LEGO Fortnite v30.40 Update: Quick Travel, New Toys, and Exciting Customization Options

Quick Travel Through Bus Stations 

The v30.40 update for LEGO Fortnite introduces Bus Stations, a new feature designed to optimize in-game movement. This significant improvement enhances player experience, particularly for those who want to travel swiftly between locations on the map without spending time walking or using other means of transportation.

For instance, players can experiment with different environments and see immediate results, saving time and effort while allowing the exploration of various game aspects seamlessly.
