LEGO Fortnite Expeditions is the newest PvE experience to be introduced to the Metaverse. You and up to three other players can dive into challenging missions to stop the evil Mask Maker Daigo from destroying the world!
Supernova Academy will act as your base of operations and will host other aspiring heroes. You'll be able to explore this POI and interact with faculty/staff like academy founder Vengeance Jones and hero-turned-mentor Hope.
In co-op Missions, you'll be able to take down forces of evil that appear in waves. You can also explore the map and aid citizens in need of rescue. In the process, you might also come across Chests packed with resources, currency, or gear to help with your heroism.
To access Missions, you'll need to go to the Academy hub at the Mission Terminal. You'll be able to choose what Missions to undertake or Quick Play to join, whichever Mission needs the most attention. Missions in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions can take place in one of these places in the world:
Utopia City
Spire Excavation Site
Busted Bridge
More to Come!
There are Community Projects to undertake as well, where contributions from everyone will make a difference. Completing Missions will help progress global Community Projects. Successfully finishing them will unlock buffs that apply to all players and unlock new Missions. There are also Academy Assignments to undertake. They'll be given out by faculty/staff.
Each Hero Class in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions provides a different gameplay experience. Complete Missions to level up each Hero Class. There are three available at present:
Shadow Caller: Channel the power of chaotic energy by becoming a Shadow Caller! Fly to survey the battlefield from above and swoop in using Command Shadow, which summons a projectile capable of dealing explosive damage and healing allies. You can also enter Shadow Form to transform into a flock of invulnerable ravens, the perfect getaway vehicle. Shadow Caller's upgrade tree gives you the ability to morph this flexible Hero Class however you wish, whether that be a damage-per-second powerhouse or a critical support role.
The Hunter: The Hunter is the perfect choice for heroes looking to deal massive damage to a single target. Use The Hunter’s Grappler to close the gap to an unsuspecting enemy before unleashing the Bull’s-eye Blade. The Bull’s-eye’s Blade can mark enemies to multiply damage and make attacks more accurate for all players in the Mission. TheHunter’s Trap Dodge deals damage WHILE interrupting enemy attacks. (Multitasking: a great resume booster for after graduation!).
Rift Ripper: Rift Rippers use the power of rifts! Launch Rift Shards to deal with enemies individually, or summon Rift Crystals for wide-range damage. Being in the presence of Rift Crystals will further enhance this class’s abilities, too, granting increased damage and armor augments to all Rift Rippers. It will also provide smaller buffs to other classes! Rift Rippers can also Rift Jump to reach high places, and Rift Dodge to open rifts and escape from danger. (Tired of reading the word “rift” yet?).
There are numerous weapons to choose from and make use of LEGO Fortnite Expeditions. Here's the current list:
Dual Daggers: Embrace your inner ninja with the Dual Daggers, a sharp pair of blades that’ll help you take down some of Daigo’s strongest warriors. Its Dashing Strike can be charged for up to 4 seconds to let loose a flurry of powerful hits, or you can go for Spiral Cuts to deal damage to multiple foes at once.
War Hammer: LEGO Fortnite’s first two-handed melee weapon is the go-to choice for any student looking to minor in the tank role. Capable of handling large groups of enemies with ease, the War Hammer packs a punch, albeit a slow one! The Ham-Stand + Ground Slam can be charged for up to 4 seconds to deliver a heavy-hitting blow to ten enemies, and can even be used to dodge enemy attacks.
Plasma Pistols: When melee weapons don’t quite pass the test, there are the Plasma Pistols! Fire from the hip or aim down sights, the choice is yours! Just make sure you don’t let your pistols overheat. The Sprint Spin attack lets you dash forward and perform a spinning motion while repeatedly firing plasma, a great option if you find yourself in a tight spot surrounded by enemies! If your situation's too perilous, escape backwards ⬅ out of danger while in the air.
You'll need these weapons to defeat Daigo's forces in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions. They are numerous and will come at you in waves. Here is the list:
Spires: They’re sentient! These strange crystal-like beings have spread across different parts of Fortnite.
Light Demon Guard: These fearsome foes are determined to take you down, whether by using their destructive Slam Punch or their bows, dynamite, and swords.
Heavy Demon Guard: These guards mean business and can give your team a heavy setback with their Dual Daggers, War Hammers, and Plasma Pistols.
Kor: One of Daigo’s lieutenants, Kor makes use of otherworldly powers to leap around the battlefield with tremendous speed. Possessing both melee and ranged weapons, and the ability to summon henchmen, don’t underestimate this tricky opponent.
Titans: A truly formidable foe. Face Titans with caution, and preferably with a team!
To celebrate the LEGO Fortnite Expeditions, there are Twitch Drops as well. Be sure to grab them while you can. And on that note, you're now well prepared to explore LEGO Fortnite Expeditions and take on Daigo to bring about peace to reality. You can access the mode from LEGO Fortnite Brick Life and LEGO Fortnite Odyssey.
