With a little bit of time and patience, anyone can replicate this work just by following a straightforward video tutorial.
Epic Games launchedFortnite’s LEGO mode on December 7, unveiling to the world a solid competitor to the massive sandbox gameMinecraftdeveloped by the Microsoft-owned Mojang Studios. The permanentLEGO Fortnitegame mode differs from the usual Battle Royale modeFortniteis known for by making players fight against a hostile world instead of each other. As part of the new experience,LEGO Fortniteadopts survival mechanics while also offering players the creative freedom to build anything they can think of using LEGO’s iconic block system.
OneLEGO Fortniteplayer utilized that freedom to create a fully functional airship. The player, who goes by the name psykrot on Reddit, used building materials likeLEGO Fortnite’s Large Balloons, Small Thrusters, and a whole lot of Rustic blocks, among other things, to achieve their work.

This could indicate a shift in player preference as gamers may want to use theFortniteplatform for something besides Battle Royales.
In addition to the complete creative freedom it provides, players ofFortnite’s new mode could also just be interested inLEGO Fortnite’s combat system that seemingly took inspiration from Soulslike gamessuch as From Software’sDark SoulsandElden Ring.
