Lego Fortnite Adds New Vehicle Driving & Building Mechanics

Lego Fortnite has released a new update called “Mechanical Mayhem,” which significantly changes the game. Players can now construct and operate vehicles, allowing them to explore the environment in new ways. They can build their own unique vehicles or use one of three pre-made designs: the Speeder for fast travel, the Offroader for transporting multiple players, and the Hauler for carrying heavy items.

At the core of these new additions is the Power Center, serving as the vehicle’s engine. Power Centers use power cells as fuel, prompting players to adopt a more eco-friendly approach to Lego Fortnite. The new compost bin allows the recycling of old resources and generating biomass, fertilizer, or soil. Biomass plays a crucial role in creating the necessary Power Cells.

Lego Fortnite is now offering more customization options beyond the standard building blocks. The addition of Vehicle Parts in the Toys section allows for enhanced customization. There are two types of wheels available: Turnable Wheels, which provide steering control when paired with a Driver’s Seat, and Powered Wheels, designed for basic forward movement.

Players can also use a Wrench to access advanced control features by assigning Switches and Thrusters to specific channels. Additionally, the Illuminator can now be crafted to illuminate dimly lit areas for nighttime adventures.

The main game is also getting an update that includes a crossover with Rocket League. The Masamune Bundle brings the well-known Masamune Car Body, 13 paint colors, and six special Decals straight into Lego Fortnite. Gamers who have these items in Rocket League will also see them in their Fortnite inventory and vice versa.

Aside from vehicles, the update is bringing some new features. A new character, Oscar the tiger, can now join your Village. There are also new recipes for Ice Cream, Snowberry Ice Cream, and Spicy Ice Cream. Of course, there are also some gameplay refinements and bug fixes for a smoother experience. Lastly, more Outfits have been given the LEGO treatment. Here are all of the outfits that are getting a Lego treatment:

There will likely be more outfits coming to the Lego mode in time.
