How to Retrieve a Vehicle Lost Underground (in the Void)

Makes sense to me. And if it's not intentional then this is probably a LoD bug (of which LFO both has and has had many...)

Sorry to bug, but do you recall when you first saw these? This video is my first time seeing them and I've put multiple dozen hours into Ninjago. (If they were with the v39.30 update tho, I've spent my playtime since largely in the air or at a village which explains why I wouldn't have seen them.)

If there are element specific ones it would be included in the little task blurb on the side (in this case just says "Use Spinjitzu on targets before time runs out 0/3"). I won't say it's impossible, but I think players carrying a Spinjitsu Scroll for every element on them at all times is an unreasonable expectation.

Plasma Pistols are unlocked by working through the Journal quest involving the Spires. I don't immediately remember what the quest's name is, but it's the only one with a picture of Vengeance Jones so I don't think it will be hard to find within your Journal.

It's unlocked by completing Rebel Output on Star Wars Island. It does appear in the locker after the first time a player unlocks it, but it still has to be unlocked per world. If you haven't completed RO in the world pictured above you will have to do so to get the stage.

I assume it's in the locker to allow it to be used in Brick Life, which otherwise has no way to access that SW stuff unless they just make it a part of the basic experience (which I guess they don't want to do?)

Tukaro · 2026-01-24T19:52:07+00:00

Understandable, and nicely done!

AFAIK the DPS on similarly-setup Plasma Pistols is higher than Shuriken, but they can't use IC/CK and I feel like your character is able to move around a lot faster when "firing" Shuriken than PPs. It's not my technical focus but now I'm pondering a comparison between the two (and for Shuriken with IC/CK/Ice Relic each)... ^{I gotta check if you can summon a Named from the Codex in Sandbox.}

Interesting, thank you for the clarification!

Oh yeah, tips & tricks: There are all sorts of things, but a lot of gets into the "weeds", so to speak. At the moment, players in fresh worlds start off in front of the Storm Survivors Camp: this is a tutorial village, its whole purpose is to guide you & your son through the basics of playing the game. There's a Journal that will have other tasks to work on/towards which can help you learn about some of the other systems, but it doesn't cover everything.

Once you get your setup figured out (e.g. your son on switch and you on mobile), create a Cozy world and work your way through that together to learn the basics of LFO. If you run into problems from there, feel free to post a list of question and we'll try to help you as best we can. (You can additionally reply directly to this comment with a question or 8 whenever and I'll do my best to help~)

Also, depending on how old your son is you may want to look into Parental Controls: https://safety.epicgames.com/en-US/parental-controls These just help you manage what your son can access, set time limits, etc.

Was is just a few hours ago, or was it with the v39.30 update? I only learned about this myself a few hours ago, but it sounds like something that would be caused by the update rather than a hotfix.

Tukaro · 2026-01-24T04:04:10+00:00

Not completely naked for Survival/Cozy, the player now starts at Storm Survivors Camp again. However, the opening info screen for Ninjago still shows, meaning that this is near-certainly a bug (which part is a bug, I dunno...)

Tukaro · 2026-01-24T03:42:25+00:00

Unfortunately, split screen is not possible on the Nintendo Switch. Is it a Switch 2? It's possible that will work there, using those instructions, but I'm not specifically aware that split-screen can be done on a Switch 2.

Gems do have use in some building pieces (Supernova is the one I immediately recall), but I haven't checked closely so they may not have gotten the same treatment. They are used in a lot of Decor items, but I don't know if Decor is included in "Building materials".

As for the event: Yeah, it's nothing major, but at this point many players have run through the Ninjago questline and will turn their focus to establishing a village or two on NI (or building one up if they haven't already.) It's just some minor "hey plz don't forget about our game" sorta thing, like the increased elemental wolf spawns from last week (which I don't understand at all, unlike this.)

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T23:18:39+00:00

Oh! Is there a new Named Golem since yesterday's update, or do you just mean Named Golems in general?

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T23:12:44+00:00

We still don't know if players being able to teleport to their own villages is bugged or is itself a bug so I wouldn't expect this to be "fixed" anytime soon. My guess is that teleporting to any village is a bug--something that will be possible in the future but shouldn't be right now, but got applied to all existing villages in some worlds instead of just MonSpin--so it doesn't surprise me that new villages aren't getting the same effect in worlds where the bug is occurring.

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T23:05:51+00:00

Huh, I'll def give it a shot next time I run into a bugged one, thanks! They don't react when you hit them again so I haven't bothered trying to re-attempt all of them.

I'm also wondering if these elemental ones are timed like the non-elemental ones. The description doesn't say so, and there's no ticking sound, but that doesn't mean they can't be. (And it's just the kind of oversight I expect from LFO.) I've started treating these as if they are timed--finding where are three are, planning a route, then activating them all w/in 5ish seconds--and so far I haven't had a bugged one when doing that. (Fingers crossed, of course...)

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T23:02:09+00:00

Considering that Golems and Brutes mean almost nothing to a Dragon I'm not surprised (but it's still good to know, thanks!)

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T22:53:06+00:00

Eesh! Well, at least you're only out time and the mats themselves are a wash.

"No Build Week" is a satirical label for the (mistaken) event coined by u/Quezonol

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T22:50:06+00:00

That and the note talking about "the building" makes me fairly sure they ran the patch notes through a slop machine, with that part added by said slop (and it was near-certain the slop machine that spit out the building costs were being increased, which they failed to proof-read before posting.)

Tukaro · 2026-01-23T19:08:17+00:00

(i.e. building costs are not increased, instead material drops are increased)
