    Unlike other LEGO Fortnite items that are found out in nature, like brightcore or obsidian, copper bars are “made” with certain items. Copper bars help you create tools and defenses that are crucial for your progress in the game. While these items are most likely not strangers to many players, it may still be confusing to make copper bars in LEGO Fortnite. Below, you will find everything you need to know about copper bars!

    What are copper bars used for in LEGO Fortnite?

    They are used in many crafting recipes. After turning copper into bars using a Metal Smelter, you can make many useful items. For example, you can create ovens for cooking and grappling hooks for moving around easily. They are also needed to make large storage chests for keeping your items organized.

    Copper bars are also used to make tools and weapons like rare longswords and epic forest axes, which are important for fighting enemies and collecting materials. You can also make other handy items like mailboxes and shovels with these bars. If you are trying to craft any of these items, read the next section carefully!

    How to get copper bars in LEGO Fortnite

    To obtain Copper Bars, you first need to gather Copper Ore, which is primarily found in Lava Caves located in the Dry Valley biome. These caves are scattered throughout the region, often near lava pools or cliff edges. Using a Rare Pickaxe or higher-tier pickaxe is essential, as it allows you to mine Copper Ore more quickly. Each Copper Ore node typically yields around 7 Copper Ore per harvest.

    Once you have collected enough Copper Ore, you need to smelt it into Copper Bars. This requires a Smelter, which can be built at your base or found in certain crafting areas. To create one Copper Bar, you must combine 1 Copper Ore with 2 Brightcore at the Smelter. Brightcore is another resource that can be mined in special caves using upgraded pickaxes. Managing your resources efficiently ensures you can continuously produce Copper Bars without running out of materials.

    For efficient Copper farming, focus on exploring Lava Caves in the Dry Valley biome and plan your mining routes to hit multiple Copper Ore nodes in one trip. Upgrading your pickaxe reduces the time it takes to mine each node, and carrying enough Brightcore ensures you can immediately smelt the Copper Ore into bars. By following these steps, you can steadily collect Copper Bars to craft powerful tools, weapons, and upgrades in LEGO Fortnite.

    Copper bars are essential to craft certain materials in LEGO Fortnite but did you know that there is an ocean of items that you can craft that will enhance your gear? We have plenty of LEGO Fortnite guides for you to check out. You can find a couple of them below:

    Onur Demirkol here, content writer for THESPIKEGG. I have been around for a very long time now, you may have seen me in the comments.

    I started writing here in 2021, but my first gig was back in 2018. That was when I realized people actually get paid to write about games. I’ve written thousands of articles for different media outlets, led teams, and conducted interviews with players.

    When I’m not behind the keyboard, I’m watching Galatasaray, following the NBA, or pretending I’m still good at basketball. I also work full-time at AnyDesk, writing serious things in not-so-serious ways.
