Squad Up and Save the Day in LEGO® Fortnite Expeditions!
Brace yourselves heroes-to-be! The world is under attack, and only you can save it. Hop on the Battle Bus in Odyssey or Brick Life starting June 18 to join the adventures of LEGO® Fortnite Expeditions. It’ll also be selectable in Discover!
You’ll enroll in the newly founded Supernova Academy to unlock your super-powered potential. Master extraordinary powers and unlock new skills to make evil flunk out of existence ❌
Choose your path of study and team up with fellow students in 4-player cooperative Missions. As you ace these Missions, you’ll earn Hero XP in Expeditions so you can become the ultimate hero you were destined to be!
What is LEGO Fortnite Expeditions?
LEGO Fortnite Expeditions is a new PvE experience where you and up to three other players can dive into challenging Missions. All on a quest to stop the evil Mask Maker Daigo from destroying the world!
The Supernova Academy will act as your base of operations and will host other aspiring heroes playing at the same time. Explore the academy and interact with faculty/staff like academy founder Vengeance Jones and hero-turned-mentor Hope to piece together the strange events of what’s happening.
Missions
Daigo’s Spires and the rest of his forces have started spawning all across the world and are causing chaos everywhere! Gather your strength, and your fellow heroes-in-training, to put an end to his schemes…
In co-op Missions, take down forces of evil that appear in waves. Go on a detour by exploring the map and aiding citizens in need of rescue! You can also find Chests packed with resources, currency, or gear to help with your heroism.
Access Missions from the Academy hub at the Mission Terminal. At the terminal, either find a specific Mission, or choose Quick Play to join the next available Mission that needs players.
Missions in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions can take place in one of these places in the world:
Utopia City
This city has an unusual knack for attracting villains, so you’ll be spending plenty of time evacuating citizens, setting up comm relays, and deploying Field Generators to prevent future attacks!
Spire Excavation Site
This looks to be where Daigo is digging up those Spires. If you want to uncover the truth and find out how to foil his plan, it’s worth spending some time here.
Busted Bridge
No superhero story is complete without a broken bridge. We’d fix it, but we all know it won’t be long until it gets wrecked AGAIN.
More to Come!
Look out for new Mission locations post-launch, including Demon’s Domain (Daigo’s HQ!) and the academy itself.
Community Projects
When it comes down to it, all students at Supernova Academy are on the same team. Completing Missions will help progress global Community Projects. Successfully finishing Community Projects will unlock buffs that apply to all players, and unlock new Missions.
Academy Assignments
When you’re not completing a Mission, Academy Assignments are tasks given to you by faculty/staff, because it’s still a school after all! There are assignments from founders like Vengeance Jones and Night Rose, and assignments from teachers and students like Morgan Myst.
Hero Classes
Choosing your major is always hard, and that’s no exception here. Each Hero Class in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions provides a different gameplay experience, so you can become the kind of hero the world needs!
Complete Missions to level up each Hero Class. Feel free to mix things up and try different Hero Classes to discover new styles of play! The best education is a well-rounded one — switch classes at any point while at the academy by accessing a Hero Class Terminal.
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.
If you’re looking to escape the heat of battle, you can 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
Eyes on the prize. 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.
Of course, you can’t hunt without traps, and the Hunter’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’ abilities too, granting increased damage and armor augments to all Rift Rippers. It will also provide smaller buffs to other classes!
Let ‘er rip. Rift Rippers can Rift Jump to reach high places, and Rift Dodge to open rifts and escape from danger. (Tired of reading the word “rift” yet?)
Tip: Gain Hero XP by completing Missions and defeating enemies to level up your chosen Hero Class and acquire Skill Points you can spend on Hero Upgrades.
Hero Upgrades are tied to Hero Class, with Hero Classes having unique upgrades.
Tools in the Toolbox
Even the greatest superheroes need a bit of extra power sometimes, so wield one of the tools in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions! Find a Vendor in the academy then exchange Essence earned from Missions to get a random tool.
The Dual Daggers, War Hammer, and Plasma Pistols.
Tools are divided between “weapons” and “gadgets.” Check out the weapons you can get from Vendors:
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
For 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.
Tip: Don’t forget about gadgets! Findable from Missions and available from Vendors, you can equip three of these stat-boosting tools at the same time.
Enemies on the Expedition
Daigo’s forces of destruction are all over the world. But before you can fight back, it’s important to read up on what you’re up against! Let’s turn to page 46 and get the details:
-
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!
Demon Guards, Kor, and a Titan.
Every superhero needs a supervillain arch nemesis, and that’s where Mask Maker Daigo comes in! Daigo awaits your challenge and is the truest test of your heroic abilities… Only through channeling everything you’ve learned at the academy can you stand a chance of victory!
Expeditions and the Rest of LEGO Fortnite
Just fought enemies in Odyssey and looking for more? Planning your battle strategies over in Brick Bay? You don’t have to back out of Odyssey or Brick Life to jump into Expeditions. Instead, you can get into the action directly from either game using a Battle Bus Station!
Speaking of Odyssey, you probably noticed Spires appearing in your world earlier this month… Fortunately, those Spires haven’t been activated by Daigo yet, so your world is spared for now. But be prepared to take action when the Spires activate in July and start spawning Expeditions enemies! It may not be a bad idea to start crafting weapons ahead of time — you’ll be able to craft Expeditions weapons in Odyssey on June 18.
(That’s not everything from Expeditions coming to Odyssey. Hero Classes will arrive in the future!)
Expeditions is all about action, so your Build or Decor items won’t work there. However, you can use any owned Outfit that has a LEGO Style, including from the LEGO Pass or Battle Pass! And hey, the current Battle Pass has a whole bunch of superhero Outfits, including the Superman Outfit that’ll be unlockable in July! You can also get the Outfit early with the Battle Bundle in the Shop.
