LEGO Fortnite: How to Get Copper

You need to get Copper in LEGO Fortnite to create Copper Bars, which are needed for a bunch of useful and necessary upgrades, like bigger chests or better crafting benches. In addition, you can use them to get a variety of items, such as Ovens, Ladles, and Barrels.

Despite the wide range of uses for this LEGO Fortnite resource, it can be a bit of a challenge to find it, especially if you’re new to the game. For those struggling, this guide provides some useful tips to make getting Copper easier.

How to Find Copper in LEGO Fortnite

To find copper, you’ll need to go to the desert biome and find the entrance to the Lava Cave. It usually looks like a large mound of rocks with a small entrance, and when you enter it, you’ll be teleported inside the cave, where you can get the copper.

The Snowberry Shake will be helpful here, as it provides heat resistance for 10 minutes. We recommend stocking up on this drink to improve your chance of survival. You can make it with a Juicer by using Snowberries, which you can collect in the snow biome, and Milk, which you will get from Cows.

Once you are inside the Lava Cave, wander around and use your torch to navigate the dark. Your goal is to find Copper Ore, which will look like a pile of rocks and can be either at the bottom of the cave or somewhere above you. It can be distinguished from other ores by its dark red, blue, and orange shades.

Once you’ve found the right ore, start hitting it with your pickaxe until it breaks and drops Copper. However, keep in mind that you need to have a blue, or more specifically, a Rare Pickaxe to mine Copper. Otherwise, you won’t be able to do it.

How to Get Copper Bars LEGO Fortnite

Take some time to collect enough copper, then return to the surface and head to a Metal Smelter. With this, you can melt Copper into Copper Bars, which you can later use for crafting. For each Copper you want to melt, you will need to use 2 Brightcore. And if you don’t have a Metal Smelter, you can craft it using resources that can be found in the Dry Valley caves:

• 3 Blast Cores
• 15 Brightcores
• 35 Obsidian Slabs
