How to build vehicles in Lego Fortnite

When you start constructing vehicles in Lego Fortnite, there are initially three standard builds you can work with. These are accessed via the Builds section of the Build menu, but you’ll need to unlock the recipes for each of these before putting them together, so here’s what you have to find:

As the name suggests, the Speeder is a fast little single-seater vehicle to zoom around in from place to place.The Speeder recipe is unlocked by adding a Power Cell to your inventory– more on how to get that later.

The Offroader is a bigger, more sturdy vehicle for travelling around in, with seats for up to three passengers to join you.The Offroader recipe is unlocked by addingLego Fortnite Flexwoodto your inventory, which is often found in the Dry Valley biome.

Finally, the Hauler is your go-to choice for moving and heavy lifting, due to the large flatbed platform to the rear.The Hauler recipe is unlocked by adding Frostpine to your inventory, which is often found in the Frostlands biome.

If you prefer to add your personal touch to things, you can also make your own Lego Fortnite vehicle builds by combining various Vehicles Parts found in the Toys section. You may need to add some or all of the recipes for the standard vehicles above before you can access these parts, as they won’t appear in your Build menu straight away. Once you’ve unlocked them, you’ll need the following parts to make a vehicle build:

To power your Lego Fortnite vehicles you’ll need to craft Power Cells, and the main resource needed for that is produced by the new Compost Bin station. These convert resources into Biomass, Fertilizer, or Soil, and you’ll need touse the Compost Bin to create Biomass in order to unlock the Power Cell recipe, so keep feeding it resources until Biomass comes out.

To craft a Power Cell, you’ll need aLego Fortnite Crafting Bench upgrade, then50 Biomass and six Glass. To obtain Glass, you can either dig Sand from a desert biome with the Shovel then use a Metal Smelter to convert it into Glass, or search bandit camps for a chance to find it.
