LEGO Fortnite has had over four different seasons now and each one has brought new advancements to the game mode such as vehicles, biomes, builds, weapons, and gameplay mechanics that have allowed players to explore the world more dynamically.
However now that Epic is turning Fortnite into an ecosystem with multiple game modes like the 5v5 Ballistic and OG mode, it is also rebranding LEGO mode into LEGO Fortnite Odyssey with its first Storm Chasers update which brings a known threat.
If you want to check out what’s coming to the game, here are the full patch notes.
LEGO Fortnite Odyssey Storm Chasers update full patch notes
The world of LEGO® Fortnite was first assembled one year ago, and it’s grown a lot since then. We’re excited to share that LEGO Fortnite has a new name — LEGO Fortnite Odyssey!
When you head into Discover, you’ll see LEGO Fortnite is now its own unique category within Fortnite. There, you’ll find LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, LEGO Group-made islands, creator-made LEGO islands, and LEGO Fortnite Brick Life, a new social roleplay experience launching on December 12!
In LEGO Fortnite Odyssey the Storm King has thundered onto the scene in the survival mode’s latest update: Storm Chasers! With his storm-wild legion, led by Raven, the Storm King has everything he needs to complete his sinister quest to consume all. It’s up to you and your friends to stop him!
Find the Storm Chaser Village, meet new friends, and build up the strength to take down this electrifying evil. As you go about your journey, battle all-new foes, brave perilous dungeons, and build powerful new weapons using improved crafting mechanics.
New Village
You’re not the only one trying to fight back against the Storm King… so are the Storm Chasers! You’ll find this heroic ensemble of do-gooders, including their determined leader Carl Ruckus, and the big-brained Meteorologist Dr. Borrasca, taking cover in the Storm Chaser Village.
As you get to know the crew, they’ll give you goals to complete while you’re out on your adventures that’ll help you progress toward your ultimate goal of defeating the Storm King. Got various requests to complete? Keep track of your progress using your handy Journal! From here, you can also pin goals to your HUD to easily track them from across your current world.
Storm weather and dungeons
You’re gonna need more than an umbrella to deal with these storms. The Storm King’s invasion has warped the very fabric of reality, causing enormous storm systems to appear at random locations across the map!
There are tons of secrets waiting for those brave enough to venture into these shrouded areas… just try not to get zapped by Lightning Strikes as you explore.
You’ll find a Storm Dungeon at the center of the storms, each of which holds a fragment of the Storm King’s electrifying power at its core. Navigate your way through the dangers to strike a blow to his almighty influence, and get one step closer to liberating your world. Just be careful as the closer you get to the end, the bigger the dangers you’ll have to contend with!
Once you conquer a Storm Dungeon, the surrounding storm will disappear – meaning you’re free to explore the area without fear of being zapped. But it won’t take long for the Storm King’s thunderous might to recharge. After 24 hours, conquered Storm Dungeons are reborn with new pathways, dangers, and puzzles. Be prepared to conquer a new challenge every time!
New Villains and threats
Prepare to take on the Storm King’s Acolytes! This ferocious faction of fanatics is causing havoc throughout the worlds of LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. Keep your eyes peeled for the Acolyte’s most Elite units, who have special abilities granted to them by the villainous king himself. Be wary of the Storm Crawlers too, they give a nasty shock!
Raven
The Storm King’s right-hand man! Raven will appear somewhere within the world after you’ve helped the Storm Chasers significantly advance their village. Defeat this fearsome foe, and you’ll be able to break the arcane lock keeping a mysterious gateway at the centre of your world’s largest storm closed.
The Storm King
Send this menacing monarch back to his own dimension! Step through the gateway after taking down Raven and you’ll be teleported to the Storm King’s lair. This multi-stage boss battle will be the ultimate test of your wits, battle skills, and survival instincts — bringing along some friends for reinforcements is highly recommended.
Emerge victorious, and you’ll be well-rewarded for your heroic efforts with epic loot! Drops include the Thunderclap Blade, Cyclone Pickaxe, and Shatterhorn Fragments, which you can use to craft powerful weapons and improved tools. But the fight isn’t over just yet… After 24 hours, the Storm King will power back up! Gather your friends and take him down again to earn more rewards.
New Adventure? New Gameplay Mechanics!
The Storm Chasers Update comes with an electrifying number of gameplay improvements, from an overhaul of progression systems to all-new crafting systems.
Progress your adventure anywhere, anytime
From the dusty sands to the frozen wildlands — the enemy difficulty has now been equalized across biomes, giving you the freedom to take your adventure anywhere you choose! To improve balance further, the health and damage of enemies have also been adjusted across the board.
Component-based Crafting
Build your way out of any situation, with whatever you’ve got to hand. The Storm Chasers Update introduces Component-based crafting, meaning you’ve now got more flexibility to decide which materials you’d like to use to build your favorite weapons and tools. But think carefully, as the quality of the materials you decide to use when crafting will affect the attributes and rarity of the end result.
Several improvements have also been made to resource-gathering to make it more intuitive. Wood, Stone, Metal, Gem, and Rift are each assigned a Power Tier that conveys their rarity, with Wood being the lowest (Common) and Rift being the highest (Legendary).
The Legendary Forge
Build your ultimate end-game weapon! The Legendary Forge is an upgrade station you can build to boost your gear to new heights. Imbue a Tier 4 weapon or Tool with Rift Crystals, unlocking its yet-untapped potential. You must then use the Rifted item to increase the Rift energy flowing through it, until it evolves into its final form, unlocking hidden stats! The Storm King won’t know what hit him.
Down but Not Out
Peely is down, someone help him up! When you run out of health, other players and NPCs can now revive you and get you back into battle.
Vehicle-Guided Builds
Travel the world in style with these new guided Builds! The Lil’ Barge is just the thing for minifigures who prefer to keep dry while navigating the waters, while the speedy Storm Chaser will get you from A to B in no time. You can unlock these Builds by progressing through the Storm King’s Questline.
Bring along a friend with Couch Co-Op!
The Storm King will fall twice as fast with two heroes! LEGO Fortnite Odyssey is fully compatible with split-screen on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
Here’s a quick reminder on how to access split-screen in LEGO Fortnite:
- Start Fortnite and go to the LEGO Fortnite Lobby.
- Connect the second controller.
- Select the second player’s console account. (Note: Guest and Quick Play console accounts are not supported.)
- After picking a console account, Fortnite will automatically ask the player to link their Epic account. (If they link their Epic account, they can access their Locker Outfits, Passes, Quests, and other progress.)
- After the second player is logged into Fortnite, they will appear in the Lobby.
- Hold onto your bricks. The split-screen mode will automatically begin when you start LEGO Fortnite!
LEGO Pass: Chill & Thrill
Taking down the Storm King is thirsty work, so grab a refreshment at Peely’s Juice Bar! This Decor Bundle is just one of the oddities you’ll find to add to your Odyssey in the Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass!
The Chill & Thrill LEGO Pass will use the newly announced progression system. That means it’ll be included as part of Crew and will be progressed using XP acquired from any source across Fortnite! This pass will also have only one track, including free and premium rewards.
There are five Decor Bundles you can grab for free in the Chill & Thrill Pass, as well as two Loading Screens, three Player Banners, and the Raven’s Mausoleum Build. They say it’s where villains like to roost.
You’ll be able to unlock an additional 11 Decor Bundles by purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade for 1,400 V-Bucks, including the Lounge Tent and Arcade Tent! There are also extra Builds up for grabs, including the Main Stage Build as the final Premium reward in the Pass.
After purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade, you’ll instantly unlock the Raven Team Syd Outfit. Whether you’re using its LEGO Style or Fortnite Style, it’s hauntingly cheerful.
Heads-up! The LEGO Chill & Thrill Pass will be available to progress until March 11 at 4 AM ET. Its free rewards, premium rewards, and the Raven Team Syd Outfit reward are not exclusive to the Pass, as you may be able to purchase them in the Fortnite Shop later.
