You can now build vehicles in Lego Fortnite. As part of the recent update you can build and drive vehicles in your Lego Fortnite world, provided you have enough materials (and patience) to actually make them.
As with most things in Lego Fortnite, it’s not as easy as it sounds. Sure, we’d love to slap some bricks together to make a wonky vehicle, but that’s not how it works. Instead, you will need major storage solutions and plenty of items from across different biomes. Of course, you can always use a pre-existing recipe…
On that note, we’re here to show you how to build a Vehicle and unlock all Vehicle recipes in Lego Fortnite.

How to build a Vehicle in Lego Fortnite
There are two ways you can build a vehicle in Lego Fortnite, you can use a pre-existing recipe once you’ve unlocked it or you can build one from scratch piece by piece. For this section, we’re looking at creating them from scratch.
To build a car from scratch you will need three fundamental components:
- A Power Center – Acts as an engine.
- Wheels – I mean, cars need wheels…
- Seats – Protect that brick-like bottom.
You can add as many or as few wheels and seats as you want to, but you must have at least one Power Center or your vehicle won’t move.
All of the components that you can build for your vehicle can be found in your Build Menu underneath the ‘Toys’ tab.
In this section there are three smaller tabs, and this is what we’ve found in all of them so far:
General
- Dynamic Foundations
- Simple Wheels
- Basic Car Parts
Controls
- Seats
- Power Center
- Powered Wheels
- Turnable Wheels
Vehicle Parts
- Car Jack
- Bumpers
- Vehicle Bases
- Fenders
- Brush Guards
- Suspensions
- Light Bars
Remember, you only need a Power Center, wheels and a seat to make a Vehicle but you can add as much or as little detail as you want to via these items. We recommend adding a Light Bar and Turnable Wheels to your vehicle if you can, it makes driving around a lot easier.
