LEGO® Fortnite Odyssey - Quick Build
MASTER YOUR BUILD
The way you build in Odyssey is changing - for good.
Starting with update 42.00, we’re rolling out the biggest change to building yet - and it’s only the first step. From now through the rest of the year, every update adds a new building skill, each one stacking on the last, taking you from everyday building to true Master Builder. This is where it starts.
So, what's first? Say hello to Quick Build.
Quick Build replaces Guided Build as the new default way to build in Odyssey - and it's a big leap forward. Faster builds, less grind, more of your ideas brought to life.
The more you build, the faster it gets - and the more pieces you can place at once - so those huge creations come together in a fraction of the time. Give it a go and see how it clicks.
Prefer building brick by brick? That's still here too, whenever you want.
The full trailer drops August 20 on our LEGO Fortnite YouTube channel. Get ready!
How does Quick Build work?
- The more you build, the faster it gets
- Building picks up speed as you go, and you'll place more pieces at once.
- Take on bigger builds
- Large, detailed creations that used to take forever now come together in a fraction of the time.
- Brick by brick, whenever you want
- Prefer the hands-on approach? It's still here - and it still uses resources, just faster and smoother than before.
- Built for mobile too
- We've fine-tuned the touch controls, and you'll see the full blueprint as you build - so building on the go feels better than ever.
Your builds, in the game.
This community is what makes Odyssey what it is - so we’re putting YOUR builds front and center. Two Creator Builds are joining Odyssey, each carrying its own Creator Crest: a mark that says this one came from a player.
First up is a build from Haskyns’ Skyfang Marauder (August 20) - just log in, hit the pop-up and it’s yours. A second build from Spixylei’s Crown of the Abyss lands on August 27th, so there’s more on the way!
Beyond these building improvements and new tools, there’s more content and updates planned for the rest of the year. Stay tuned for more news soon!
🏁 Build Disaster Community Challenge
You've got the parts. The only question is: how fast can YOU build?
Parts flying everywhere? Bricks tumbling off mid-build? Even better - that's the good stuff. Show us your funniest, most chaotic moment building either of the two new Creator Builds from this update. Post your clip on the LEGOFortnite subreddit and use the #LEGOBuiltDifferent flair so we can catch it, starting August 20. Let's see what you've got!
✅ LEGO® Fortnite Bug Fixes & Improvements

- Exotic Rear Bumper 04 will no longer change position when you rejoin your world
- Swivel plates now trigger audio
- Fixed an issue where players may get stuck in the Spinjitzu animation
- Resolved an issue where the Ninjago Island quest would spawn inside a mountain

- Known Issues Being Fixed in a Future Game Update:
- Occasionally, building certain Quick Build pieces can cause the progress modal to get stuck in an unusual state. If this happens, hovering over or placing another piece or exiting and re-entering Quick Build should resolve it
- The resource info widget in the Build menu sometimes doesn't display the full list of materials needed to construct an item
- On mobile, the main tabs aren't fully visible by default - players need to scroll to see all available options
- On mobile, subtabs may disappear after opening and closing the Build menu - switching to a different tab and back will make them reappear
- We're investigating an issue causing some players to experience unusually long teleportation loading screens
- We're investigating an issue that may prevent players from selecting a world to play in. As a temporary workaround, switching to a different game mode and back should restore world selection
- On the controller, Quick Build piece information can visually block the UI for flying controls
- The Quick Build progress percentage and Pieces Remaining counter only update when the cursor moves to a new part
See you in Odyssey,
