What is LEGO® Fortnite®?

If you’re familiar with the original Fortnite, you might be surprised to learn that LEGO Fortnite puts an emphasis on craftsmanship, internet cooperation, and long-term survival. There are two distinct planet types in LEGO Fortnite, each designed for a different play style, so players can experiment with different combinations of these elements.

Each player’s enormous LEGO Fortnite environment is different since it is procedurally built. They’re all over the place, from the rocky coasts of Boulder to the lush forests of Lush, and they’re full of secrets waiting to be found.

Friendly locals, including many aspects and characters from Fortnite, and animals like cows and sheep constructed from LEGO bricks and pieces can be found when players explore the untamed areas they create. Wild wolves, spiders, and pirates are just a few of the less pleasant creatures that players may encounter!

Some players will want to take an adventure-oriented approach, gathering materials to make powerful weapons, forming alliances to journey into strange caverns teeming with treasure and foes, and fighting legendary bosses.

Other players may choose to establish, develop, extend, and level up villages; invite passing villagers to settle there; give them tasks to do; and eventually bring order to their otherwise chaotic environment. For those who want the more straightforward experience of building with LEGOs, there is the option to populate the environment with premade structures that fit together perfectly. Any number of outcomes could be possible, depending on how imaginative and creative each participant is.

Because of this, LEGO Fortnite is a fantastic hybrid. A huge creative playground where players can play in whatever way makes them happy, it mixes the beloved bricks and pieces from the LEGO Group with the known terrain of Fortnite.

What Is a Survival World?

As the protagonist in a survival game, you’ll have to scavenge for materials, construct buildings, make your own tools and weapons, battle monsters, and discover new areas to explore.

Players in a survival world have an inherent challenge: they have to find or make whatever they need to stay alive. Trees provide players with fuel for campfires, torches, axes, shovels, and swords and shields, among other tools.

They gain knowledge as they construct. They can unlock construction blueprints to construct bigger and better things as their knowledge grows.

What Is a Sandbox World?

In a Sandbox world, it’s like every player has a bottomless box of LEGO bricks and elements. Instead of worrying about wild wolves guarding the forest where they’re collecting wood, players can just build a log cabin, no collecting or fighting required.

From players’ earliest moments in a Sandbox world, it’s all about crafting and expressing themselves without fighting enemies or needing to harvest material. They can even take to the sky, superhero-style, to explore the map.

LEGO Fortnite Safety

LEGO Fortnite allows eight players to jump in simultaneously in one world, and having a community is the best way to play the game. Players cooperate to build, harvest, gather and overcome challenges. Each player is stronger and better with friends.

In Fortnite, every island has an age rating, and you can determine which islands your child can visit based on those ratings. Fortnite has extensive in-game parental controls that allow adults to manage their child’s experience in the game. Each platform on which the game is available – for example, PlayStation®, Xbox, Nintendo Switch™ and Windows – also offers its own parental controls.

With Epic Games’ Parental Controls, you can manage access to social features (such as voice chat), require a Parental Controls PIN for purchases and set up additional controls. You can access them online in the Epic Account Portal and also in-game using the Fortnite Parental Controls menu. Here’s how to access that menu in-game:

1. Launch Fortnite
2. Open the main menu (which looks like three horizontal lines), and select the gear-shaped icon.
3. Select Parental Controls from the menu that loads.

Epic Parental Controls require you to set up a six-digit PIN through the Epic Account Portal or the Fortnite Parental Controls menu. The PIN ensures that only you can make changes to your settings.

From the Account Portal, parents and guardians can customize their Parental Controls to create an age-appropriate experience for every member of the family. Notable Parental Controls include:

• Voice and text chat permissions: You can manage who your child is able to speak with using Epic’s voice and text chat. You can select options like ‘Friends Only,’ which only allows your child to speak with other players in their Epic friends list and platform friend list, or disable chat entirely.
• Purchasing settings: You can choose to require your Parental Controls PIN to be entered before real money purchases are made using Epic payment.
• Require your PIN for friend requests: You have the option of requiring your PIN to be entered in order for your child to send or accept Epic friend requests.

If your child is playing on a console, then you may also need to set controls for purchasing, communication limits and more in that ecosystem. For example, if you turn off voice chat in Fortnite, your child may still be able to access voice chat using the chat system built into their console.
