Brújula — the LEGO Fortnite Compass Guide

"Brújula" is Spanish for compass — in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey it's a craftable tool that puts directional markers on your HUD so you stop getting lost between villages, caves and biomes.

What the brújula does

  1. 1
    Adds HUD markers

    Once crafted and held, the compass projects direction markers onto your HUD — north plus your placed markers.

  2. 2
    Ends the wandering

    LEGO Fortnite maps are big and landmarks repeat — the compass makes village-to-cave runs repeatable.

  3. 3
    Works with map markers

    Pair it with custom map markers and the compass shows their direction as you walk.

  4. 4
    Early-game item

    It's meant to be one of your first crafts — the whole point is stopping early exploration from becoming lost runs.

Crafting it

  1. 1
    Build a Crafting Bench

    The compass is a bench recipe — have a Crafting Bench placed in your village first.

  2. 2
    Gather the materials

    The recipe asks for early-game resources — glass and cords from basic materials (check your bench's Utility tab for the current recipe).

  3. 3
    Equip it

    The compass sits in a tool slot — it works while equipped or in your hotbar, depending on the version.

  4. 4
    Read the HUD

    Direction letters and marker icons appear at the top of the screen — walk toward what you tagged.

Navigation tips

Mark before you leave

Drop a map marker on your village before exploring — the compass turns "which way home" into a straight line.

One per squad is enough

The marker benefit is personal — sharing coordinates verbally works fine.

Caves still need torches

The compass doesn't light your way — pair navigation with light for underground runs.

Spanish search, same item

Players searching "brújula fortnite" and "compass lego fortnite" are after the same tool — it's one recipe.
