In the Fortnite Update 30.40, you can now utilize Bus Stations to fast travel across their world, making it easier to navigate between different areas. Also, players now have the ability to change the settings of their existing worlds, allowing for a more customizable gameplay experience. Read the full patch notes below.
Fortnite Update 30.40 Patch Notes:
What if you could travel from Dry Valley to the Frostlands in a flash? Impossible? Not anymore! In LEGO® Fortnite v30.40, take a flying bus to fast travel in your world. Maybe it’s a getaway from tough enemies you need — this update also lets you change the settings of a world you already created! v30.40 drops into LEGO Fortnite on August 6 🚌
GET ON THE… BATTLE BUS?
The Battle Bus fast travel network is ready for operation in your world! Bus Stations — a new kind of Station — will already be set up in your world. You can build your own by destroying a Bus Station for Rift Shards, an ingredient for this Station.
At a Bus Station, a familiar-looking bus called a “Battle Bus” will pick you up and take you to a Bus Station of your choice. Get from a Village to your favorite mining spot in seconds!
ENEMIES ON, OFF… CHANGE WORLD SETTINGS IN YOUR CURRENT WORLDS
You no longer have to make a new world if you want to change your settings!
Every setting except your mode (Cozy, Survival, Sandbox, Expert) and Player Elimination can be changed. Just a few heads-up:
- This doesn’t apply to the locked settings in Expert mode.
- If you turn off Enemies (including Storm-Wild Enemies), the existing ones will remain until you defeat them or leave the area.
- If you turn off Friendly Creatures or Villagers, the existing ones will remain until you leave the area.
Like to eat for fun instead of survival? Turn off Hunger! Wanna shake things up with stronger foes? Turn on Storm-Wild Enemies! Play your way in the worlds you’ve already made.
HAVE A BALL(OON) WITH NEW TOYS
Stamina, hunger… all that really matters is that you’re having fun. And nothing’s more fun than new Toys! v30.40 adds a few new ones:
- Pressure Plate: A button you can stand on to turn on channels. The button needs to stay down to work!
- Trigger Plate: Another button you can stand on to turn on channels. Unlike a Pressure Plate, the button doesn’t have to stay down. (Remember that Thrusters will eventually turn off on their own!)
- Unlock the recipe for a Trigger Plate by adding Blast Powder to your inventory.
- Activated Balloon Small: A small balloon that comes uninflated. Inflate it using channel control! (Perhaps a Pressure or Trigger Plate will work?)
- Unlock the recipe for an Activated Balloon Small by crafting a Loom.
- Activated Balloon Large: The same thing as an Activated Balloon Small, but bigger. (Woah.)
- Unlock the recipe for an Activated Balloon Large by crafting a Loom.
