If you are one of the people who understand the importance of learning how to stay warm in LEGO Fortnite, you already know there’s more to survival than just fighting enemies and gathering resources.

LEGO Fortnite biomes come with their own challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the temperature—whether it’s too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures can slow you down and cause damage if you're not prepared.

How to stay warm in LEGO Fortnite: Fighting with the cold

In LEGO Fortnite, cold temperatures can damage your character if you don’t take the right steps. If you spend too much time in cold areas like the Frostlands, you’ll start moving slower, and your health will begin to drop. However, there are several ways you can stay warm and safe while exploring cold biomes:

  1. Stand near heat sources
  2. Eat Spicy Peppers
  3. Use heat-protective items
  4. Build Shelters

Need help? Here is an explanation for each one.

Stand near heat sources

One of the easiest ways to stay warm is to be near something hot, like a campfire or torch. These will help you stay warm in certain situations, but they won’t work if you're out in the snow.

  • Campfires: You can light a campfire to stay warm at night or when it’s raining. It’s great for short breaks, but it won’t help you in the snow.
  • Torches: Holding a torch gives you some warmth, and it’s useful when you’re walking around in cold areas.

Eat Spicy Peppers

If you want to stay warm for longer, you can eat Spicy Peppers. These peppers grow in the Dry Valley biome, and they give you cold resistance.

  • Spicy Peppers: Eating a Spicy Pepper will give you 2 minutes of cold resistance, which means you won’t freeze up in cold biomes for a short time.
  • Cooked Spicy Peppers: If you cook these peppers, you can make them last even longer. You can cook them into a dish for extra cold resistance.
  • Treasure Chests & Loot Llamas: Sometimes, you can find Spicy Peppers or seeds to grow in treasure chests or loot llamas. Always check these for extra cold protection.

You can also make a spicy burger by combining 1 spicy pepper, 1 meat, and 1 flour at a grill. 

Use heat-protective items

To stay warm even longer, you can equip items like the Cool-Headed Charm or Inner Fire Charm. This item will give you protection from the cold for a longer time, allowing you to explore the icy biomes without worrying about freezing.

Build Shelters

If you need a quick way to stay warm, you can build a shelter. Use materials like Wood or Granite to create a small shelter that will protect you from the cold winds. This can be a life-saver if you need a break from the freezing temperatures.

FAQs

What food keeps you warm in LEGO Fortnite?

Certain foods in LEGO Fortnite give your character cold resistance, helping you survive in snowy or icy biomes. Spicy Peppers are a simple option; eating them gives temporary cold resistance for a few minutes. Spicy Burgers are crafted at a Grill using 1 Meat, 1 Spicy Pepper, and 1 Flour. Eating a Spicy Burger restores health, satisfies hunger, and provides about 10 minutes of cold resistance. Another option is Snowberry Shakes, crafted with 2 Snowberries and 1 Milk at a Juicer. While primarily giving heat resistance for hot biomes, they also provide a small boost against extreme cold when consumed. Always keep some of these foods ready in your inventory before exploring cold areas.

How do you stop being cold in LEGO Fortnite?

To prevent cold damage, combine food, items, and charms. Carry a Torch in your off-hand or build a Campfire to create a warm zone. Cold-resistance charms like the Inner Fire Charm or Cool-Headed Charm can be equipped to give constant protection from freezing temperatures. Avoid staying in open areas too long; move between heat sources and shelter to manage your body temperature efficiently.

How to survive in the winter biome in LEGO Fortnite?

Surviving in Frostlands requires preparation. First, equip a cold-resistance charm. Second, eat cold-resistance foods like Spicy Peppers or Spicy Burgers before and during exploration. Third, stay near heat sources such as campfires or torches. Finally, build shelters using Wood, Granite, or other materials to protect yourself from harsh conditions. Combining these strategies allows you to explore and gather resources safely without taking damage from the cold.
