How to Get Copper Bars in LEGO Fortnite

Copper Bars have many uses in LEGO Fortnite, but the primary one is for assembling rare swords. These won’t turn the game into a monster-farming simulator, but the damage boost will surely come in handy. Here is the whole process broken down:

  1. Find a Dry Valley biome and enter a Lava Cave

    Dry Valleys are desert biomes in LEGO Fortnite. Every cave you stumble upon while roaming one of these will be a Lava Cave, so enter whichever you like.Lava cave in the Dry Valley biome

  2. Gather Blast cores, Obsidian, Brightcores, and Copper

    You can get blast cores when you kill lava crabs or in chests that spawn inside the cave. ObsidianBrightcores, and copper all appear on the walls and the roof of the cavern. Although, you must have a rare or better pickaxe to mine them.
