How to get Dynamic Foundations in LEGO Fortnite

The Dynamic Foundation is an essential item while building vehicles in LEGO Fortnite. If you can’t find it in the crafting menu, you might be a little play time away from unlocking it.

The recipe system is more automated in LEGO Fortnite than similar games like Minecraft, with new items being unlocked as you discover new resources and level up your Village. Considering some materials are biome exclusives, you must visit all areas of the map to unlock everything. Here’s how to unlock the Dynamic Foundation in LEGO Fortnite.

What is Dynamic Foundation and what does it do in LEGO Fortnite?

Dynamic Foundations in LEGO Fortnite are movable platforms, each spanning eight by eight tiles. You can place them wherever you like, and they’re located in the Toy category within your Build menu (hit ‘Q’ on the keyboard to access it.) Dynamic foundations can float on water, become flying platforms with the help of balloons, and have wheels attached to them to move on the ground.

What sets Dynamic Foundations apart from others, like Wood and Granite Foundations, is that they’re not attached to the ground. This unique feature makes them essential for creating movable objects and transportation methods in the game, such as rafts and cars.

If Dynamic Foundations aren’t showing up in your Toys tab, it means you’ll need to unlock them first.

How to unlock Dynamic Foundations in LEGO Fortnite

To unlock the blueprint for Dynamic Foundations, you need to get Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite. Flexwood is a tier three Epic item, and you’ll need to visit the Desert biome to find it. Flexwood can be farmed from tall cactus plants with a tier-three axe.

If you have Flexwood and still can’t see Dynamic Foundations in the Toys of the Build menu, it means you should continue leveling up your Village. Once your Village level reaches a certain point, the Dynamic Foundation blueprint will automatically unlock as you’ll already have Flexwood in your inventory.

How to use Dynamic Foundations in LEGO Fortnite

Dynamic Foundations in LEGO Fortnite are the starting point of each vehicle. You can find the Dynamic Foundations in the Toys section of the Build menu, and after placing it on the ground, you’ll need to attach movement items like Wheels, Thrusters, or Balloons to it.

While making cars and vehicles in LEGO Fortnite, I soon found out there wasn’t a steering wheel for vehicles. To make up for the steering wheels’s absence, I’ve been experimenting with different vehicle builds featuring multiple floors. Placing Thrusters in different directions allowed me to change directions on flying and swimming vehicles, but it’s still a troublesome process since you’ll need to work with multiple switches.
