New Lego Fortnite Update Means A Pig Can Now Be Your Friend
Lego Fortnite thinks you need some animal buddies in your virtual life, so a new update arriving tomorrow, April 23, is called Farm Friends. Developer Epic will raise the recruitment cap for your village so that cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs can join your home.
On the Fortnite website, Epic says the cap will grow to 10. Lego Fortnite players can dedicate up to seven of those spaces to animals, with three solely dedicated to the cute creatures. Three slots are only available to Villagers, meaning the final four are customizable to include either group.
Along with being adorable, a major reason to recruit these Farm Friends relates to resources. All four pet pals will produce fertilizer, while they each offer their own reward, too. Chickens will drop feathers; cows can make milk; sheep will grow wool; and pigs apparently end up providing mushrooms.
