The v31.20 update for LEGO Fortnite introduces the Lost Isles into the game, an extra island that players can fast travel to via a Bus Station. This additional island offers a variety of different biomes to explore, unique enemies to battle, and a plethora of additional items in the loot pool.
In addition to resources like Klomberries, and the debut of Klombo himself, players can now get their hands on a variety of Pirate-themed weapons in LEGO Fortnite. These weapons range from Flint-Knock Pistols and Muskets to explosive Boom Shields. Of course, to collect these weapons, players may need to defeat Pirates and loot Pirate Towns.
Where To Find Pirate Towns in LEGO Fortnite
Pirate Towns can be found within the Beach biome of the Lost Isles.
These towns are primarily made up of Tudor Houses, which can sometimes make them difficult to spot, as other abandoned villages also feature the same type of buildings. However, Pirate Towns are typically complete with docks, often located along the shore and are home to many Pirates. Locating a Pirate Town offers players a great opportunity to acquire the latest Pirate weapons, notably the Flint-Knock Pistol, Pirate Musket, and Boom Shield, as Pirates often carry these items.
Players can also find Chests within Pirate Towns, making them a decent spot to stockpile some useful resources.
How To Get Pirate Weapons in LEGO Fortnite
Finding Pirate Weapons
The most reliable way to find Pirate weapons like the Flint-Knock Pistol and the Pirate Musket is by eliminating Pirates.
In addition to occupying Pirate Towns, Pirates can be found almost anywhere in the Lost Isles, so players won’t need to venture far to find them. Pirates can wield any Pirate weapon, but may also come equipped with Daggers and Swords. Once defeated, the Pirate will drop whatever weapon it was holding.
While eliminating Pirates is a surefire way to acquire Pirate weapons, the items they drop will have a low level of durability.
Crafting Pirate Weapons
All Pirate weapons can also be crafted via the Crafting Bench. Acquiring Pirate weapons this way is arguably the best method, as all crafted items will have a full level of durability. Here is a breakdown of how to craft every Pirate weapon in the game:

How To Use Pirate Weapons in LEGO Fortnite
While each Pirate weapon can be used in a variety of different ways, they each play well in different scenarios. Both the Flint-Knock Pistol and the Pirate Musket serve as great ranged weapons. The Boom Shield, on the other hand, combines both defense and offense.
