The Farm Friends update adds a ton of significant upgrades to LEGO Fortnite. With this update, you can keep animals in your village and meet several new creature variants. With this in mind, let me show you all animal variants and where to find them in LEGO Fortnite.
Every animal variant in LEGO Fortnite and how to get them
With the Farm Friends update, you can now find different animal variants around the world. This is a massive quality-of-life change and breathes a bit of life into the Farming aspect of the game. Here’s every friendly animal variant and where to get them:
- Yellow Chickens: Grasslands
- Brown Chickens: Dry Valley
- Tan Chickens: Dry Valley
- Cows: Everywhere
- Pigs: Grasslands and Dry Valley
- Mountain Cows: Frost Lands
- Rams: Frostlands
Besides the Mountain versions, Cows don’t have variants tied to locations but now spawn in different colors with unique spot patterns.
Pigs are brand new to LEGO Fortnite with the Farm Friends update and spawn in a couple of different colors (pictured above). Pigs commonly spawn in the Grasslands although I found them on the edge of the Dry Valley as well.
The Epic games picture eludes to there being a snow chicken in the game (top left). I’ve thoroughly searched the Frost Lands on my map and have only found sheep. Your mileage may vary, but I’m certain they aren’t in my world, as I could easily find the Dry Valley variants. If you’re struggling to find specific creatures, I recommend turning on visual footsteps. This option shows you where important sounds are coming from, including animals.
How to catch animals in LEGO Fortnite
Once you’ve found these animals in the wild, you’ll probably want to take them back to your village. You must build an Animal House to keep anything, and you can create one when your village reaches level 2. Building an Animal House unlocks the Animal Treat recipe, which you can use to lure creatures back to your humble abode.
Remember that animals will run away if you encounter any hostile creatures, so plan accordingly. You can even use vehicles to transport animals back to your base. If you’ve not played LEGO Fortnite since engines were added, you can make some fantastic vehicles to quickly traverse the map. It’ll take a bit of effort to make a car with space for animals, but it’s worth it to bypass any problems on the journey.
