How to get Rift Shards in LEGO Fortnite

Quick travel update for LEGO Fortnite brings additional toys, quality of life updates, and the ability to fast travel between locations. While building cars and other vehicles is often the method of transportation in LEGO Fortnitenow players can get from one place to another in a flash via a bus stop.

Bus stops in LEGO Fortnite is an efficient means for players to fast travel to different areas of the map in just a few moments, allowing players to either quickly split between their upgraded villages or simply get to their favorite mining spot with ease. Although bus stops can be found as pre-built structures on the map, players can also build their own with the right materials.

Updated September 24, 2024 by Nathan Round: The Lost Isles update introduced an additional method for acquiring Rift Shards. This guide has been updated to include information on how to get Rift Shards on the Lost Isles, as well as a video tutorial showing how to build and use a bus station in LEGO Fortnite.

How to build a bus station in LEGO Fortnite

The bus station is a Additional utility station that players can used to travel quickly to other built bus stations around the map when interacting with it. The bus station can be built through the build menu with the following:

• 4 iron bars
• 2 malachite slabs
• 6 Frostpines
• 3 Rift Shards

While many other utility stations can be built from scratch, the recipe for building a bus station is locked when loaded into a LEGO Fortnite world and it can only be unlocked once players get their hands on Rift Shards.

Smash bus stops in LEGO Fortnite

Rift Shards are a resource used exclusively for building bus stations in LEGO Fortnite. Unlike many other resources available on the map, they are quite difficult to find. The first way to acquire Rift Shards in LEGO Fortnite is the destruction of an existing bus station.

Bus stops can be found in random locations on the map, but will emit a distinctive blue light that can be seen from a distance. Once players have located a bus stop, they can destroy it with an epic rarity pickaxe – which will be available once players get their hands on Obsidian. Once players have unlocked the recipe, they can craft an Epic Pickaxe through the Crafting Bench with the following materials:

• 8 obsidian slabs
• 5 Frostpine Rods

Defeat Golems in LEGO Fortnite

The second way to get Rift Shards is by defeating Golems on the Lost Isles. These golems can be found roaming the Lost Isles, either wandering the wilds or guarding Chests in various biomes.

Golems are tough enemies, so players should equip themselves with an epic rarity weapon and an epic shield for the best chance of success. Alternatively, stocking up on Dynamite can be an effective strategy for dealing damage from a distance. Once defeated, a Golem will drop a single Rift Shardwhich can be used to build a bus station.
