Lego Fortnite Patch v28.30: Fishing Rod, New Creatures, Outfit Styles & More

Lego Fortnite's latest update, v28.30, brings an array of exciting new features and improvements to the thrilling Open World mode!. Here's a detailed look at what's new in this update.

LEGO Fortnite v28.30 Update

Introduction of Fishing Rod

The biggest innovation is the introduction of the Fishing Rod in Lego Fortnite. You can easily craft the new weapon in a Crafting Bench. There are four rarities to craft, each one better than the last:

• Common Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 1 Crafting Bench) - Unlock the recipe for the Common Fishing Rod by adding a Cord to your inventory.
• Uncommon Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 2 Crafting Bench) - Unlock the recipe for the Uncommon Fishing Rod by adding a Knotroot Rod to your inventory.
• Rare Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 3 Crafting Bench) - Unlock the recipe for the Rare Fishing Rod by adding a Flexwood Rod to your inventory.
• Epic Fishing Rod (craftable at a Level 4 Crafting Bench) - Unlock the recipe for the Epic Fishing Rod by adding a Frostpine Rod to your inventory.

Introduction of Fishing Spot with a Bait Bucket

But there is another way to catch fish and that is with the Bait Bucket! All you need to fish is a Fishing Rod and water. But fish are a slippery
bunch, so don’t just cast your line and expect fish to flock. Throw bait into water to create a Fishing Spot!

Get bait from a Bait Bucket, which has also four rarities you can craft. The rarer the bucket, the more likely you are to attract a fish:

• Common Bait Bucket (craftable at a Food Processor)
• Uncommon Bait Bucket (craftable at a Juicer)
  
• RareBait Bucket (craftable at a Juicer)
  
• Epic Bait Bucket (craftable at a Juicer)
  

Creatures to catch

What would a fishing rod be if you couldn't catch anything? That's why Epic has added the following new creatures to Lego Fortnite:

• Orange Flopper
• Blue Flopper
• Green Flopper
• Vendetta Flopper
• Black and Blue Shield Fish
• Purple Thermal Fish
• Raven Thermal Fish
• Silver Thermal Fish
• Blue Slurp Fish
• Purple Slurp Fish
• Yellow Slurp Fish
• Blue Small Fry
• Cuddle Jelly Fish
• Slurp Jelly Fish
• Molten Spicy Fish

What do you do with all the fish you catch? The update introduces the Food Processor Station, allowing players to transform their catches intodelicious dishes like Fish Filets and Black and Blue Shieldfish Sushi.

Different fish can be found based on the biome and water you’re fishing in, and also the weather and time of day! Tackle the fishing pastime by catching the Legendary version of each fish.
