How to craft Pressure and Trigger Plates in LEGO Fortnite

LEGO Fortnite wants your blocky life to be more convenient with update 30.40, which has dropped two new toys to automate tasks: Pressure and Trigger Plates.

Fortnite’s August 6 patch for the LEGO mode lets you Fast Travel with Battle Bus Stops and play with several new skin styles, including Indiana Jones.

Now that this famous adventurer has entered the game, you can’t waste time opening doors and triggering explosives manually. Just let Pressure and Trigger Plates take care of that for you.

Each of these two new buttons added to LEGO Fortnite features its own unlock method, recipe, and functionality. So, here’s everything you need to know.

How to activate Trigger and Pressure Plates in LEGO Fortnite

In LEGO Fortnite, you can use two types of plates to activate channels and create interactive builds: Pressure Plates and Trigger Plates.

• Pressure Plates are buttons you can stand on to activate channels, and they need to stay pressed down to maintain activation. These are perfect for mechanisms requiring continuous pressure.
  • You could use them to keep a door open or keep a conveyor plate running for a duration of time.
• Trigger Plates, on the other hand, activate channels with a single press and don’t need to stay pressed down. Once triggered, they send a signal without requiring constant pressure.
  • You could use them to automatically open doors or trigger explosives.

Now that you’re up to speed with everything added to LEGO Fortnite in the 30.40 update, you might want to catch up with the new Fall Guys back bling and the Fall Guys questline available in Battle Royale and Zero Build Modes.
