United States Lego Fortnite Adds Drivable Vehicles and Steering Wheels
The newest update for Epic Games’ Lego Fortnite arrived on March 26 and added vehicles, steering wheels, and other mechanical items to the survival game.
This update has been highly requested by players since the launch of Lego Fortnite last December, as the game had wheels with no way to steer them. The full contents are laid out in a post on the Fortnite blog.
Three vehicle types were added as preset Builds. The Speeder is a single-seat vehicle that can move quickly between different biomes. The Offroader seats four, and is good for multiplayer parties. Finally, the hauler has four seats and a large space in the back that can transport cargo or more players.
If players do not want to use the preset builds, they can also create their own unique vehicles using Vehicle Parts. To be classified as a vehicle, a Power Center, wheels, and seats are required. Power Centers act as engines, with Power Cells acting as a fuel that determines how long a player can drive for. Turnable wheels work in conjunction with the Driver’s Seat to allow for steering, while Powered Wheels simply push the vehicle forward faster.
A new Station, the Compost Bin, has also been added, which allows players to recycle their items into either Soil, Fertilizer, or the new Biomass, which is used to create the Power Cells that fuel the vehicles.
The newly-added wrench allows players to create up to three different channels for different switches and thrusters on the same object so that multiple sets of thrusters can be set off at different times. Finally, the Illuminator acts as a lamp to light up dark areas of the world.
In addition to the new items, Oscar, Jules, Comet, and Lynx have been added as potential Villagers. A host of new outfits have also received a Lego Style.
In terms of gameplay changes and bug fixes, durability has been adjusted and it is easier to tell when an object is taking damage. Item transfer and dropping has also been made more convenient with the ability to transfer all similar objects in and out of a chest at once. Moving objects have also been made more stable while entering caves and traveling long distances. Comments
