After a successful launch period featuring lots of new items, quality of life updates and gameplay tweaks, Epic Games is taking LEGO Fortnite to the next level with the launch of a couple of brand new game modes. Cozy mode and Expert mode will launch as part of the recently delayed Fortnite 30.10 update. LEGO Fortnite update 30.10 will have a June 13 release date and a 9am BST UK launch time. The new update will be accompanied by a period of server downtime, which means you won’t be able to play any Fortnite mode until around 11am BST UK time on Thursday morning. As the name suggests, Cozy mode will serve as a nice starting point for new players looking for an easier time in LEGO Fortnite.
According to the early patch notes, Cozy mode will bridge the gap between Survival and Sandbox mode.
In Cozy mode, enemies will spawn, but they’ll be easier to defeat. Things like Hunger, Stamina and Temperature will be turned off, and you won’t lose items when your character dies.
Expert mode, on the other hand, will make things even more difficult. Not only will enemies be stronger, but new creatures infected by Storm will also appear on the map.
Epic Games explains more: “These Storm-Wild enemies deal more damage, have more Health, and move faster than regular enemies. If you’re not prepared to face them, running away won’t be easy…”
It also adds a perma-death feature, which means you won’t respawn unless you have a Totem of Return equipped. These totems will be destroyed after every use.
The extra risk will be rewarded with new Trophies, including the Grasslands, Frostlands and Dry-Valley Trophies.
Needless to say, the update will also make a variety of general gameplay tweaks and fixes, including making animals smart enough to avoid campfires.
