A LEGO Fortnite player discovered how to create a catapult

With all the unique LEGO Fortnite creations, are we really surprised that one player already discovered how to create a catapult?

From a monorail to a boat, you can almost create anything in this survival mode. But in this case, we’ve now witnessed a working catapult.

LEGO Fortnite player shows off their catapult design

Posted in a video on Reddit, the user “Acceptable-Team662” demonstrated how their catapult/trebuchet creation works. Currently, there’s no tutorial on how to make one for yourself, but they said they’re working on one.

The video showcases how the player placed an item into the catapult, then activated the Thrusters which allowed it to swing upwards. The catapult stopped once it was vertical, and the object inside got thrown into the distance. They even built a makeshift castle in the background to make it feel like a real battle scene.

While this doesn’t seem to have much practical use in the game, it’s quite impressive to look at. I’m no physics expert, so I don’t personally play around with creations like this. But many players like to tinker around in this mode to create incredible builds.

The replies to this post seem to be eager for a tutorial. One Reddit user said to launch yourself in the catapult to see what happens. Another person suggested they add some Thrusters for counterweight to increase the speed.

Although they created this in Sandbox mode, I believe it wouldn’t be too difficult to make in Survival. It’d take a lot more time and effort, but if you want to create a medieval weapon like this, just wait patiently for a tutorial.

For now, you should try out other creations like a working LEGO Fortnite car. If you’re having trouble getting around in your world, this is an easy creation to try out.
