How to get Brute Scale in LEGO Fortnite

In LEGO Fortnite, you have a couple of main ways to get Brute Scales. One straightforward method is to defeat Brutes, which are big monsters found in different parts of the game world. Here are the types of Brutes you might encounter:

  • Regular Brutes: These are the easiest to defeat and you'll find them on beaches and in grasslands.
  • Sand Brutes: A bit tougher, these Brutes are in the Dry Valley.
  • Frost Brutes: The hardest to beat, located in the Frostlands.

If fighting isn’t your style, you can also find Brute Scales by exploring chests. The lava caves in the Dry Valley are a good place to look. These chests sometimes contain Brute Scales, offering a safer but less certain way to gather them.

These monsters are in different areas of the game and have similar ways of attacking. They can punch, slam the ground, and shoot poisonous projectiles. To fight them, you must dodge their attacks and hit them when it's safe.

Using a Recurve Crossbow is effective because it allows you to attack from a distance. Also, having a villager join you can be very helpful. Villagers can distract the Brute, making it easier for you to keep your distance and attack safely. Remember, each type of Brute is different. Some are stronger than others, so always be prepared with the best weapons you can find.

FAQs

Where to get Brute Scales?

Brute Scales are dropped by Brutes, which are large hostile creatures in LEGO Fortnite. They spawn in specific biomes: Grasslands, Dry Valley, and Frostlands. Regular Brutes are found in Grasslands and are easier to defeat. Dry Valley contains Sand Brutes, which are stronger and more dangerous. Frostlands has Frost Brutes, the toughest version. 

Defeating any Brute will drop its corresponding Brute Scale, which can then be collected for crafting or upgrades.

How to get Brute Scales easily?

The easiest way to gather Brute Scales is to use ranged weapons like crossbows or bows with high damage. Staying on high ground or cliffs lets you attack safely without being hit by the Brute’s powerful melee or projectile attacks. 

Make sure to dodge frequently and maintain distance, especially against Sand or Frost Brutes. Farming Brutes in biomes where they respawn frequently also increases your collection rate.

Why can’t I find Brutes?

Brutes only spawn in certain biomes, so if you don’t see any, check that you are in Grasslands, Dry Valley, or Frostlands. They often appear near caves, cliffs, or other elevated areas. 

Check if your game is not in a peaceful mode or restricted settings, as this can prevent Brute spawns. Exploring different parts of the biome increases your chance of encountering them.

Does biome affect Brute Scale?

Yes, the biome determines the type of Brute Scale you receive. Grasslands give regular Brute Scales, Dry Valley gives Sand Brute Scales, and Frostlands gives Frost Brute Scales. 

What can you use Brute Scales for?

Brute Scales are essential for crafting charms, upgrading your Workbench, and creating special items like the Totem of Immortality. Collecting Brute Scales is therefore crucial for progression and survival in LEGO Fortnite.
