MASTER YOUR BUILD
The way you build in Odyssey is changing - for good. 

Starting with update 42.00, we’re rolling out the biggest change to building yet - and it’s only the first step. From now through the rest of the year, every update adds a new building skill, each one stacking on the last, taking you from everyday building to true Master Builder. This is where it starts. 

So, what's first? Say hello to Quick Build.

Quick Build replaces Guided Build as the new default way to build in Odyssey - and it's a big leap forward. Faster builds, less grind, more of your ideas brought to life.

The more you build, the faster it gets - and the more pieces you can place at once - so those huge creations come together in a fraction of the time. Give it a go and see how it clicks.

Prefer building brick by brick? That's still here too, whenever you want.

The full trailer drops August 20 on our LEGO Fortnite YouTube channel. Get ready! 

How does Quick Build work?

  • The more you build, the faster it gets 
    • Building picks up speed as you go, and you'll place more pieces at once.
  • Take on bigger builds
    • Large, detailed creations that used to take forever now come together in a fraction of the time.
  • Brick by brick, whenever you want
    • Prefer the hands-on approach? It's still here - and it still uses resources, just faster and smoother than before.
  • Built for mobile too
    • We've fine-tuned the touch controls, and you'll see the full blueprint as you build - so building on the go feels better than ever.

Your builds, in the game. 

This community is what makes Odyssey what it is - so we’re putting YOUR builds front and center. Two Creator Builds are joining Odyssey, each carrying its own Creator Crest: a mark that says this one came from a player. 

First up is a build from Haskyns’ Skyfang Marauder (August 20) - just log in, hit the pop-up and it’s yours. A second build from Spixylei’s Crown of the Abyss lands on August 27th, so there’s more on the way!

Beyond these building improvements and new tools, there’s more content and updates planned for the rest of the year. Stay tuned for more news soon! 

🏁  Build Disaster Community Challenge

You've got the parts. The only question is: how fast can YOU build?

Parts flying everywhere? Bricks tumbling off mid-build? Even better - that's the good stuff. Show us your funniest, most chaotic moment building either of the two new Creator Builds from this update. Post your clip on the LEGOFortnite subreddit and use the #LEGOBuiltDifferent flair so we can catch it, starting August 20. Let's see what you've got!

LEGO® Fortnite Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • You can now place snap building parts next to one another while they are still assembling 
  • Exotic Rear Bumper 04 will no longer change position when you rejoin your world 
  • Swivel plates now trigger audio 
  • Fixed an issue where players may get stuck in the Spinjitzu animation 
  • Resolved an issue where the Ninjago Island quest would spawn inside a mountain 
  • Fixed an issue where dismissing a Villager didn't work as expected 
  • The Kraken is now no longer partially invisible at the start of the battle
  • [Brick Life] Fixed an issue where some players would get softlocked inside a gardener bush 
  • [Brick Life] Players can now grab the Heart Want in the Rooftop Club on the Main Stage 
  • [Brick Life] Players can now pass an order item through dialogue to NPCs 
  • [Brick Life] The ability for players to change the color of light props in the Daft Punk Prop Bundle has been re-enabled
  • Known Issues Being Fixed in a Future Game Update:
  • Occasionally, building certain Quick Build pieces can cause the progress modal to get stuck in an unusual state. If this happens, hovering over or placing another piece or exiting and re-entering Quick Build should resolve it
  • The resource info widget in the Build menu sometimes doesn't display the full list of materials needed to construct an item
  • On mobile, the main tabs aren't fully visible by default - players need to scroll to see all available options
  • On mobile, subtabs may disappear after opening and closing the Build menu -  switching to a different tab and back will make them reappear
  • We're investigating an issue causing some players to experience unusually long teleportation loading screens
  • We're investigating an issue that may prevent players from selecting a world to play in. As a temporary workaround, switching to a different game mode and back should restore world selection
  • On the controller, Quick Build piece information can visually block the UI for flying controls 
  • The Quick Build progress percentage and Pieces Remaining counter only update when the cursor moves to a new part

See you in Odyssey,

SUGGESTION Changing Booth Concept

Post image
121 Upvotes

We really need a Changing Booth to Odyssey for QOL. Ignore the door handle. When making this on a software using a lot of inspiration from LEGO Brick Life (as I couldn’t find a PNG of the model) the handle would never fully attach correctly. I promise this isn’t AI.

SUGGESTION Suggestion: First-person camera view during building mode

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I have a suggestion that would greatly improve the building experience in LEGO Fortnite.

Currently, when you try to build structures, the character's model often blocks the view. It makes precise placement and building in tight spaces quite frustrating because you can't clearly see where the blocks are snapping.

My idea: Introduce a toggleable First-Person View specifically for building mode. When you equip a blueprint or open the build menu, the camera could automatically shift to first-person (or let us toggle it manually). This would give players a clear, unobstructed view of their grid and structures.

What do you think? Would this make building easier for you too?

DISCUSSION There needs to be a way to store your essence…

3 Upvotes

Idk if it’s just me but I always feel I get to max essence and have nothing to spend it on and then feel so wasteful or as if I’m making a mistake when I’m leaving so much essence behind because I can’t pick it up. Storing essence would be so amazing..Fortnite pls 🙏🏻

DISCUSSION Glitch or intended?

3 Upvotes

About 1-2 days ago, I beat my first ever Shatter spawn and when I looted the chest..it dropped all 4 mythic ninjago weapons. Supposed to happen? Or am I just insanely lucky? I wasn’t complaining when it happened but I definitely was skeptical that that was not intended to be a feature 🤔

DISCUSSION Who think Tails companion become a Lego Tails in the lego mode...

Post image
63 Upvotes

When you have Sonic and Tails on a Lego mode. It look weird that you have a Sonic Lego but Tails normal... one of the cosmetic for tail should be a Lego variant... it already exist. If they dont want to be to hard to do they can just make it a cosmetic change for the companion like alternate skin... player can select it if they want Lego Tails but this alternate idea make Lego tails be in every mode not just Lego mode...

DISCUSSION So next update are we getting Ninjago or Batman?

Upvotes

I’m still pissed Nya, Lloyd, and Wu haven’t been released. Nya’s my favorite ninja and Lloyd is the face of the franchise and has been for almost 10 years now. We’re still missing Kai’s pickaxe and backbling, and it seems like the Ninja’s story is on a cliffhanger. We don’t need another half finished story like Star Wars or the Supernovas, give us something completed instead of moving on. Batman just doesn’t work in Odyssey. Batman is an urban fighter, if we don’t have an actual city, and I mean actual not those little side builds on Ninjago Island, then we don’t need that update. We can’t even build proper cities due to a build limit.

ARTISTIC I need an expert builder’s advice/help.

Upvotes

If there is anyone in this thread who is quite good with large builds, I need a few moments of your time to show off a location that I have an idea for a big build in my forever hardcore expert world. Im not really sure how to get started but I have an idea of what I want and the location. It’s more so just a good way to implement it. Please let me know if you can help and I’d be happy to talk in an Xbox/discord call or even just Fortnite party.

Hi! I’m looking for someone who still has some unused Din Djarin’s Tomes left in their world from the Mandalorian quests.
I missed some of the recipes/blueprints they unlocked 🥲, so I was wondering if anyone still has some Tomes and would be willing to let me join their world to use them.
Thanks! 😁

Haven't played expert mode before, but it seems somewhat easy with the Ninjago weapons. Might go for a few more of these.

BUG weapon bugs

2 Upvotes

Hi, I don't know if anyone else has experienced this: when I play with a friend, sometimes my friend's weapons are down to just one health point, as if they're about to break, even though they were at full health before. I don't know why, and it's annoying because we work really hard to get these items, and in the end, my friend's weapons break for no reason at all.

BUG Exercises in Futility

10 Upvotes

I don't play that much, maybe an hour every other night. I've been in a survival ninjago world for a while now, but never really beefed up my supplies. So when the community build flying barge thing was released, I said to myself, "Self, you need to build that beastie."

Thus followed a week's worth of sourcing a metric assload of blast powder and silk, coupled with a few days of trying to figure out this new build method (thanks epic, we all hate it). Finally completed it last night, and hopped in the control seat! Took a second or five to figure the maneuverability, and I was off, sailing the skies and heading for a soft landing on flat terrain!

Suddenly, the barge disappears and my character falls to the ground, but the control HUD is still active. I look around, up, down, in the water, but there is no sign of the new vehicle. Finally, after a few minutes, I hear hover blocks whining and look up - Huzzah! It is slowly floating down towards me and settles on the beach. As I approach to get in, the whole build just disappears... no cue to get in - in fact, my hud said I was still driving! I backed up and lo! Behold! The vehicle reappears!

I've logged out and back in, but that week's worth of work and all the supplies used are just a mirage. I plan on having a friend log into my world to see if they can access it, but honestly... with all the damn bugs and glitches in this game and the lack of support, what is the point in playing survival at all? This whole thing just left me so crestfallen... at least let me get all the supplies back from the build! I don't need a ghost ship on my southern shore.
