LEGO Fortnite update explained | How to recruit animals as 'Farm Friends'
LEGO Fortnite's latest update might be its best one yet, now allowing villagers to befriend animals and recruit them to your farm.
Available as of 23rd April, LEGO Fortnite V29.30 – known as the Farm Friends update – will look to improve farms with various improvements and several new villagers.
This includes master woodworker Cadence, plant enthusiast Ash, nature channeler Brooks, cheery engineer Lana Llane and the unique Guernsey.
Another benefit of the update is that the village recruitment cap has been pushed to 10 per village, with three slots available to villagers, three for animals and the remaining four available for either villagers or animals.
There's a lot to understand, so we've broken it all down below – including how to recruit animals the different resources that come from each.
The first step to recruiting animals is all about gaining their trust. Therefore, you will need to build an Animal House for them to reside in. Well, you didn't expect them to live outside, right?
Falling under the Station category, an Animal House is unlocked at Level 2, and is used to feed animals and farm resources.
The next step is to befriend an animal in the wild. Locate one, pet them and offer an Animal Treat to gain their friendship. Animal Treats are unlocked once an Animal House is built.
From this, lead the animal back to your village, but be aware of dangers along the way. If an animal is upset, it may bolt. It's also important to heal them if they are hurt, so again offer an Animal Treat.
Once the animal has safely made it to the village, assign them to an Animal House, where they will now be part of your 'Farm Friends'.
Just make sure to treat them well by petting them, feeding them and even having a dance by their side. When away, it's best to enlist a villager to look after the animal – or it may flee, if it feels unloved.
