Fortnite x Overwatch[]

Busan Sanctuary, Hanamura Courtyard, King's Row Tower, and bases inspired by Watchpoint: Gibraltar are now on the Island. At King's Row Tower, a Payload spawns each match after it unlocks in the Showdown, rewarding Overwatch loot to everyone who escorts it home.

Tracer and Mercy also bring their signature weapons to the loot pool:

• Pulse Pistols puts you in first-person mode, lets you rewind back a few seconds to your previous position and undo damage taken, and lets you Blink to zip short distances.
• Caduceus Staff latches a healing beam onto teammates to restore their health and shields, and while it's equipped you can glide through the air.

Competitive Notes[]

With the FNCS Major Summit LAN coming up, we’re keeping the Competitive Battle Royale meta consistent by maintaining a loot pool similar to the previous game update. This means:

• Tracer's Pulse Pistols and Mercy's Caduceus Staff are disabled
• The Payload Rift Anomaly is disabled
• Skyline Deployers and FlowBerry Mist Grenades will remain in the Competitive loot pool

Win Rivalries for your team in the Act III Showdown to unlock new updates on the Island and items for your Locker:

• Overwatch Payload Rift Anomaly
• Orca MV-261 Dropship Landmark
• Overwatch Cache Chests
• Hero Cache Chests
• Overwatch Mercy's Crest Spray

Trialing Major Zero Build Changes[]

From infinite tactical sprint while your Pickaxe is out, new Pocket Items, and more… Zero Build just got a major refresh for the remainder of Chapter 7 Season 2

• Everyone now drops in with a Pistol, a Small Shield Potion and a Pocket Item
• Pocket Items are unlimited-use items with cooldowns that boost mobility and survivability
  • Choose from Shockwave Grenades, Med Mist Grenades and Shield Bubbles
  • Swap your equipped Pocket Item at Vending Machines around the map

Update v40.30

LEGO® Fortnite Odyssey - STAR WARS Galactic Builds[]

Din Djarin and Grogu have come to you![]

• The legendary Mandalorian and galaxy’s cutest icon, Grogu, has touched down in your world. Complete their vacation tasks, and you'll unlock sleek hovering Vehicle Blueprints and Guided Builds as your reward!
• FYI: Din Djarin and Grogu will only appear in worlds with a player-built village.
• New Journals and rewards unlock each week throughout May, on these dates: 5/15–5/16, 5/22–5/24, and 5/29–5/30
• Din Djarin and Grogu can be recruited as permanent villagers during their stay, but if you don't recruit them before the new LEGO Fortnite update drops, they'll pack up and leave your world for good.

6 hovering Vehicle Blueprints up for grabs:[]

• Aratech Civilian Speeder Bike
• SoroSuub Landspeeder
• SoroSuub Deluxe Landspeeder
• Ubrikkian Cargo Speeder
• Boxcar Speeder Bike (also unlockable after the event ends)
• Jalopy Landspeeder (also unlockable after the event ends)

4 Guided Builds inspired by Tatooine's iconic spaceport:[]

• Mos Espa Bazaar Pavilion
• Mos Espa Speeder Garage
• Mos Espa Manor
• Mos Espa Moisture Farm

Introducing the Hover Brick![]

• A brand-new toy inspired by the Star Wars universe! Snap it onto your creations and watch them glide effortlessly across the landscape. Land traversal will never feel the same again.
• The Hover Brick counteracts gravity, letting your builds glide effortlessly above the ground. Flip the switch and watch your creations rise!
• Track down The Mandalorian and strike up a conversation. He'll show you the ropes of the brand-new Hover Brick! Once you've chatted with Mando, you'll unlock your very first Hover Vehicle Guided Build, putting you on the fast track to crafting your own Star Wars-style ride.
• Then it's time to build, boost, and blast off into your very own galactic adventure!
• You'll need Durasteel and Plastoid,, the essential ingredients for getting your hovercraft off the ground. Lucky for you, the Star Wars-themed enemies invading the Main Island are packing exactly the ingredients you need, so suit up and start farming!
• Complete Din Djarin and Grogu's vacation requests to earn brand-new vehicle Blueprints designed specifically to take advantage of the Hover Brick. From sleek speeders to rugged skiffs, the galaxy's coolest rides are yours to claim.
• Tackle Din Djarin's quest line, and you'll be rewarded with the resources you need to get your whole fleet hovering. Helping the Mandalorian pays off, literally!
• We've reshuffled the Mobility tab in the Contraptions menu, making it easier to find what you need!

Pro Tips for Hover Brick:[]

• Place the Hover Brick and use a wrench to interact with it. Then set a channel that can be activated with a driver's seat or switch.
• Hover Bricks lift to a set distance from the ground. If they’re placed too high in a build, they won’t lift.
• Hover Bricks have a weight limit.
• For a smooth, stable ride, try placing four Hover Bricks at opposite corners of your build.
• Pair them with Thrusters to add steering and propulsion.

Lightsaber Overhaul[]

• Three New Blade Colors have arrived! Choose from White, Yellow, and Purple — joining Blue, Green, and Red for a total of six color options.
• Your blade color now reflects how you fight — choose wisely!
  • Every Lightsaber now comes with one of three distinct combat styles, each with its own signature attacks and special abilities:
    • Defense (Blue & White) — Block incoming strikes and fight back enemies with devastating counterattacks.
    • Aggression (Red & Purple) — Go on the offensive with relentless combos. Just keep an eye on your stamina!
    • Fluidity (Green & Yellow) — Soar into battle with acrobatic aerial combos and unmatched mobility.
• Craft Your Own at the Rebel Workbench
  • Lightsabers are no longer one-and-done legendary finds — you can now forge your own at the Rebel Workbench in Tier 4, 6, and 8 rarities. Heads up: crafted Lightsabers are durable but can break with heavy use, so keep a backup handy!
• Hunt for Kyber Crystals
  • A brand-new resource has entered the galaxy. Kyber Crystals are the heart of every Lightsaber. Track them down to craft your own.
• What About My Old Lightsabers?
  • All existing Lightsabers, including those gifted by Captain Bravara, looted from Imperial Bunkers, or earned through the Codex, will be converted to Tier 4 Lightsabers with durability. Your collection isn't going anywhere!
• Power Up with Runes
  • Lightsabers can now be enhanced at the Rune Forge. Apply Runes to customize your blade and tailor it to your playstyle.
• Arm Your Allies
  • You can now hand off Lightsabers to your NPC followers. Build a saber-wielding squad and storm the battlefield together!

Kyber Crystals — The Heart of Every Lightsaber[]

• A legendary new resource has arrived in your world! Kyber Crystals are the key ingredient for crafting your very own Lightsaber, and hunting them down is half the adventure.
• Kyber Crystals come in all six Lightsaber colors: Blue, Green, Red, Purple, White, and Yellow. The crystal you find determines the color (and fighting style!) of the blade you craft, so collect them all to master every combat form.
• Crystals come in Tier 4, 6, and 8 varieties. The rarer the crystal, the more powerful the Lightsaber you can forge with it.
• Where to Find Them
  • On the Main Island — Take down Star Wars-themed enemies, crack open special chests, and complete event rewards to score crystals during the limited-time event.
  • On the Rebel Island — Battle Star Wars-themed enemies, loot chests, and earn rewards both during and after the event, making this your go-to crystal-hunting spot once the celebration ends.

New Creatures from a Galaxy Far, Far Away[]

• Porg — These adorable little birdlike critters are as charming as they are harmless. Lead one back to your barn to tame it and add a feathered friend to your village.
• Bantha — Big, woolly, and surprisingly mellow. These gentle giants can also be tamed by guiding them home to your barn, perfect for any farm in need of a Tatooine touch.
• Nexu — This vicious predator boasts bone-crushing jaws, a deadly pouncing leap, and absolutely zero chill. Approach with caution and a weapon.
• Rancor — A towering nightmare of muscle and rage. The Rancor lives for one thing: leveling everything in its path. Bring your bravest squad…and maybe a Lightsaber.
• These creatures will roam the Main Island for the duration of the Star Wars event. Once the celebration ends, they'll relocate to make their permanent home on Star Wars Rebel Island, so if you want to encounter them on the Main Island, the clock is ticking!
• Any Porgs or Banthas you tame on the Main Island during the event will stay in your village permanently, even after the event wraps up. Don't miss your chance to lock in these galactic companions while they're still around!

Additions:[]

• We tracked down and fixed the issue causing stutters and frame rate drops while building, especially on lower-end hardware.
• Starting with this update, Bus Stations will now glow while Fast Travel is in use.
• Look up — the skies have changed! For the duration of the Star Wars event, your world's skybox has been transformed:
  • Twin suns now blaze overhead, Tatooine-style; the moon has been replaced by the Death Star, looming ominously above, and keep your eyes peeled for X-Wing flyovers zooming across the sky!
• We've redesigned the channel modification screen for vehicle toys from the ground up! All 10 channels are now laid out in a cleaner, more intuitive format, making it way easier to understand how the channel system actually works and dial in your vehicles exactly the way you want.
• We've majorly improved the flip input for vehicles; instead of just spinning you in place, it now does a much better job of getting your ride back on its wheels (or hover pads) where it belongs. Smaller vehicles, especially wheeled ones, will feel the biggest difference. Less time stuck upside down, more time tearing across the landscape!

✅ LEGO® Fortnite Bug Fixes & Improvements[]

• Fixed an issue where the landscape could be missing when using the Klom Home Potion, Bus Travel, or direct teleports to the Monastery
• You can now collapse the tracking HUD when using a controller
• The Jump button now responds correctly after exiting Fly Mode
• Fixed an issue where some players weren’t able to pick up items
• Vehicles can now be used near a specific area on the map
• Fixed an issue where players would hold a Pickaxe instead of their equipped item
• The unblocked recipes in the Mastery Tree are appearing correctly on the crafting bench
• Thrusters are no longer incorrectly mapped to the same joystick
• The Storm Crawler now drops rewards accordingly after being defeated
• Airship cannons now correctly highlight when viewed with a wrench
