at players to attack them. They hit like a train, and that’s not what players need when they’re thousands of miles from their base with the materials they need for a Village upgrade.
