LEGO Fortnite unleashes an architect’s dream, letting players sculpt brick-tastic boats, houses, and even cars. But imagine the sky’s the limit – what if your creations could soar through the clouds?

Fortnite has given players full rein when it comes to building in LEGO Fortnite that goes well beyond what was possible in the battle royale. 

Some of the most essential items added to LEGO Fortnite are the ‘toys’ which are the main movement mechanics of the game.

The toys consist of things like wheels, thrusters, and even balloons, the latter of which can make anything you build lift into the air. Here’s how to get builds in LEGO Fortnite airborne.

One of the best ways to get a build to fly in LEGO Fortnite is to attach balloons to it. Balloons can be attached to Dynamic Foundations. Regular foundation types will not work with balloons.

Another way to get builds to float is through thrusters. There are two different types of thrusters in LEGO Fortnite, one small and one large. The sizes will be important depending on the size of the build.
