LEGO Fortnite is a thrilling survival-crafting game mode added to Fortnite’s Chapter 5, Season 1. It features vast, open biomes, where players can let their creativity loose and have fun building and crafting anything they desire. The game comprises plenty of survival mechanics, distinct from its battle royale counterpart.
How to Get Cursed Bones in LEGO Fortnite
Getting Cursed Bones is a daunting and lengthy process for new players; here’s a step-by-step guide on the process.
When players are just getting started, LEGO Fortnite can be a bit overwhelming. Even though new players are paired with an NPC companion who teaches them the basics of the game, certain mechanics can only be learned through trial and error. Thankfully, this list can help beginners understand what mistakes to avoid in the immersive world of LEGO Fortnite.
8 Setting Up A Village In The Desert Or Frostlands
Choose The Campsite Wisely
A common beginner mistake would be setting up camp in the Dry Valley or Frostlands. Both of these areas provide useful resources but at great risk, especially when players are new to the game. They have harsh climates, ranging from scorching heat in the desert to ice-cold temperatures in the snowy biome. As such, players need to bring along the right foods and Charms to protect themselves.
Alternatively, players can set up camp in the Grasslands or the Shores biomes. They have abundant resources, moderate temperatures, and somewhat easy-to-navigate lands.
7 Building Excessively
Use The Resources Wisely
Building too much when players are just starting out with LEGO Fortnite is a bad idea. In the game’s early stages, resources like wood and stone are scarce, and building excessively would quickly deplete the limited resources. This would leave players empty-handed and unable to build the necessary structures later on. It is also time-consuming and would distract them from other important tasks to survive in the wild.
Instead, players should start small and build the necessary structures, such as a basic house for protection against dangers.
6 Not Building A Village Square
Avoid Getting Lost
Building a Village Square is undoubtedly the first thing that beginner players should do when they step foot into the world of LEGO Fortnite. It only costs ten Wood and ten Granite and creates a safe zone for players. If players choose not to build a Village Square, they risk losing a number of benefits, such as the chance to be visited by NPCs.
Moreover, once a Village Square is built, it marks the location of the village on the map, making it easy for players to return to camp at the end of the day.
5 Underestimating NPCs
Who Doesn't Want A Helping Hand?
In LEGO Fortnite, many unique NPCs pay a visit to the village. Players have a choice to invite them to live in their village permanently or turn them away. New players might make a huge mistake by not paying any attention to them, but these villagers aren't just for show. Players can assign them different tasks, which include cooking, collecting materials, and more.
LEGO Fortnite: 8 Best Resources To Stockpile
Lego Fortnite features a lot of drops. Here are the best resources players should stockpile.
As such, beginners shouldn’t underestimate NPCs and instead choose to recruit more of them to speed up farming and other daily tasks.
4 Visiting Caves Unprepared
Explore Caves with Caution
Caves are hidden in the mountains of the Grasslands, Frostlands, and the Dry Valley. They are home to Chests and many valuable resources, like Brightcore and Obsidian. New players often visit caves unprepared, unaware of the dangers that await them. Caves are crawling with dangerous enemies that can instantly kill players with one hit.
When visiting caves, players need to be armed with the right tools to extract these minerals. Furthermore, they need to equip themselves with torches and top-tier weapons to deal with enemies.
3 Rushing Into Combat
These Monsters Can Prove to Be Unforgiving!
Rushing into combat is a huge mistake many beginners make in the early stages of LEGO Fortnite. Players may encounter enemies such as Wild, Sand, and Bone Wolves in the Grasslands, Dry Valley, and Frostlands biomes, respectively. Similarly, each region has its own Brute which are powerful and deadly monsters even for experienced players, so it's safe to assume that a newbie attempting to attack and defeat a Brute would not end well for the player.
As such, players should pick their battles wisely and avoid conflict where possible. It’s better to focus on collecting resources and only engage in combat when they have a good chance of success.
2 Not Preparing For The Night
Because Nights Can Be Cruel At Times
As night falls in LEGO Fortnite, the world becomes more dangerous. The darkness of the night makes it harder to spot enemies and navigate through the maps. It is also harder to acquire resources in the nighttime. Therefore, players should prepare for the night beforehand.
It’s wise to gather food and resources early in the day and build a shelter before nightfall. Additionally, players can craft torches and campfires. These items provide light and are good sources of heat. By preparing accordingly, players can significantly increase their chances of survival during the nighttime in LEGO Fortnite.
1 Fast Travel
Save Your Legs
The LEGO Fortnite universe features an expansive map, said to be 20 times larger than that of the standard mode. As such, it’s time-consuming and stressful to travel from one biome to another on foot. Even though the game does not come with a built-in fast travel mechanic, there are plenty of different ways players can move around faster.
New players are often unaware that they can build and craft unique vehicles, such as Cars, Hot Air Balloons, Airplanes, and even a Glider to travel to distant biomes easily.
