Fortnite LEGO Expeditions might appear all cutesy at first, but you can come across deadly enemies of all types. If you're not healing in time, you can die quite a lot, which will ultimately lead to mission failure.
While the mode offers a respawn when you die, there's an upper limit on how many times you can die and return. The respawn system is useful in desperate situations if your teammates can't save you in time with a revive. That said, the best solution is to not die in the first place, which is achievable when you manage to heal yourself.
How do you heal yourself in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions?
Like the OG modes, you can heal yourself with the help of consumables. Occasionally, you'll find an item with a red-colored body and a blue head. This item will be shown at the bottom right corner of your main screen (just like in the screenshot below).
This item is known as Super Smoothie, which helps to recover HP when your health is getting low. Healing is simple: press the Q button, and your character will consume a smoothie and magically recover your health. However, you can take damage and die since there's a mini delay between consuming the item and restoring your health.
I have found that it's best to heal yourself when you're far from your enemies, but you can avoid this advice if you're in a fight and about to lose your life. When rotating from one point to another on the map, check your health gauge at the bottom left corner and heal yourself. Per my understanding, no system auto-restores health by default.
How do you obtain Super Smoothie in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions?
There are two main ways of obtaining this valuable item in Fortnite LEGO Expeditions (in a consistent fashion).
- Rescuing civilians: You'll come across trapped civilians randomly on the map. Rescuing them will reward you with the healing item and other resources like Essence.
- Random drops from enemies: Enemies will also drop the smoothie, aiding your survival. The drop rate is completely random.
You can also get them from chests spawn across the map. So far, I haven't located too many chests on the maps, and some of them are hidden in tricky areas (making it hard for you to find them). To heal yourself, I would rather rely on eliminating enemies and saving civilians than go treasure-hunting.
