Lego Fortnite players found a way to make steerable cars and planes

Lego Fortnite, the newest spinoff of the classic battle royale, hasn’t even been live for a week yet and fans are already hard at work finessing their building skills, using Lego pieces to make some really cool stuff. It’s the dominant game mode in Fortnite at the moment — Lego Fortnite has already boasted 2.45 million concurrent players, a wild number. And these players are using the inventive new building capabilities of Lego to create extremely cool cars and planes — among many other creations.

Part of what’s impressive is the way players have found workarounds for steering. Making cars and aircraft were definitely intentional options; the official trailer shows players flying into the air in structures using balloons and thrusters. But players haven’t found any steering wheels in the game, at least at the time of writing — though steering wheels do exist in physical Lego sets. However, there are lever switches that can toggle thrusters on or off. And so players have positioned those thrusters on either side of a car, and toggled them on or off to steer their vehicles.
