LEGO Fortnite’s brutal environment can be infuriating at times. Once you die, you drop all your items and your backpack on the ground, but does it disappear?

Keeping all the items you’ve collected throughout your travels is essential to tackle the grey beyond. Fear not; we have all the answers to your backpack-related questions here.

What are backpacks for in LEGO Fortnite?

Backpacks hold your loot in LEGO Fortnite. Once you’ve kicked the bucket, you’ll drop a backpack on the ground, and instead of your items being scattered everywhere, they’ll be stacked neatly in your bag.

Once you’ve met your unfortunate demise, you’ll be able to see a beam of light emitting from your backpack. This will make it easier to find if you’re struggling to find it. It’ll also be marked on your map. To access your map, click up on your D-pad and scroll across, or press the Touch-Pad on your PS5 controller.

Backpacks do not disappear in LEGO Fortnite. They stay indefinitely on the ground in LEGO Fortnite. This means you’ll be able to go and get your loot at any point in time.

Be careful if you’re going to get to your loot, as the thing that killed you is likely still lurking nearby. Ensure you bring a LEGO friend with you in all your Fortnite travels. 

It’s super simple and will become second nature once you get used to it. LEGO Fortnite significantly differs from the usual battle royale experience, so it will take time to get used to.

Tip: backpacks’s light beam

A light beam will give away your backpack’s location once dropped. This is a good indicator when en route to retrieve it outside of the map marker.


So, there you have it. You now know everything there is to know about backpacks in LEGO Fortnite. Good luck out there, and happy building!
