How to get Blast Cores in LEGO Fortnite
Before you can add a Blast Core to your inventory, you’ll need to find a Desert Biome, the home to Lava Caves. You’ll need to enter a Lava Cave which looks just like a regular cave, but they’re slightly red in color.
Inside Lava Caves are Blaster Mobs which is an enemy that disguises itself by appearing as a black pile of rocks with an orange glowing light in the center. Although they’re difficult to spot, they will begin moving as soon as you hit them.
When you find a Blaster Mob, make sure you approach it with caution as it will explode if it’s not eliminated in time. Depending on the type of weapon you have in your inventory, you can either take out the Blaster Mob from a distance, or use a Sword at close range to take a swing at the Blaster Mob and run away until it self destructs.
As soon as a Blaster Mob is eliminated, they will drop one Blast Core which will have a blue glow around it. All you have to do is run up to the item, pick it up, and it’ll be yours to keep.
