ENTER SAND AND GLASS

v28.30 adds two new resources to LEGO Fortnite. With a Shovel, dig Sand out of the ground in sandy areas.

Some people don’t like Sand because it, of course, gets everywhere. It’s even in glass… Craft Glass with Sand and a Crafting Bench!

Make it easier to see what’s far away! The Spyglass is a telescopic tool that magnifies distant views. Unlock the recipe for a Spyglass by adding Glass to your inventory and having a Crafting Bench in your world. Then, you guessed it, craft one at a Crafting Bench!

LET THE COMPASS GUIDE YOU!

It’s easy to forget where you’re going unless you open your map. But if you craft a Compass, you won’t need your map. The Compass adds basic navigation to the HUD, telling you which direction you’re facing. Unlock the recipe for a Compass by adding Glass to your inventory and having a Crafting Bench in your world. Then — you know where this is going — craft one at a Crafting Bench.

Want to add navigation AND map markers to your HUD? Then, craft the Advanced Compass, whose recipe is unlocked the same way as the regular Compass.

NEW VILLAGER OPTIONS

Turk isn’t the only one who can appear as a potential new Villager. Fellow fishers Outcast and Bob can, too!

NEW CHARMS, HOW CHARMING!

There are new charms to discover and craft along your adventure.

The Reflection Charm deals some damage you take back at your attacker when you get hurt. The Wavebreak Charm increases your swimming speed, making you faster the more Wavebreak Charms you are equipped with. Different fish are required to craft both charms, so pick up that Fishing Rod and reel ‘em in!
