What is at the end of Rainbows in LEGO Fortnite?

While exploring your world, you will notice Rainbows in LEGO Fortnite randomly spawning into the sky. If you see one, immediately sprint toward it, as it will disappear if you take too long. At the end of every rainbow is a secret Easter Egg and loot mechanic that can lead to treasure.

Once a Rainbow appears in the air, you will find a floating white cloud in the sky after running towards it long enough. You will know you have found the correct location as the fluffy cloud will have a group of people dancing to music in front of a rainbow-colored brick wall.

To get the rainbow treasure in LEGO Fortnite, you need to stand in front of the rainbow-colored people and use your dance emote to start dancing alongside them. They will immediately start to vanish one by one, dropping loot behind. Like the Loot Llamas in LEGO Fortnite, you can score Common, Rare, or Legendary items.

How to climb Rainbows in LEGO Fortnite

Even if you do find the end of a rainbow in your world, you will still need to figure out how to get on top of the cloud. To climb Rainbows in LEGO Fortnite, you must use the game’s building mode to construct a staircase with Wood stacks from your inventory.

Once you build your staircase, you may need to construct and stack some extra wood blocks to make a few steps. Once you are high enough, you will be able to jump on top of the cloud, where you will find a group of rainbow-colored people tearing up the dance floor!

What is the Rainbow in LEGO Fortnite?

You may be wondering what the Rainbows in LEGO Fortnite are based on, as they do seem a bit odd without any context. However, the rainbow cloud is actually an Easter Egg that is referencing the “Everyone Is Awesome” LEGO set.

As mentioned earlier, Rainbows in LEGO Fortnite are randomly generated and are also on a time limit. So, if you don’t reach the end of the rainbow in time, it will disappear permanently. If you do miss out, don’t fret, as they spawn all the time. Just make sure to look up at the sky a lot while exploring your world.

LEGO Fortnite is now available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and mobile devices.
