LEGO Fortnite players with Hunting Dagger

The Fortnite 28.20 update has arrived and it brings plenty of content to LEGO mode as well as the main BR playlists, including a new weapon. Here are the full LEGO Fortnite 28.20 update patch notes.

LEGO Fortnite has been a smash hit since it arrived at the start of Chapter 5 Season 1, gathering its own dedicated community of players who prefer the more relaxed grind. The loop of gathering resources to expand and improve your base has kept fans returning time and time again.

Luckily, LEGO mode is here to stay and the devs have committed to building on it with regular updates. The latest of these is v28.20, which adds a brand-new weapon into the mix, alongside a host of new skins.

Here are the full LEGO Fortnite 28.20 update patch notes.

Craft a Strong Defense with the Hunting Dagger

Nobody said survival was easy — so stay safe out there with a Hunting Dagger! Craftable from a Crafting Bench, it’s most effective when enemies are distracted. There are four rarities to craft, each one stronger than the last:

  • Common Hunting Dagger (craftable at a Level 1 Crafting Bench)
    • Unlock the recipe for the Common Hunting Dagger by adding a Bone to your inventory.
  • Uncommon Hunting Dagger (craftable at a Level 2 Crafting Bench)
    • Unlock the recipe for the Uncommon Hunting Dagger by adding a Cut Amber to your inventory.
  • Rare Hunting Dagger (craftable at a Level 3 Crafting Bench)
    • Unlock the recipe for the Rare Hunting Dagger by adding a Cut Ruby to your inventory.
  • Epic Hunting Dagger (craftable at a Level 4 Crafting Bench)
    • Unlock the recipe for the Epic Hunting Dagger by adding a Cut Sapphire to your inventory.
       

Time for More LEGO Styles

More Fortnite Outfits will get a LEGO Style in v28.20! If you already own these Outfits, their LEGO Styles will be in your Locker after the update:

  • Black Widow (Snow Suit)
  • Blitz Brigade (Team Fortnite)
  • Crossbar Crusher (Team Fortnite)
  • Formation Fighter (Team Fortnite)
  • Launch Day Lewis Hamilton
  • Lewis Hamilton
  • Pass Rush Ranger (Team Fortnite)
  • Punt Paragon (Team Fortnite)
  • Red Zone Renegade (Team Fortnite)
  • Scrimmage Scrapper (Team Fortnite)
  • Snap Squad (Team Fortnite)
  • TD Titan (Team Fortnite)
  • Trench Runner (Team Fortnite)

If an Outfit has a LEGO Style, that means you can use the Outfit in LEGO Fortnite.

Higher Detailed LEGO Styles for Outfits

Some Outfits that already had a LEGO Style will get a higher detailed one! These higher detailed LEGO Styles will temporarily replace the original ones, but you’ll have the option to choose between both starting later this month. Here are the Outfits that’ll receive an updated LEGO Style with v28.20:

  • Candyman
  • Cuddle King
  • Fallen Love Ranger
  • Heartbreaker
  • Lovely
  • Lovethorn
  • Pinkie
  • Queen of Hearts
  • Tess

Major Improvements, Adjustments, and Bug Fixes

Gameplay

  • You can fly faster in Sandbox worlds!
  • It’s easier to place builds close to each other.
  • Commute and converse… You can talk to Villagers while on a moving object, including a Dynamic Foundation!
  • Items will be returned to your inventory after you change recipes at a Crafting Bench.
  • Tree logs will remain between gameplay sessions.
  • Village Squares can no longer be placed on things not attached to the ground, since this was causing Village Squares to break.
  • Upgrading a Crafting Bench while another player is using it will work properly. (Waste your resources no more!)
  • Fixed an issue where using the “Deposit” or “Deposit Stack” options to put seeds in soil could make seeds go missing.
  • Fixed an issue where getting resources from Chests wouldn’t make recipes unlock.
  • Fixed an issue where the building limitation system would sometimes report that an area was too dense to build in, even though it wasn’t.
  • Fixed an issue where the cold status could stay on you if you were eliminated with the status.
  • Fixed an issue where wolves would sometimes run away from you for no reason.
  • Reduced the likelihood of the same Villager spawning twice.
  • The grass is always greener over there, and apparently, the storms are louder… A storm happening in the Grasslands will no longer scare Villagers in other biomes.


Stability and Performance

  • The frame rate when shadows are around is improved.
  • Improved stability so that crashes aren’t as likely.


Physics

  • Fixed an issue where Dynamic Foundations could disappear when traveling long distances at high speeds.
  • Fixed an issue where Toys could disappear after builds on a nearby Dynamic Foundation broke. 
  • Fixed an issue where some crumbled builds could be pushed by players.


UI

  • A “Take All” option has been added to Chests. This is a quick way to get all of a stored resource!
