How to Build With Blueprints
Picking a structure from the Build menu is the easiest way to get started because it guides you though the process of putting together complex structures. Select the Simple Shack from the Build menu, and pick a place to put it. Where isn’t super important right now, so feel free to get creative or just place it right where you’re standing, and you’ll see that LEGO Fortnite cleared some space and created your building’s foundation.
Walk close enough to the foundation you just laid, and the game will prompt you to Start Build. Hit the associated button, and it’s time to make your house.
Pick a piece from the menu that loads. You have three options, but it doesn’t matter which one you choose. Just pick one, and point your reticle (that little white dot in the middle of your screen) at the blue-tinted areas you see. When it’s pointed at the correct position for your piece, it will snap into place. Hit the build button again, and the part will snap into place with all of the clicky joy of building a real-world LEGO set.
If you’re having trouble finding where to put your piece, just double-tap your jump button, and you can take to the air and fly around to discover the best place to hover and aim while building.
Simple as that! No matter what you’re building in LEGO Fortnite, it’s as simple as picking the part you want, picking the location of the part and placing the part.
And if you don’t like what you built for whatever reason, it’s even easier to make it go away. Just walk up to it and attack, and within a few hits, it’ll be gone.
Your Build menu doesn’t have everything you can use, though. If you want what we’d generally call tools, which includes everything from axes to shovels and raw materials like wood, you can grab those from your All Items menu. Just select what you want and hit the Add button.
