If you are finding your settlement in LEGO Fortnite to be a little overcrowded, there is an easy fix for it. While it might be a little heartless, a simple change in furniture could see any villagers who have served their purpose packing their bags. We're sure they'll be okay, but here's how to remove villagers in LEGO Fortnite.

Fortnite continues to keep players on their toes with a bunch of new game modes and features, but few have caused a bigger stir than LEGO Fortnite. The new sandbox game mode veers away from the classic battle royale that the franchise is known for and brings to life the building elements that make LEGO so popular.

Fortnite is a huge franchise, so we endeavour to keep you updated on the biggest developments in the game. Find out when Chapter 5, Season 1 ends for the battle royale game, as well as how to get shells in LEGO Fortnite.

What are villagers for in LEGO Fortnite?

You'll have your hands full with building and maintaining your settlement in LEGO Fortnite, but the creators of the game don't expect you to go at it alone. Along your journey, you'll encounter countless NPCs, many of which will gladly join you and your village.

Villagers are the helping hand you need to maintain your town and protect it from the monsters and unsavoury beings that lurk on the outskirts. They can be assigned a number of different tasks, but it's worth checking out if the villager has a particular strength so you can get the most out of them. From cooking to crafting, villagers are there to help.

While villagers are a crucial asset to the growth and maintenance of your settlement, there is only a finite amount of space, which makes things a bit awkward when you reach your town's capacity. If you're feeling that a villager is overstaying their welcome and you've got another waiting for a spot in your community, there is a not-so-subtle way to drive the point home.

To put it simply, you'll need to destroy a villager's bed to remove them from your settlement. The process is pretty simple; head to the bed of the villager you want gone, bash it a bunch of times until it's a pile of bricks, and then wait a few in-game days. You can also chat to the villager once their bed is destroyed and they'll raise the issue with you. Regardless, once the villager gets the hint that no bed means no stay, they'll vacate the premises and your new villager can settle in.

That's all you need to know about removing villagers and making space in your settlement. For more tips and tricks on the LEGO collaboration, take a look at how to heal your character and how to get marble.
