How to get copper in Lego Fortnite
To get copper in Lego Fortnite, you need to find a lava cave in the Dry Valley (Desert) biome and a rare or higher pickaxe.
Craft a rare pickaxe
To craft a rare pickaxe in Lego Fortnite, you will need to upgrade your crafting bench to rare using:
- x12 knot root stems
- x15 marble slabs
- x6 Sand Claws – Can be collected by defeating wolves in the Dry Valley biome.
- x3 Sand Shells – Can be collected by defeating Rollers in the Dry Valley biome.
Once you have upgraded your crafting bench, you can craft a rare pickaxe using:
Find a lava cave
Lava Caves in Lego Fortnite can be found in any biome in Dry Valley (desert). On our map, this biome was in the southeast and it took a while to get there. Once you find the biome, we recommend building a bed under a shelter on the edge of the biome and setting it as a spawn point in case something goes wrong.
Lava Caves will be marked on your map like any other caves in other biomes once you discover them. You will know it is a lava cave because you will feel an extremely different temperature when you enter it. If you want to learn how to survive in a lava cave, skip below!
Harvest the copper
Once you are in a lava cave, look for golden and yellowish formations growing on the ceiling or walls of the cave. It’s copper and all you need to do to harvest it is repeatedly hit it with your rare pickaxe and collect the falling material.
How to Survive Lava Caves in Lego Fortnite
The hardest part about mining copper or other materials like obsidian is surviving the extreme heat of a lava cave. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to beat the heat:
- Craft and equip a Cool Head Charm – This is unlocked with the uncommon level of the Crafting Workbench.
- Eat a blueberry – Can be collected in cold environments.
- Eat a snowberry shake – Made with a juicer, two snowberries and a milk.
We recommend crafting the Cool Head Charm and placing it in your equipment slot in your inventory, as you will only need to craft it once for the rest of your Lego Fortnite game.
