Welcome to Aero Bubble Tycoon
Blue skies, glass, chrome and bubbles everywhere: Aero Bubble Tycoon is a tycoon island for Fortnite in the bright Frutiger Aero style. Here's a first look at what you'll be doing. (There are lots more pictures in the gallery.)
Build up, not out
Claim one of the six bases around the courtyard and start placing machines. Blowers, tube runs and boosters send bubbles into your Bubble Bank, which fills with Droplets for you to spend on the next machine.
Every floor holds 50 machines and rooms across ten glass wings. Finish one, buy the glass stairs, and a whole new floor opens above it, with its own theme, colours and view. There are ten of them, from Meadow Bay at the bottom to Celestial Crown at the top.
Mine with style
Every floor has its own Bubble Mine, and its own crystal, worth more than the one below. Point your bubble blaster at a crystal and hold fire: crystals crack, pay out and grow back. There are eight mining guns to unlock in the Aero Shop, and every so often a crystal grows golden and pays extra.
Pets that pull their weight
Open gifts, find Lost Bubbles and crack golden crystals to earn Pearls, then hatch pets at the Pet Bubbler. Your best three pets follow you around, and when you're in your Bubble Mine they mine right next to you.
Refresh and go again
Finished the whole tower? Refresh to rebuild it from the ground floor with a permanent boost: every Droplet you earn afterwards is worth more. Your pets, Pearls and guns all stay.
What's next
We're putting the finishing touches on the island now. Follow along here or with the news feed, and we'll post the island code the moment it's live. New to tycoons? The beginner's guide has everything you need for your first tower.
