How to get Balloons in LEGO Fortnite

Balloons in LEGO Fortnite allow players to soar to the skies. Getting them in the game is difficult as it will require players to engage in a significant amount of grind. Several items and resources must be unlocked, which will likely take players more than ten hours to create Balloons.

The new mode has introduced a whole new game space that provides an open world for exploration and survival. It is imbued with the toy company's iconic aesthetic, and plenty of fan-favorite characters have their LEGO skin. The gameplay has quickly taken hold of players' imagination and creativity.

This article will show how Balloons can be crafted in LEGO Fortnite. For starters, players must make a Loom and a Spinning Wheel.
