Although animals have been present in LEGO Fortnite since the game’s launch, players have only been able to tame them in the latest Farm Friends update. This patch adds animal husbandry, along with some useful new items.
However, there are some limitations to the animal husbandry system in LEGO Fortnite, so make sure you have a plan before you start bringing random animals back to your village. You will need to build a new building to house the livestock, and taking care of them also requires patience. Read on to learn how to raise animals in LEGO Fortnite.
How to tame animals in LEGO Fortnite
To tame animals in LEGO Fortnite, you need to craft an Animal Treat. You can unlock the Animal Treat recipe by building an Animal House, a new type of building used to raise livestock. You will receive the Animal House recipe when your Village reaches Level 2, which is very early in the game.
After getting the Animal Treat, find a wild animal and feed it. Once the animal has finished eating, you have unlimited time to bring it back to your village. However, be careful and make sure this journey goes smoothly. If you meet an enemy on the way, the animal may get scared and you will have to start from the beginning.
There are many ways to bring an animal back to the village. You can design a custom vehicle to carry them, use a Fishing Rod to pull them by hand, or build a cage to protect them on the return journey. Additionally, you can heal animals with Animal Treat if they are injured.
Once you’re back in the village with a new animal friend, interact with the Animal House to bring them there.
How to take care of animals in LEGO Fortnite
Once you’ve caught some animals for your LEGO Fortnite farm, you’ll need to take care of them if you want them to produce resources. Chickens produce feathers, cows produce milk, sheep produce wool, and pigs produce mushrooms. All animals will also produce fertilizer.
Animals need to be happy, otherwise they will leave the farm. You can keep your animals happy by giving them regular attention: petting, feeding, and showing affection to them. If you need to go on an adventure, you can assign one of the villagers to take care of the animals while you’re away.
