Can you pet animals in LEGO Fortnite?

Explore the rich content of LEGO Fortnite, where various animals provide rewards under specific conditions, making the game experience even more engaging.

Fortnite’s LEGO collaboration went live on Thursday, December 7, introducing a new Minecraft-like game mode. Given the clear Minecraft influence, the mode’s most notable elements center around crafting, building, and survival mechanics.

As such, LEGO Fortnite encourages players to create their unique worlds and even invite their friends along for the ride.

But there’s much more going on than meets the eye. For example, several different types of animals roam around that may deserve a little attention.

Can players pet animals in LEGO Fortnite?

As noted by the popular Can You Pet the Dog Twitter account, yes, it is possible to pet wildlife in Fornite’s LEGO mode.

The official LEGO Fortnite page shared more insight, noting that players can interact with the following creatures: Chickens, Cows, and Sheep. Brutes, on the other hand, probably won’t take kindly to such behavior.

There may not be any dogs to pet but you can pet the:

The ability to pet animals isn’t the only benefit that wildlife creatures provide in LEGO Fortnite. Petting the Cows, Chicken, and Sheep also rewards players with crafting materials, such as milk, eggs, and wool. (It is also worth noting that LEGO Fortnite’s animals may drop different loot if a player kills them instead.)

Notably, the ongoing LEGO collaboration constitutes one of three modes coming to Fortnite. A Rocket League-style racing experience will become available on Friday, December 8.

Finally, Fortnite Festival is a mode built by Harmonix, the development team behind Rock Band; it’s scheduled to go live on Saturday, December 9. The Weeknd will headline the mode’s accompanying Festival event.
