Although Fortnite’s next massive update (Chapter 6) is far away, the game will continue to receive content drops as the developers continue to add new things and improve. On August 6, LEGO Fortnite is getting the v30.40 patch, which will add new toys, clothing styles, a fast travel feature and much more.
With this update, you will be able to use the Battle Bus fast travel network move from one biome/region to another in a flash. This will be possible with the new Bus Stations that will already be there in your world. You can destroy an existing Bus Station for Rift Shards and then use the ingredient to build a new one at your preferred location.
The v30.40 patch also adds the capability change world settings (until now players had to create a new world to change settings). This is a well-appreciated quality of life improvement and you can find more details about it below.
Every setting except your mode (Coma, Survival, Sandbox, Expert) and Player Elimination can be changed. Just a few caveats:
- This does not apply to the locked settings in Expert mode.
- If you disable Enemies (including Storm-Wild Enemies), the existing ones will remain until you defeat them or leave the area.
- If you disable Friendly Creatures or Villagers, the existing ones will remain until you leave the area.
If you wanted to get your hands on some new toys in LEGO Fortnite, the wait is over as the upcoming content drop adds four new items: Pressure Plate, Trigger Plate, Activated Balloon Small and Activated Balloon Large.
- Pressure Plate: A button you can press to turn on channels. The button must work!
- Trigger Plate: Another button you can press to switch channels. Unlike a Pressure Plate, the button does not have to stay down. (Remember that Repulsors will eventually turn themselves off!)
- Unlock the recipe for Trigger Plate by adding Explosive Powder to your inventory.
- Activated Balloon Small: A balloon that comes uninflated. Pump it up with channel control! (Maybe pressure or trigger will work?)
- Unlock the recipe for Activated Balloon Small by crafting a Loom.
- Activated Balloon Large: The same thing as Activated Balloon Small, but bigger. (Wow.)
- Unlock the recipe for Activated Balloon Large by crafting a Loom.
The update also brings new LEGO styles for five pre-existing costumes in the game: Abyss, Antheia, The Cube Queen, Ember, and Indiana Jones. In addition, you will be able to buy the Pirate Lifestyle Package from the shop for 1,000 V-Bucks. This bundle includes the Captain Bat LEGO set, the Captain’s Cabin Decor and the Seaport Style Decor Bundle.
Another special mention in the LEGO Fortnite v30.40 patch notes is the addition of two new vehicles called the Kart Racer and Offroad Flyer. The game will now also have Codex, a logbook that will contain information and track progress on everything you’ve discovered. Below are some other minor improvements coming with the update.
Map Improvements
- You can zoom out much further on the world map and traverse your entire world.
- When using a controller, you will have a virtual cursor to control the map with.
- You can ping the map which will drop a marker in the world to aid your travels!
UI updates
- Have you always wanted to carry more stuff? v30.40 increases your inventory to 32 slots!
- Filter items in the Build menu by theme or Customize to quickly find what you’re looking for.
- Name your worlds and Villages however you like! Please follow the Community Rules of Epic Games creating your own names.
