The LEGO Fortnite game mode within the Fortnite universe is a great survival experience, but it lacks some basic features like changing time that we often see in other survival games.

One of the most infuriating things that you will encounter while playing LEGO Fortnite is the continuous rain and lightning.

While the weather itself is one that you can enjoy from the comfort of your campfire or a shed and enjoy the ambience, it soon becomes annoying as it stops you from using your different crafting machines placed outside in the open.

Since the game doesn't allow you to skip time, usually you must wait until the rain ends, making the machines ready to use.

But what if we say that there is a very easy way to skip time in LEGO Fortnite and stop the rain and lightning? Well! Keep reading our guide as we detail everything below.

In LEGO Fortnite, you can skip time by simply heading to the lobby and logging in to the game mode.

First, ensure you have a bed crafted to set your spawn point. This step is not mandatory, but we recommend doing it.

Once you have your bed crafted, set the spawn point and rest. After that, go to the pause menu and click on the exit button at the bottom to leave the match.
