This patch introduces Fishing toLEGO Fortnite– a delightful yet relaxing activity that is a staple in manysurvival-crafting games.

For anyone curious about the ins and outs of fishing in the game, this guide covers all the details they need to know.
How to Get a Fishing Rod
AlthoughLEGO Fortniteis separate from the traditionalFortnite: Battle Royale, the mechanics of fishing follow the same rules. All players need to do is cast their Fishing Rods into any body of water, and wait for it to hook a fish. There are four different tiers of Fishing Rods, and each one has a uniquecrafting recipethat players will first need to unlock.
While the lower-rarity ones are easier to craft, the higher-rarity ones improve the player’s chances of successfully catching a fish. The table below contains the unlock requirements and crafting materials for all types of fishing rods.

How to Fish
Once players have a Fishing Rod, they’ll quickly realize that fishing with just a rod gets difficult when trying to reel in rarer fish species. In this scenario, the next thing they need to do is get some juicy bait.
UsingBait Bucketsis a surefire way of increasing the chances of attracting and catching higher-rarity fish inLEGO Fortnite. Throwing a Bait Bucket into a body of water instantly creates the perfectFishing Spot.
As is the case with Fishing Rods, there are four different tiers of Bait Buckets, and the higher quality bait players use, the better chances they’ll have of reeling in rarer fish. The four tiers of Bait Buckets, along with the necessary requirements, are covered in the table below.
