Covering long distances inLego Fortniteis no easy feat. With no vehicles or fast travel at your disposal, you’ll have to rely on your ability to create your own modes of transportation. Before you start throwing bricks together and seeing what works, you’re going to need the right materials.

Balloons are a necessity if you’re going to create a flying vehicle. Typically used to make objects float, balloons are perfect for creating an aircraft that can zoom over to any corner of the island. However, they’re made of materials you’re able to’t easily create at a crafting bench, so you’ll need to jump through a few hoops first.

How To Use Balloons

Balloons can beattached to structures and dynamic objects.When enough balloons are attached to a dynamic object,it will be sent flying upward.

If an object is not dynamic, it won’t fly away when balloons are attached.

To make a non-dynamic object fly,you must place it on top of another object.Afterward, attach balloons to the object on top,then destroy the lower objectto make it lift off the ground.

Bigger objectsrequire more balloons that have to be evenly distributedto prevent them from wobbling in the air.
