Quick Links
There are numerous biomes to explore inLego Fortnite. You’ll cross frozen mountaintops and sunny beaches as you go around collecting resources. However, you’ll also run into large bodies of water as you explore the map in your unique Lego world.
While there are some rivers you can easily swim across, you’ll eventually reach the high open seas. There might also be various islands you want to reach, but you’ll run out of stamina if you try to swim. Building a boat will help you reach new islands and land masses, and here’s how to put one together.
How To Get Materials For A Boat
There isn’t an automated build for boatsin Lego Fortnite, so you’ll need to arrange items together to make your own. Once youget far enough tosurvive the heat of the Dry Valley,you’ll start getting materials you’ll need to build a boat.
In the Dry Valley, you’ll need to chop down cactuses toget Flexwoodand defeat roving skeletons toget Blast Powder. With these two materials, you’ll be able tocraft new items in your ‘Toys’ build menu.
The most important item, and the basis for your boat, will then bethe Dynamic Foundation.
How To Craft A Boat
Since you will be building a boat to cross open areas of water, head to anarea of the beach that you want to use as your launching point.
It will be easier to build your makeshift boat on a flat beach, butyou can also build it in the waterif you need to.The Dynamic Foundation will float.
Putting together a useable boatis fairly simple. You will need to:
Since the Dynamic Foundation floats,switching on the Activation Switch will ignite the Thrusterattached to it, and propel you across the water. SometimestheThrusters will automatically power off, but you can just switch on the Activation Switch again to get going.
UsingLarge Thrusters will give your boat more speed, so you’ll cover distances quicker.
While you can arrangea workaround for steeringlike you could withbuilding a car, there’s another way to change where you’re going in your boat. It’s not perfect, but it can quickly be done once you get the hang of it.
If you ever need toalter your direction, break off one of your Thrusters. You can then hop in the water togather its crafting materials, and thenbuild a new Thruster while floating in the wateryourself.
How much you turnis determined by yourThruster placement on the Dynamic Foundation.If it iscentered, you willmove straight forward. If a Thruster isoff-centerto one side, you’llturn in the opposite directiondue to the force.
Sticking two Dynamic Foundations side-by-side for your boatis a good way to get more stability in the water, too. It allows you tobuild more on top of the boat.you’re able to decorate it if you want, orattach things like chests if you want to transport materialswith you.
