We'd all heard that LEGO Fortnite was coming, but it didn't stop it from being a pretty huge surprise for fans, and maybe even an even bigger surprise for Fortnite. Epic probably didn't expect players to favour the Don't Starve-alike to trump the player numbers of even its Zero Build Battle Royale.
The game was a shock to the system and revealed how extensive the gaming platform that Fortnite wants to become can be - with building, combat, village development, and more. But now, Fortnite fans are using the game to live out their dreams. Though we probably can't recommend them.

Please, won't somebody think of the children? While some play around with the endlessness of possibilities that LEGO Fortnite offers, others clearly have a firm idea of what they want to do with their experience. One player has revealed that an "illegal grow operation" is what they'd had in mind from the start.
Shared initially to TikTok before making it to Facebook, a video has shared how intricately players can follow the most illegal drug farms, with one user creating an indoor operation that sees some kind of plant (we won't ask) growing under heat lamps. It takes up multiple rooms with filled tankers lining the walls.
No matter how un-LEGO-Fortnite-friendly it is, it's an impressive build. If anything, it serves as a testament to all the unexpected things that players can create in the game. Things that most of us, and even Epic, likely haven't thought of.Â
What's new in the latest LEGO Fortnite update?
A new update has touched down in LEGO Fortnite, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like it'll help you pursue your drug empire. It will give you updated snacks that fill you up more, items with better durability, a better chance against foes with high-damage attacks, and fewer problems with newly fixed bugs.
LEGO Fortnite is still a roaring success, and if we're lucky, we'll get to see a lot more creative builds popping up. With that, we imagine bricky drug farms are just the tip of the iceberg. Still, if you want to be your very own Walter White in LEGO Fortnite, at least you know you can.Â
