What Is Lego in Fortnite?

Lego in Fortnite refers to items from the Hasbro Nerf Rival product line that are specifically designed to adhere to the overall game’s survival theme (as against Nerf Rocket League blasters that have their own separate Rocket League integration mechanism).

The Lever Action Rifle, Pump Shotgun, and Six Shot Revolver are officially licensed Hasbro Nerf Rival products that are integrated into Fortnite in the real world as well as within the game itself. Players fire foam or foam-rubber pellets at each other, accumulate physical representations of point values known as Score Impact Points (SIPs), and engage in target practice or competitive games while trying to earn higher SIPs. To earn SIPs strictly within the bounds of the Fortnite universe, players must shoot specific targets at various lengths. Lego in Fortnite refers to the game mechanic that allows to use Nerf products within specific scenarios.

How To Get Lego in Fortnite?

Lego was never officially in Fortnite. It was heavily featured as the metaverse in the commercial by Lego dubbed Build the Rainbow with LEGO in collaboration with Fortnite. The commercial aired at the coding event CrafterCopc which occurred in the Fraumunster Church in Zurich, Switzerland. Lego from the commercial cum Fortnite partnership is never available for obtaining or buying within Fortnite. It exists only within the commercial as a cute video game-inspired aesthetic. It is unclear but fascinating how serious consideration for a full wrap of Lego assets in Fortnite mechanics was given but ultimately abandoned.

What Are The Benefits Of Being Lego in Fortnite?

The benefits of being Lego in Fortnite are to see various landmarks, enjoy the blocky building style, and find hidden chasis parts scattered around the map to rebuild The Queen’s Knight, a Chasis runner.

These are the beneficial features of Fortnite Lego:

1. Familiar places: Get a Lego-tinted tour of famous Fortnite landmarks and houses such as Snobby Shores and Tomato Town.
2. Another building option: Play with another type of toy material. Building with Lego blocks which is more constrained than conventional Fortnite building styles lets you get more creative.
3. Keeping busy: Look for hidden Lego instructions and parts around the map and entertain yourself as you try to find the parts to rebuild a chasis runner of The Queen’s Knight, a wooden marionette to escape from captivity by The Imagin8ors.
4. Opportunity for relaxing gaming: Remove opponents by restoring power or peace. No PvP in the portion of the map that houses Candy Courts and Salad Sapphire. Help friendly, if emotional, vegetables along their quest for the Salad Sapphire and earn a sparkly reward suitcase.

Fortnite Lego Challenges are similar to traditional Fortnite challenges with daily, weekly, and even special event challenges. The special event challenges are unique to Fortnite Lego.

Increased Durability

The simplest way to be Lego in Fortnite is that you have 150 health and 150 shield. This is how you appear in Fortnite Creative mode when you are at full health and shield. Regular battle royale stats would be 150 health and either 0`, 50, or 100 shield depending on the game rules. If shields are available, someone trying to be Lego will need to get to a multiple of 50 shield such as 100 shield.

Increased realistic durability of being Lego in Fortnite entails having higher early game shield levels in battle royale. Starting with 100 health and 100 shield gives you double the protection of normal players who are only at 100 health. It would help you survive longer before being knocked out and easier to win more battles.

Enhanced Building Abilities

Lego characters boast enhanced building ability, with mini Lego replicas of greater structures often built by real-world equivalents. Christopher Funks‘ real Lego house is a modern building made up of puffy white blocks, emphasizing Lego sensibilities with its large windows that provide the same illumination as proper Lego blocks. Angela Dewar constructed a cob building whose rounded walls and nooks echo classical tree fortresses built out of Lego. Limbics, another core being that harkens back to Lego sensibilities, showcases a body that is both a creative factory and container of everything. This chameleon nature of Limbics in hybrids fosters creativity in building of technology, art, and even the world itself.

In the meme piece Forget the Mission, a Lego X-Wing fighter watches a real X-Wing being assembled from the Millennium Falcon. This piece highlights Legos’ emphasis on actual building and unique source of creative joy and transcendence. An unrealized part of Lego life, these primordial shapes are life-generating. As part of the Lego phenomena, this concept was built into the original concept of the character. We see these basics a Numa with a life factory sprouted from her head. This bestial primitive generative relationship of the basic blocks is timeless and eternal. The Lego building block character is literally the foundational building block of the entire world.

Unique Weapon Options

Lego should be in Fortnite as Rare Weapon that looks like a rocket, but when thrown does either explosive damage, poison damage, or gas/area denial damage. This would be a brand new weapon class, as Fortnite does not yet have weapons that deal poison area denial or gas/area denial damage that does not apply over time or is dispersed by the wind.

The gas/area denial effect should spread gradually slower with distance and take a maximum of 5 seconds to be deployable. Gas forms a cloud that goes up to a ceiling height of 3 tiles, making it devastating for people in buildings or box-fighting. Allowing it through walls would provide interesting new dynamics to make Lego in Fortnite a unique weapon class.

What Are The Drawbacks Of Being Lego in Fortnite?

The drawbacks of being Lego in Fortnite include the Loot shortage survival disadvantage, personal and matey building challenges, damage from fall not reduced whether Lego or not, inability to differentiate from other Fortnite players not temporarily employing Lego in Fortnite to accomplish goals or to share their skin before purchase, and non-unique skin designs.

LOUDHOUSETIME summarizes how being the Lego Fortnite skin comes with personal and cooperative building challenges. gunplay.bag describes how LEGO Fortnite skin-user opponents are encumbered in gathering loot that is necessary to the user’s survival chances. TheDarkAuthor describes how players not officially deploying this skin and/or advanced LEGO techniques may face issues when opponents making fake builds to see which way the opponent looks when firing within the LEGO designs to possibly get the jump on their opponent.

Players unable to differentiate themselves from other normal or LEGO Fortnite players against whom they wish to maintain the upper hand will see this negatively. Having the LEGO Fortnite skin using vibrant colors like red, blue, yellow, and white also will not make it a unique skin. This is because the LEGO skin will match similar color schemes, classic logos within the LEGO Group, the Fortnite Shop, or other characters within Fortnite.

Slower Movement Speed

Being a Lego character in Fortnite starts with the adjustment of movement speed. Lego characters can be distinguished by their unique movement speed and are always created to reflect the move speed of their Lego toy avatar. This is not feasible in Fortnite as gameplay constrains all player movements to a limited range to prevent players from darting too quickly between different locations on the map. While Lego characters would be slower to match the slow movement of actual Legos, Fortnite players are unable to adjust this aspect of themselves. Instead, desired movement changes can be made such as quicker, less noisy, or more crouched movements to simulate this.

Limited Mobility

Lego characters do not have a lot of movement in Fortnite in keeping with their low physical capacity in real life. While it is possible for them to run, build, swim, and even drive vehicles in the game, their speed is often slow, representing the equivalent real-world slow walking pace of someone wielding fairly heavy metal or plastic blocks around.

The intentional difficulty this causes for players is one reason they may not get it right that Lego characters are on the losing end of the move battle. Stronger muscle movement capacity can be seen when characters dash suddenly away from another danger towards safety, and often when building defenses and strategically moving around them now and then.

How To Utilize Lego in Fortnite?

You can utilize LEGO in Fortnite by building LEGO in real life, playing the LEGO Fortnite mini-games, creating Fortnite Battle Royale with LEGO, going to the LEGO store or going to a LEGO play center to enjoy building sets, or agreeing to a LEGO building kill-switch system in your Fortnite game. Some of the greatest LEGO creations brought into Fortnite have been Fortnite structures built in perfect LEGO accuracy that are showcased in the LEGO Store.

Building Structures

Fully functional with layout, and now user-friendly. While 3D building is the major unique selling point in Fortnite, most structures do not stretch above the predetermined size and shape limits. In regular Fortnite play, structures initially start with a pre-defined size. But the terrain limit causes expansion problems in all configurations. There is no choice to not use certain bricks above a certain floor for example in the somewhat unusual ratio of 3×4. Because there are a set number of sizes for a building attachment, “full extension” plus regular floors is somewhere on the continuum from ridiculously small to stupidly large structures. This appears to be the main culprit in their limited solutions for properly converting 2D to 3D models.

Attacking Enemies

The only way to attack enemies in Fortnite as Lego is to shoot them with a weapon while in Lego form, once they have discovered you and are ready to attack. A direct attack by Lego characters on opponents in Fortnite has no particular benefit other than notifying the opponent of your presence.

A player entering scan mode as Lego characters is entertaining, but that should be as welcome to your opponents as it is to your teammates, who can also hear the delightful entry music.

Instead, simply avoid combat when possible – you are playing FORTNITE LEGENDS after all – and attack only when necessary with the intent of finishing the match as quickly and efficiently as possible. Conversely, humorously distract your opponents during battles with an endless stream of your character deconstructing and reconstructing itself.

Crafting Weapons

Crafting weapons in Fortnite means needing crafting materials and an Upgrade Bench – things that are not in Lego Fortnite. During building mode, players can upgrade common weapons to rare, epic, or legendary varieties at an Upgrade Bench making weapons more powerful. Rare weapons and all levels above them can do more damage, shoot faster, have greater magazine sizes, and have improved accuracy and reloading times.

The Lego version of this is the mechanical upgrade bench located in the building to the lower left of the helicopter crash (H2). You can play with it like an upgrade bench by sitting on it and turning the squares to enter the new level of Superhero. While not a perfect area analog, during gameplay it can make the experience more immersive by having players imagine they are upgrading their armor and/or powers while turning the Lego blocks.

What Are The Strategies For Playing As Lego in Fortnite?

• Land in a high-traffic area where players are busy so you will have time to loot.
• Move from cover to cover so you can heal and reload without being seen.
• Crouch behind stairs and walls with your head ducked so you don’t stick out.
• Use the Manual Override emote to replace a wall you are hiding behind if it gets damaged. Return to cover in a new spot until your health has regenerated.
• Only engage in fights you think you can win. This doesn’t mean hiding is the best strategy, but choosing your battles carefully and maintaining your health will improve your chances.

Stick To Cover

Stick to cover and stay out of open areas as opponents can quickly spot you. Stick to cover means always trying to have some barrier or obstruction between you and other players. In *Fortnite*, buildings work well. Without a building or other constructed cover, stick to any natural barriers: trees, boulders, or even low grass and bushes. Try to move from cover to cover and only cross open terrain n quickly when forced to.

Use Height Advantage

In Fortnite, using the height advantage is a key achievement as how to play like Lego in Fortnite. Lego employs a similar strategy, consistently utilizing objects and structures to their full extents. In Fortnite, players hide in, on, and around destroyed buildings, skyscrapers, towers, barns, and huts, using them as a vantage point to eliminate enemies.

Utilize the height advantages you possess in Fortnite to scout, move stealthily, take cover, snipe, or get the ‘drop’ (literally) on your opponents. For Fortnite beginners, staying on the lower levels and not building too high may be the best approach to maintaining safety.

Fearless advice to exploit the height advantage comes from Fortnite pro player Team Ziplock, who says one of the biggest things that players can do to improve quickly is to force fights. “Take height on people, because it is very hard to defend against height properly, and it gets you a lot of good kills.”

In these examples from two Fortnite rounds, players using their height advantage on rooftops not only succeed in wiping out all the opponents below in Example 1, but they become each other’s sole target in Example 2.

Team Up With Other Legos

Gather some LEGO friends for greater tactical survivability and use LEGO-based match interactions. Yousef abrahem started a Fortnite LEGO group on Discord you might want to join.

Fortnite Duos and Squads exist for working together with friends who are also playing the game live. However, at the time of writing this in late 2021, there is no publicly announced option on the Epic Games website for linking friends to go in as a team or group prior to a new match beginning.

But no technical requirement exists for a post-match selection. Namely, grabbing the entities in question and bringing them back to the initial base without fighting or looting, which was necessary in Lego Island to attract them for a shoestring music video shoot in order to progress.

How To Unlock Lego Skins In Fortnite?

To unlock Lego Skins in Fortnite, find a retailer with a valid promotion for a purchase related to the skin, and proceed to redeem an unlock code to receive the skin in your Fornite Locker. Skins and promotions related to Lego Brawls are redeemed only in the Brawl game. Both Fornite and Lego Brawls may offer new promotions and skin redemption methods as they have done in the past, so check the blog posts and game news to learn how to redeem the skin you want when it becomes available.

Completing Challenges

One of the most surefire ways of becoming Lego in Fortnite is to win a Lucky Landing drop. To get to Lucky Landing (which was a location on Fornite’s island map up to Chapter 2, Season 1) simply do the following:

1. Jump out of the Battle Bus and aim for the elevated snowy mountain area as shown in the image below.
2. Before reaching the edge of the island deploy your glider.
3. Glide over the edge.
4. Aim for the patch of woods below and you’re at Lucky Landing.

On your first game at Lucky Landing (in a Fortnite Solo match to increase your chances), use the following Tacano (To and let the AI do the Clearing and Organizing for you) approach. Hide in the attic of the clock tower (1) until the Storm Eye has appeared and loot the two chests in there. Leave the attic and knock against the wall facing the walled-in clock tower opening to reveal hidden legendary drop loot. Head SW from the constructible area and drop through the floor to a chest in the adjacent building (2) and with a ramp and wall build, continue to the drop point for more hidden legendary drop loot at this build location, while also scouting the area for potential opponents. Knock the wall to the North to reveal more hidden loot if desired before returning to the same building to the NE and revisiting the SW location for further hidden legendary drop loot. Now go find your Lego inventory so that you can build faster when the game increases in pace.

To finish in Lucky Landing, follow the eastern river and you can loop back to the north of your drop area, knocking out more buildings until you arrive back to the other side of Lucky Landing.

Purchasing From Item Shop

Lego appears in the Fortnite Item Shop occasionally, and the proper way to get the skin if you see it there is to add V-Bucks to your account and then use those V-Bucks to purchase it. After you have selected the skin in the Item Shop, go to the purchase page and you will then have purchased the skin. If you do not see the skin in the item shop, it is no longer available in this way and you will have to try one of the other methods listed above.

Participating In Events

Fornite regularly has in-game events that draw large live audiences by changing the landscape, introducing new game modes, or revealing long-time-hidden story elements. Examples of previous events are the live Party at Pleasant Park, the End of Chapter 2 Season 1/2 event that introduced the new chapter, or the Battle of Jonesy event that had multiple teams take on a large boss.

Events get advertised on the main menu, by following the official Fortnite social channels, or from in game alerts. For those wanting to participate as Lego characters, the best resource is the Fornite Wiki page at the fandom site located at fortnite.fandom.com.

This page gives details on all the available outfits including descriptions, pricing, and rarity. While the examples of Lego in Fortnite provided were premium offerings that had to be accessed through a paid process, the wiki is still a good source for determining any future offerings that may not be known when this article is written.
