Want your Villagers to take over the busy work in LEGO Fortnite? Here’s how to get them to gather resources for you!
In LEGO Fortnite, a bulk of the game is gathering items and resources so you’re able to expand your Village and continue your adventure. That said, you don’t have to do all that gathering on your own - Your Villagers can lend a hand. Here’s how to get your Villagers to gather resources for you in LEGO Fortnite.

How to get Villagers to gather materials in LEGO Fortnite
Villagers who’ve been recruited to your Village can gather resources for you if you ask them to. Just talk to the Villager, and select “Let’s talk Jobs!”
Then select “Resource Jobs” and confirm with the Villager. The Villager will then gather materials. They’ll need access to their own Crafting Bench (They can use yours, but it’s best to give them their own). Speak to them later, and ask them “How’s your Job?” and they’ll give you an update on their progress. If they’ve successfully gathered materials, they’ll give them to you.

Make sure each Villager you want to gather resources has their own Crafting Bench for best results!
