How to craft Copper Bars in LEGO Fortnite

First of all, you need to discover a desert biome in LEGO Fortnite and then find a Lava Cave which is where Copper resides. Visually, a Lava Cave looks the same as every other cave in the game, but with a red tinge.

Once you’re in the cave, there are a couple of resources you need to look out for. Brightcore is an essential material for crafting Copper Bars and it appears as a yellow substance that sticks out of rocks and surfaces. All you have to do is approach it and use your Pickaxe to mine it.

Additionally, keep your eyes peeled for bronze coloured Copper Ores which are also found attached to various surfaces within the cave. Again, whip out your Pickaxe and begin chipping away at the Copper Ore to add it to your inventory.

Now you’ve got all the required resources, you need to take them to a Metal Smelter. If you’re yet to craft a Metal Smelter, you can do so using:

15 Brightcores
3 Blast Cores
35 Obsidian Slabs

The recipe for one Copper Bar is:

One Copper
Two Brightcore

In your Metal Smelter, you can craft as many Copper Bars as you need, or continue topping it up with resources so it can automatically create them for you to keep your reserves high.
