Star Wars Crash Lands in Lego Fortnite Patch Notes

Out of all the new modes added to Fortnite in Chapter 5, Lego has been the biggest success. A Minecraft-inspired world, it’s tons of fun to roam around and explore in. However, a sandbox game like this is only really as good as the options you have to play with. That’s where the Lego Fortnite patch notes come in. There are updates coming all the time for this mode.

The normal Fortnite patch notes can be fun new items, but also items getting vaulted or even nerfed. Over in Lego Fortnite though, updates only mean one thing; you’ve got new toys to play with. Each update expands the world out. Adding things like vehicles, launchpads, farming, and even Star Wars. These are the latest Lego Fortnite patch notes if you want to jump back in and see what’s changed with the game.

Lego Fortnite Star Wars Event Update

The most recent Lego Fortnite update is our biggest to date. It’s a Lego Fortnite Star Wars crossover. The franchise has crossed over with Battle Royale loads but this is the first year Lego has been here. These two franchises go together perfectly, so it’s no surprise Lego has been the focus this year.

There is loads to do in the new update. We’ve got a new Lego Fortnite Star Wars event pass to unlock free cosmetics. But also new permanent additions to the mode with features and weapons.

Rebel Villages

The Lego Fortnite Star Wars content comes in two sides, the Imperial and the Rebel. For the Rebels, you can build permanent additions to your world with new Rebel villages. These can contain tons of different buildings each themed after the Rebel Alliance. It can go up to Level 10 and grow quite substantially.

These buildings won’t just be here for the event. Epic has made clear they’re a permanent addition.

Imperial Crash Landings

Imperial Star Destroys have crashed into the world of Lego Fortnite with the new patch notes. These crash sites are surrounded by camps that even feature enemies. You’ll have to scope them out using the new Macrobinocular item.

These builds can be kept permanently too! If you prefer this type of design, they’ll be a part of your Lego world for as long as you choose to leave them there.

New Items and Weapons

Lightsabers

Lego Fortnite patch notes so far have avoided realistic weaponry, but a nice fantasy lightsaber is a fine fit for the brick world. These are new items you can craft in different colors to defend yourself. Perfect against some of the tougher mobs introduced in the animals patch. These are Fortnite melee weapons available in Battle Royale and Lego.

Blasters

There are multiple blasters in the newest update, the DL-44 and the E-11.

Bowcaster

This item is in the Battle Royale patch notes, but also in the world of Lego. It’s a weapon that launches an explosive round. It needs to be crafted.

Thermal Detonator

If you prefer to storm around the world just blowing stuff up, you can do that without breaking the Star Wars emersion. The Thermal Detonator is a new explosive added in the update.

Rebel Workbench

The next new build is a fresh type of workbench. Put this together and you’ll be able to craft all of those Star Wars items. These will also work once the event is over.

New Lego Skin Styles

Epic has enabled a whole batch of new Lego Fortnite skin styles with the latest update. The following skins now have more detailed versions available in Lego Fortnite since these patch notes:

Other Changes in Lego Fortnite V29.40 Patch Notes

The new update is largely about Star Wars, but there’s more. Epic has made a number of quality of life improvements which will make the game all-round better to play. These are the changes:

• Quests – You can view quests without quitting to the lobby. At last!
• Flipped Vehicles – This whole problem has been fixed, major improvement to the vehicles.
• Bug Fixes

That’s everything so far in the Lego Fortnite patch notes. Over time this mode has grown to be something really special. If it continues to get these scale of updates (and Fortnite leaks indicate it will), Lego Fortnite is going to grow into something truly special.
