Whether you’re upgrading your village or hunting for resources like Brightcore, there’s plenty to do in the game, and hopping in a car and driving around the various biomes is just one facet of LEGO Fortnite.

Now that you’ve built yourself a basic car in LEGO Fortnite, you might want to upgrade to a steering model that you have a little more control over (mostly so you can avoid crashing into trees, unlike me), and it’s all about the positioning of your thrusters and Activation Switches.

Make sure you have thrusters on either side of the car with Activation Switches next to them. You’ll need to do a little bit of manoeuvring, but once you do, you’ll have more control over where the car propels itself.

That’s everything you need to know about building a car in LEGO Fortnite. Be sure to check out our LEGO Fortnite homepage, where we’ve covered guides on where to find Knotroot, Obsidian, Malachite and even whether or not you can breed animals in the game.
