Epic Games

The LEGO Fortnite 28.10 update is here and has introduced new content to the game. Here are the full patch notes detailing all the new arrivals.

LEGO Fortnite has been drawing a lot of players to the game ever since its inception. Although it’s still in its early stages, the game will see an influx of a lot of new skins including some really popular Icon Series skins after the Fortnite 28.10 update.

Unfortunately, the Rift tier items haven’t been added with this update, so they’re likely going to show up in a future update. That said, here’s everything that’s new LEGO Fortnite with the 28.10 update.

LEGO Fortnite 28.10 update patch notes

The LEGO Fortnite 28.10 update mainly focuses on a lot of quality-of-life changes. While the game does require new content, the developers needed to fix some of the major bugs before moving onto content deployment to improve the overall player experience. That said, here are the o fficial LEGO Fortnite update 28.10 patch notes.

Fly away with launchpads in the Fortnite 28.10 update

The new launchpad item in LEGO Fortnite.

As fun as it is useful, the Launch Pad is a Toy you can build to get somewhere fast. Place a Launch Pad on the ground, jump on it, then deploy a Glider! (You can craft a Glider with a Level 3 Crafting Bench.) For some extra fun, try putting a Launch Pad on a Dynamic Foundation.

More updates!

We’ve seen a ton of amazing creations in LEGO® Fortnite already, and 28.10 makes creating even easier whether you’re piecing together a mountainside mansion, assembling a rocket-powered flying machine, or anything in between! Check out what’s changed:

Placing a build will now remove any small bushes, rocks, or plants that are in the way.
You can now more reliably place builds on slopes.
Want more Building Parts? A variety of new sizes and styles for Floors, Walls, and Roofs have been added so you can fill in gaps and have more options available!
You can now abandon a build in progress. This will leave any parts already placed and remove the blue preview parts so you can continue customizing your creation.
It’s now more obvious when you’re using Snap Mode, and we’ve added more snap points to Building Parts so that they lock together easier.

Just village things

Bushranger, Rustler, and Tomatohead can now appear as potential Villagers to join your adventure!
Villages can now be instantly removed with the “Delete Village” option in the Village Square. This new option is available to the world owner and keyholders.
Don’t want a Villager in town anymore? You can now remove them by getting rid of their bed and then asking them to leave. 👋

Other Stuff

Chest rewards have been improved with better loot, especially those from fighting enemies and solving puzzles.
Blasters have wandered out of their caves and can be found in the desert, making Blast Cores easier to obtain.
- Speaking of caves, Brutes have found their way into some — be careful down there!
Hermit Crabs now attack your Villagers, and they attack back!
You can now get rid of any unwanted items, like a Skeleton’s pickaxe ;), by throwing them in a Campfire.
We’ve added a legend to the map to show players’ respawn and backpack locations.

Cosmic Infinity
Crusher
Ex
FFC Sparkplug
Khari
