MORE UPDATES!
ROAR
The suit-wearing tiger Oscar joins Jules, Comet, and Lynx as potential new Villagers!
SWEET (…AND SPICY?) TREATS
Nothing like dessert after fending off foes. You’ll unlock the recipes for Ice Cream, Snowberry Ice Cream, and Spicy Ice Cream if you add Snow to your inventory and have a Juicer in your world.
MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS, AND BUG FIXES
GAMEPLAY
New smart transfer feature: transfer all similar items to and from storage.
It’s easier to visually tell when your constructs take damage.
With the new vehicle building features, we had to adjust some durability values. We recommend using higher-rarity resources to strengthen your constructs if any part breaks.
Items can be dropped one at a time when a stack is picked up.
Pools of fish can be found near new (but somehow already run-down) docks that are alongside lakes and rivers.
Made improvements to constructs so they remain stable when entering and exiting caves.
Made stabilization fixes for constructs traveling large distances across the world.
OTHER
The Stormy Emote will be updated to its full, intended animation in LEGO Fortnite.
MORE OUTFITS GET A LEGO STYLE
With v29.10, you’ll find even more LEGO Styles for your favorite Outfits! If you already own these Outfits, their LEGO Styles will automatically be in your Locker.
