LEGO Fortnite essentially has four jobs that can be assigned to villagers —Exploring, Resource gathering, Cooking Food, and Refining. However, not all jobs are unlocked from the beginning. You must upgrade your village squares to specific levels to unlock jobs.

You can upgrade your village square by gathering resources and building new structures. Here's the tier for jobs in LEGO Fortnite :

Exploration jobs are very helpful

Exploration jobs entail an NPC villager coming along with you while exploring the map, hunting, or entering caves. These NPCs provide much-needed backup when defeating bosses or mobs.

The companion villager can be given a weapon or a tool to protect or gather resources when exploring. This is especially useful when the NPC gathers wood, granite, or some of the other important resources on the map. It is definitely among the most important jobs in LEGO Fortnite, allowing you to unlock the map and find new biomes with possibilities, raw materials, and mobs.


Resource jobs are the foundation of expansion

Resource-gathering jobs in LEGO Fortnite allow you to collect the specific resources needed to level up the village or the village square. NPCs can collect a variety of resources but each resource type needs pre-requisites before your NPC can successfully collect them and do the job:

Collect Nearby ResourcesCrafting BenchLocal Resources
Refine StoneStone BreakerStone Slabs
Refine WoodLumber MillRods, Planks

Once these prerequisites are met, the villager will go out and collect these resources. Remember to talk to NPC and collect the resources from them once they are done. This can be done by interacting with the villager and selecting the "how's your job going" option.

Sometimes, the villagers might not bring any resources and they will state the reason - depletion of said resources or lack of availability of said resource in the vicinity.


Food jobs keep everyone fed and happy

The Food and cooking jobs are some of the most important jobs in LEGO Fortnite, enabling you to passively keep a steady flow of food and edibles ready when exploring, defeating bosses, or going on a cross-biome expedition.

You can now offload that duty to the villagers who will now grow crops, cook food as well as gather seeds on their rounds. These tasks need some pre-requisite infrastructures to be present as well:

Refining jobs get you the resources for expansion

The final products help build complex structures like boats in LEGO Fortnite.


These are all the jobs in LEGO Fortnite and how you can assign them to villagers. Villagers are an integral part of expanding your village, as these NPCs can greatly reduce your workload and automate many processes.
