Learning how to get Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite can make a big difference in your adventures. But finding Blast Powder isn’t always easy—you’ll have to hunt down the right enemies and explore the game world at just the right time.

In this guide, we’ll show you where to find Blast Powder, how to fight for it, and the best ways to collect lots of it quickly. 

What is Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite?

Blast Powder is an important resource in LEGO Fortnite that you need to collect to make different weapons, tools, and machines. It's one of the key items that help you get stronger and more creative as you play, allowing you to take on harder challenges and build more complex structures.

You can use blast powder to make explosives like dynamite and boom barrels. These are powerful items that help you blow up obstacles, deal a lot of damage to enemies, or cause destruction during fights. They’re great for clearing paths or setting traps in the game.

Blast powder is also needed to craft the Grappler, a fun and super useful tool. The Grappler works like a plunger gun that lets you swing to high places or move quickly across distances. It’s perfect for exploring tough areas or escaping from danger when things get too intense.

If you love building things, blast powder is a must for making moving machines. You use it to create thrusters, which come in both large and small sizes. These thrusters give your builds the power to move or fly. Plus, you’ll need blast powder to make an activation switch to control these machines. So, if you’re thinking of making a flying vehicle or a mobile contraption, blast powder is essential.

How to get Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite

Blast Powder isn’t something you can simply pick up anywhere; you need to defeat specific enemies to collect it. Here is how:

Fight the right skeletons

To get blast powder, you need to beat skeleton enemies that wear cowboy hats and bandanas. These are the enemies that drop blast powder when defeated. Although other enemies might drop it too, these skeletons are the easiest and quickest to farm.
 

Go to the Desert Biome at Night

The skeletons only show up in the “dry valley” desert biome during the night. 

Make sure it’s nighttime when you head to the desert area. These enemies don’t appear in the daytime, so timing is important.

Bring torches to help you

You don’t need any special weapons or gear to fight the skeletons, but it’s smart to bring torches. They will help you with two things:

• Seeing in the dark: The desert gets very dark at night, so torches will help you see where you’re going and spot enemies more easily.
• Staying warm: Unlike LEGO Fortnite Lava Caves, nights in the desert can be cold, and torches help keep your character warm. If you want to learn other ways to stay warm in LEGO Fortnite, check out our guide.

Look for skeleton groups

Once you’re in the desert at night, search for groups of skeletons. Here’s how to find them:

• Look for torch light: The skeletons often carry torches, so you’ll see their light from far away. This makes them easier to spot.
• Skeletons appear in groups: They usually spawn in packs, so once you find one group, you’ll likely find more nearby.ü

When you see them, get ready to fight. You can use a basic weapon like an uncommon longsword. The skeletons aren’t very tough, and you can defeat them with just a few hits.

Collect Blast Powder

After you beat the skeletons, some of them will drop blast powder. Keep these things in mind:

• Not every skeleton drops it: The blast powder drops aren’t guaranteed. Sometimes you’ll get one to three kegs of blast powder from each group of skeletons you defeat.

How to get more Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite

If you need more blast powder, just keep hunting and fighting more groups. The skeletons spawn often, so you can easily farm this resource.

In short, to get blast powder, go to the dry valley desert biome at night and defeat skeletons with cowboy hats and bandanas. Bring some torches so you can see better and stay warm. Once you find the skeleton groups, fight them, and collect the blast powder they drop. Repeat as needed to gather plenty of blast powder for crafting cool items and machines!
