In the LEGO Fortnite world, Copper and Copper Bars are key ingredients for crafting top-tier items, including Grapplers, Ovens, larger chests, and more powerful weapons like the Rare (Blue) Longsword. Additionally, acquiring fifteen Copper Bars is essential to upgrade your Crafting Bench to Level 4, unlocking access to Epic-rarity items. If you’re eager to quickly gather this vital metal resource, this guide will walk you through the efficient process of obtaining and farming Copper in LEGO Fortnite!
How to Get Copper in LEGO Fortnite
Copper, much like Obsidian, is found in Lava Caves, a specific type of cave located in the Dry Valley biome that borders the starting Grasslands biome. Look for distinctive rock formations amidst the sand and cacti to pinpoint these caves. Similar to Obsidian, you’ll need a Rare Pickaxe to extract the metal from the nodes within these caves.
Copper ores have an orangy-brownish color, and you’ll notice the nodes on the walls and ceiling as you venture deeper into the cave. Fortunately, a single ore yields a substantial amount of copper (>10), and they often appear in pairs, providing ample supply from just one cave.
Crafting Snowberry Shakes (by juicing Milk and Snowberries) and equipping a Cool-Headed Charm ahead of your copper-gathering adventure is highly recommended! These items offer resistance to the extreme heat within the caves. Also, remember to bring along a Torch for illumination and some food for healing on the go.
After completing one cave, you can continue exploring more or return to your base to process the Copper into Copper Bars using a Metal Smelter.
