The LEGO Fortnite Odyssey Mechanical Mayhem update introduced vehicles, allowing players to travel faster through the various biomes. There are a total of nine vehicle blueprints players can unlock, each providing players with a wide variety of cars suited for different terrains and purposes.
There's no doubt that LEGO Fortnite vehicles make it much easier to gather resources across long distances, making crafting one essential. Here’s a guide on how to build a custom vehicle and the pre-existing cars in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey.
LEGO Fortnite: How to Craft a Trigger Plate (& How it Works)
The Trigger Plate can be a great addition to players' dynamic builds in LEGO Fortnite, so players will want to learn just how it works.
Updated on December 27, 2024, by Nathan Round: With the introduction of Metal Plates, many of the build recipes for existing vehicles have changed. This guide has been updated to reflect these changes, along with all the additional vehicles included with the latest updates: Lil' Barge, Storm Chaser, Airship, and the Crusher.
How to Build a Custom Vehicle
Whilst players can obtain specific vehicle blueprints, players with a more creative touch can build their very own custom vehicle in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. To do so, players will need the following components:
- Vehicle Base: Serves as the foundation for building a custom vehicle. All vehicle bases can be crafted with Wood and Granite.
- Power Center: The Power Center, which requires Power Cells to work, acts as the vehicle’s engine, so players need at least one to turn on the car. The more Power Cells gamers put into the Power Center, the longer they'll be able to drive.
- Wheels: Wheels give cars the extra push and help steer their vehicles in the right direction. Players can fit their vehicle with either Powered Wheels or Turnable Wheels. They can also change the direction that the wheels turn by interacting with them.
- Driver's Seat: The Driver’s Seat can be used to drive and control the vehicle. Additionally, gamers can place extra seats to bring villagers along with them on a ride.
Since this is a custom design, players can craft a vehicle however they'd like, as long as it has one Power Center, Wheels for motion, and a Driver's Seat for control.
How to Build a Speeder
The Speeder is a fast vehicle designed to help players zip from one biome to the other . To unlock the Speeder blueprint in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, gamers must craft a Power Cell.
To craft a Power Cell, players will need to create a Compost Bin first; a station that recycles old resources and turns them into clean energy. After making the Compost Bin station, players can then recycle old resources to make Biomass. Mixing Biomass with Glass at the Crafting Bench will then create a Power Cell.
Afterward, the Speeder vehicle can then be built via the Build Menu with the following resources:
- 14 Wooden Rods
- 8 Cords
- 2 Planks
- 4 Wood
- 13 Granite
Once players have all the resources, they can progress through four build stages to craft the vehicle. The Speeder also requires a Power Cell to be made drivable.
How to Build an Offroader
The Offroader is a large vehicle designed to help carry around multiple passengers. Players will need to gather the following resources to build the Offroader via the Build Menu:
- 20 Wooden Rods
- 34 Wood
- 2 Torches
- 2 Glass
- 31 Granite
- 9 Planks
- 8 Metal Plates
- 8 Cord
- 8 Granite Slabs
Once players have all the required materials, they can progress through five stages to build the Offroader. The Offroader also requires players to obtain Power Cells in order to drive it.

- 2 Torches
- 2 Glass
- 63 Granite

After crafting and gathering these resources, players can progress through seven stages in order to fully build the Hauler. The Hauler will also require players to obtain Power Cells in order to drive it.

The Kart Racer is a high-powered kart aimed at taking players across the map in a flash, and is one of two vehicles to mark its debut for the v30.40 update. Once players have gotten hold of a Power Cell, they can build the Kart Racer via the Build Menu with the following materials:

How to Build a Lil' Barge
Next up is the Lil' Barge, a rather unique vehicle when compared to many of the previous showcased builds. If players find themselves building it on land, the Lil' Barge is pretty much useless, as it instead serves as a LEGO Fortnite Odyssey prefab boat.
Players can unlock the build recipe by progressing through the Storm King's questline. Once unlocked, it can be built via the Build Menu with the following resources:
- 37 Wooden Rods

How to Build a Storm Chaser
Arriving with the Lil' Barge is the Storm Chaser, a three-wheel-ride outfit with thrusters that allow the players to boost their way through the world in a flash. The vehicle itself is relatively sturdy towards the rear but is somewhat fragile towards the bumper. However, it is relatively fast.
Players will unlock the Storm Chaser recipe when they build it within the Storm Chaser Base Camp on their quest to power up the Tempest Gateway. The Storm Chaser can be built via the Build Menu with the following resources:
- 18 Wooden Rods
- 32 Granite
- 12 Wood
- 11 Metal Plates
- 8 Cord
- 4 Granite Slabs
- 4 Torches
- 2 Blast Powder

- 2 Glass
Once players have the required resources, they can progress through the build's 5 stages to get their hands on the Storm Chaser. Much like other vehicles, it will require a Power Cell to use it.
How to Build an Airship
The Airship is quite a unique vehicle build in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey because, as the name suggests, it is purely an aerial vehicle. The vehicle itself features Activated Balloons that players can turn on and off to ascend and descend, as well as Thrusters to boost forward and steer the vehicle while in the air.
Players can unlock the Airship recipe by building a Loom and crafting Silk Fabric. Once unlocked, players can construct it using the Build Menu with the following resources:
- 46 Wooden Rods
- 71 Granite
- 31 Wood
- 8 Torches
