How to craft Pressure and Trigger Plates in LEGO Fortnite
Both Pressure Plates and Trigger Plates require the same materials to make, that’s 1 Wood and 1 Blast Powder. The recipe will unlock in your Build Menu once you add a Blast Powder to your inventory. Both Plates can be found in the Toys section of the Build Menu.
To get Blast Powder, you must eliminate the Skeletons that wear cowboy hats and bandanas that roam around the Dry Valley biome at night. Take any weapon of your choice (and a handy torch,) kill this kind of Skeleton, and loot their body. It’s worth noting that not every Skeleton will drop the Blast Powder you’re looking for, so you may have to slay your way through multiple.
Pressure Plates and Trigger Plates have contrasting functions. Starting with Pressure Plates, they can be connected to channels and triggered on and off by standing on the plate itself. They need to remain pressed down to work. As for Trigger Plates, they can be used to activate channels with a single press of a button, rather than being held down.
Now you know how to craft Pressure and Trigger Plates in LEGO Fortnite, you can make your game more convenient or chaotic the next time you play.
