How to eat food in LEGO Fortnite

To eat food in LEGO Fortnite, you simply need to have some food in your inventory, which is available on your quick bar. Simply equip the food as you would with a weapon, and then click, as you would to punch, and you’ll eat the food, reducing your hunger levels.

How to find food in LEGO Fortnite

Finding food is simple, as it can be found everywhere. The easiest way to get some quick food is the berries you’ll see on bushes surrounding where you first spawn. These won’t fill you up massively, but are a great option if you’re only looking for a quick fix, and will certainly be enough to tide you over at the start.

Aside from that, you can also find food in other locations. Killing animals like the chickens that spawn near your starting point will provide you with meat, while other fruits and vegetables can be found growing nearby, especially in Grassland areas. However, much of this will need to be cooked before you can eat it.

How to cook food in LEGO Fortnite

Cooking food is simply a matter of building a Grill. Fairly early on, you’ll unlock the ability to construct a Grill. Head around your camp and collect 30x Granite, which is the amount needed to build it, and simply place it down somewhere. Don’t worry about it being inside, because you can still use a Grill even when it’s raining.

Alex’s Advice

You can eat meat without cooking it, but you won’t receive as much healing or reduction in hunger as you would if you cooked it first.

To cook something, approach your Grill and interact with it. From here, you’ll see a list of recipes you can currently make, as well as the ingredients you need to make it. Deposit the ingredients for your selected recipe, and a yellow bar will appear, showing you the progress of your cooking. Once everything is cooked, you can withdraw it and eat it.

That’s it for everything you need to know about eating food in LEGO Fortnite. Make sure you know how to craft weapons and become stronger in LEGO Fortnite, and be sure to know how to restore health in LEGO Fortnite too.
