How to craft small and large Activated Balloons in LEGO Fortnite
To unlock both versions of the Activated Balloons, you must have a Loom in your world which is used to craft fabrics. Once you own this piece of machinery, Activated Balloons will appear in your Build Menu.
The recipe for a small Activated Balloon is as follows:
- 1 Silk Fabric
- 1 Torch
- 1 Cord
As for a large Activated Balloon, you’ll need:
- 2 Silk Fabric
- 1 Torch
- 1 Cord
To make Silk Fabric, you must feed 5 Silk Thread through a Loom to produce a single piece of Silk Fabric. Silk Thread can be acquired through killing spiders that are scattered all over the Grasslands.
When it comes to Cord, you need to place down a Spinning Wheel and place 5 Vines in it to obtain one Cord. Vines are also required to craft a Torch, along with 3 pieces of regular wood.
To use Activated Balloons in LEGO Fortnite, you must use channel controls to toggle them on and off. This can be done with the new Pressure or Trigger Plates, depending on your preference. The inflation of the Balloon can then be controlled this way when they’re attached to a Dynamic Foundation.
Now you know how to craft Activated Balloons, let your imagination run wild the next time you load into LEGO Fortnite.
