How to Skip Night Time and Stop the Rain in LEGO Fortnite

Players are wondering if you can skip nighttime and stop rain in LEGO Fortnite. Here’s a quick way to do just that.

LEGO Fortnite was released on Thursday, 7th December, and has been putting up some impressive player counter numbers ever since.

Yesterday, the new game mode hit an all-time high concurrent player count with 2,447,763 players.

Players have been praising Epic Games for how well the game was created, and with many updates to come to enhance the experience, LEGO Fortnite will likely continue to be more popular than the Battle Royale game modes for the foreseeable future.

With a new game mode like LEGO Fortnite, players will likely need some assistance in creating different items and tools.

However, players are also wondering if they can skip the nighttime and stop the rain.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do both.

How to Stop the Rain and Skip The Night in LEGO Fortnite

The nighttime in LEGO Fortnite is different from how it works in other games. If you sleep in LEGO Fortnite, you won’t fast-forward in time.

That means there’s no clear way to skip the nighttime in LEGO Fortnite.

It’s difficult to see anything during nighttime in LEGO Fortnite even with a torch. There are also skeletons wherever you go, so most players stay put until daytime hits again.

The same can be said for when it rains with tools not being accessible when the rain falls. That has led players to find a way to stop the rain and skip the nighttime.

To stop the rain and skip the night in LEGO Fortnite, head over to your bed.

Save your game so you don’t lose any of your progress in your current session and then leave the lobby.

Once you load in again, it’ll be sometime in the afternoon and it’ll be bright and sunny.

That’s the only current way to stop the rain and skip the night in LEGO Fortnite. However, as Epic continued to update and work on the game mode, there may be other ways to do this.

How to find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite (Create Flexwood Rod)

Here’s a quick guide on where you can find Flexwood and create Flexwood Rods in the LEGO Fortnite game mode.

LEGO Fortnite has been a huge success for Epic Games and last night, the concurrent player count for the new game mode hit an all-time high of 2,447,763 players.

With this being completely different from a Battle Royale experience, some players require help to craft certain items or find specific times.

Some resources are needed to upgrade tools or find new recipes in LEGO Fortnite.

One of the important items players need help finding is Flexwood. Here’s a quick guide on how and where to find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite as well as how to create Flexwood Rods.

How and Where to Find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite

In order to get started with this, ensure your crafting bench is at rare rarity or above.

To find and get Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite, you’re going to need a rare Forest Axe. Any other axe would be unable to obtain Flexwood.

You’ll need to get rough amber which you’ll need to head to the dry valley/sand biome.

You’ll find the Amber ores mostly on top of the mountains which you can get to by building stairs.

Pickaxe the ores to get the pieces of amber. You’ll then need to head to a grassland cave to obtain the Knotwood.

Once you’ve done the above, you’ll need to build a gem cutter and put the rough amber into the gem cutter.

The Knotwood Rods can be created by putting the Knotwood into a lumber mill.

Once you have done the above steps, you’ll be able to craft a rare forest axe.

You can find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite in the dry valley. To get the Flexwood, you need to destroy the cactuses you’ll find in dry valley.

How to find and get Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite

To create Flexwood Rods, simply put the Flexood into a lumber sawmill.

How to Upgrade Crafting Bench to Rare and Epic in LEGO Fortnite

Here’s how to upgrade your crafting bench to rare and epic in LEGO Fortnite.

LEGO Fortnite has been out for just over three days and has become a huge success for Epic Games.

Chapter 5 Season 1 has seen record-breaking player numbers outside of live events. Yesterday, 7.6 million, 2.4 million of which were playing LEGO Fortnite.

With any new game mod, especially one with so many new items and crafting recipes, players will likely need some help to upgrade and craft items.

Below, we’ve created a quick guide to help you upgrade your crafting bench to rare and epic in LEGO Fortnite.

Upgrade Crafting Bench to Rare in LEGO Fortnite

In order to upgrade your crafting bench to rare in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll need the following:

  • Knotroot Rod x12
  • Marble Slab x15
  • Sand Claw x6
  • Sand Shell x3

Rare Crafting Bench LEGO Fortnite Upgrade

To get Knotroot and Marble, you’ll need to find a cave. You’ll also need an uncommon forest axe and an uncommon pickaxe to harvest the Knotroot and Marble.

The Knotroot can be obtained by axing away at these objects in caves:

And you’ll need to pickaxe away at the below objects in caves to get yourself some Marble:

You need to put the Knotwood you collect into a lumber mill to create the Knotwood rods. The Marble will need to be placed into a stone breaker to create the marble slab.

Head over to the desert/dry area on the LEGO Fortnite map and destroy the Sand Wolves. Once you eliminate a Sand Wolf, they’ll likely drop a Sand Claw.

The Sand Shells can be obtained by eliminating the Sand Crabs in the desert/dry area.

Once you obtain everything listed above, you need to go to the “bench upgrade” tab and press the upgrade button.

How to Upgrade Crafting Bench to Epic in LEGO Fortnite

For now, upgrading your crafting bench to Epic is the last upgrade until Epic Games adds more content and more levels to upgrade your crafting bench.

However, upgrading your crafting bench to Epic in LEGO Fortnite can be quite difficult due to the materials you need.

You’ll need the below materials to upgrade your crafting bench to Epic:

How to Upgrade Crafting Bench to Epic in LEGO Fortnite

To get copper bars, you’ll need to explore a desert cave which can be found in the dry region of the map.

Copper, Bright, Obsidian, and Blast ores can be found in these desert caves in LEGO Fortnite.

The copper orders are a brown color and look very shiny as seen below:

They’re usually found deeper in the cave, so you’ll likely have a lot of roaming to do in order to find them.

Obsidian Ore is dark, a purple color, and isn’t hard to miss. Like copper, Obisidian is usually found deeper in the desert caves.

You’ll also need Brightcores to upgrade your crafting bench to Epic which are also found in the desert caves and look like this:

Blast Cores are only obtained by defeating specific enemies walking around in the desert caves. They look like a small volcano.

You can either destroy them yourself or wait for them to explode in order to get the blast cores.

You need all of the above to upgrade your crafting bench to epic in LEGO Fortnite as you need to create a Metal Smelter.

Inside of the Metal Smelter, you’re going to use Brightcore and copper to create copper bars.

The obsidian can be thrown into a stone crusher to create Obsidian slabs.

For all of the above, you’ll need a rare pickaxe to get the above ores, which requires 3 sand claws and 3 flexwood rods.

The final part, you’ll need a Brute Scale which can only be obtained from a Brute monster. Brutes can only be found on grasslands.

You’ll need to defeat a brute in the grasslands in order to get the scale.

Once you’ve done all of the above, you can upgrade your crafting bench to Epic rarity.

Here’s a guide from Perfect Score if you’re still struggling:

How to Find and Enter a Cave in a Survival World – LEGO Fortnite Locations

Here is where you can find and enter a cave in a survival world in LEGO Fortnite.

LEGO Fortnite launched earlier today after Epic Games released their final major update of the year.

So far, the mode has been well received and currently accounts for almost half the concurrent players online at the time of writing.

Players are experiencing everything new game mode has to offer including the LEGO Fortnite quest line.

There are a handful of quests players can complete in LEGO Fortnite, one of which requires players to Find and enter a cave in a Survival World.

Here’s where and how you can find and enter a cave in LEGO Fortnite.

Where and How to Find and Enter a Cave in LEGO Fortnite Survival World

Some players have been struggling to find and enter a cave in LEGO Fortnite.

Unfortunately, there’s no set spawn location on the map with each survival world being different. Some players like myself have been lucky enough to find a cave within a short distance of the original starting location when creating a new world.

Cave Locations in LEGO Fortnite Map

Your best bet is to roam around near where you spawned and hope you can find a cave. There appear to be at least a couple of caves in LEGO Fortnite in each biome.

When you do find a cave, before you enter, it’s best to come prepared. It would be best to have a bunch of torches with you to help you see as you navigate the cave.

We’d recommend throwing down torches at the entrance and as you progress through the cave to help you visibility and aid in making your way back out of the cave.

How to Find And Enter a Cave in The Survival World

We’d also recommend taking a villager with you that’ll come with a weapon to help you fend off some of the enemies you’ll come across in the LEGO Fortnite cave.

If you’re finding and entering a cave to also find Knotroot and Marble, you’ll want to bring uncommon weapons, which you can build by upgrading your crafting bench.

Knotroot and Marble can’t be broken with a common weapon, so it would be pointless to enter a cave unless you have an uncommon weapon.

In order to find and enter the cave easier the next time you want to take an adventure, we’d recommend crafting a map marker.

How to Invite an NPC to Live in Any Village in a Survival World – LEGO Fortnite

Here’s how players can complete the “invite an NPC to live in any village in survival” Lego Fortnite quest.

The LEGO Fortnite game mode is now available to play, and players are trying to complete the Trailblazer Tai quests in order to unlock the free skin.

One of the quests requires players to invite an ANPC to live in any village in a survival world. Here’s how to complete the challenge.

Invite an NPC to Live in Any Village in a Survival World

To invite an NPC to live in any village in a survival world, you’ll need to ensure you’re playing in the Survival world.

You’ll then need to build a Village Square which requires 10 wood and 10 granite to create.

You’ll need to select the icon and color for the village.

Once you’ve done that, you should see an NPC appear in your world next to the Village Square you created in the previous step.

Talk to the NPC until you see the option to ask the NPC to join your village.

Invite NPC into any Village Fortnite

If you don’t have a spare bed, you won’t be able to invite the NPC into your village. Be sure to create a bed.

Once you’ve done that and choose the “live in my village” option, the NPC will ask if you have a spot for them to sleep.

Press yes followed by the “make yourself at home!” option. You’ll then complete the challenge.
