LEGO Fortnite has plenty of resources to discover scattered around its maps. Copper can be tricky to find, but you’ll need it if you want to craft Copper Bars to make durable tools and weapons. Here’s how to find it in LEGO Fortnite.

Epic Games encourages LEGO Fortnite players to get every resource and material they can find in their randomly generated maps. While some can be used to craft charms and weapons, others are essential to upgrade your village.

LEGO Fortnite: How to make Copper bars

To make Copper bars in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll first need to build a Metal Smelter. This Utility will allow you to melt and mix different metals and will be unlocked after reaching Level 9 in your village. After unlocking the recipe, you’ll need 15x Brightcore, 35x Obsidian Slab, and 3x Blast Core to build a Metal Smelter.

If you want to get a Copper Bar, you will also need to gather 1x Copper and 2x Brightcore in a Lava Cave. Once you gather all the ingredients, you can put them into the Metal Smelter to finally get one.

It’s worth noting that you can also give one of your villagers the task of melting metals once you reach Level 9 and have a Metal Smelter available in your village. This will give you a steady supply of Copper Bars to use.

And that’s everything you need to unlock and craft balloons in LEGO Fortnite. If you want to know more about Epic Games survival-crafting mode, you can check our guides below:
