How to make a fishing rod in Lego Fortnite

By Jesse Lennox February 23, 2024 9:43AM

No survival game is complete without the ability to fish, which was why it was so odd that Lego Fortnite launched without this option. Thankfully, that has been rectified in an update, and we finally have a use for all those large bodies of water around the world. Games handle fishing in a few ways, but in this case, you just need to get yourself a rod and set up near some water to collect all the fish you can cook and eat. Of course, you can't just find a rod. Being a crafting game, you will need to make your own, and we've got the recipe for you so you can get right to fishing.

How to fix ‘servers at capacity’ error in Helldivers 2

It turns out that it isn't the bugs or robots in Helldivers 2 that are the biggest threat. Server issues have been the biggest issue for some players. You might be loaded up with the best weapons and have a crew ready to drop and spread some democracy the hard way, only to get shot down by an error message stating that the servers are at capacity. Some errors like this do have ways for you to work around them, but is that the case this time?
Can you fix the servers at capacity error?

Unfortunately, this is one error in Helldivers 2 that you have no power over. This issue falls on the game being just too popular for the game's servers to keep up with. A statement posted by developer Arrowhead in its official Discord said: "Our team is working around the clock to solve these issues. While we've been able to mitigate some of the causes, we are still struggling to keep up with the scaling that is needed to accommodate all our Helldivers. Therefore, we’ve had to cap our concurrent players to around 450,000 to further improve server stability. We will continue to work with our partners to get the ceiling raised.”
