LEGO Fortnite has benefitted from regular updates since first launching in December 2023, but the arrival of fast travel is perhaps the biggest yet. To make a fast travel location, you need Rift Shards, and we’ll tell you where to get them.

Fortnite’s v30.40 update on Aug. 6 added Rift Shards to LEGO Fortnite, a new Legendary material required to construct Bus Stations, which act as fast travel points in the mode.

Obtaining these items isn’t easy, and you must overcome some significant hurdles. We’ve got all the details you need here.

The only known way to get Rift Shards in LEGO Fortnite is to destroy an existing Bus Station. They can be found randomly in the overworld but, in our experience, are very difficult to encounter.

Even when you find a Bus Station, you won’t be able to destroy it easily. In all of my testing, the only way I successfully destroyed a Bus Station was by using an Epic Pickaxe, which requires eight Obsidian Slabs and five Frostpine Rods to craft.

However, there seems to be a bug that prevents you from destroying any Bus Station you find in the world. In testing, I could only destroy the Bus Stations I had placed. Any I found on the map would not take damage despite using an Epic Pickaxe.

Unfortunately, the only way to get Rift Shards is by destroying Bus Stations, so you’re unable to craft your own Bus Stations unless you are playing in Sandbox mode.
