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.
