LEGO Fortnite is not a new game, but a special mode in the original Fortnite. You’ll find the signature style of the classic building set, brick construction and characters stylized as people from LEGO sets. And if you’re having trouble mining copper, use our guide.
What is copper used for in LEGO Fortnite?
Copper can be melted into copper ingots, which are used in manufacturing. In particular, they are actively used in construction. But for this you need a metal melter. To build it, you will need the following resources:
- Explosive core (3);
- Obsidian plate (35);
- Clear core (15).

Explosive cores fall from blasters. And for the sake of obsidian plates and clear cores you will have to go to lava caves. We’ll talk about it below.
To make a copper rod you will need:
- Copper (1 piece);
- Clear core (1 piece).

How to Win Copper in LEGO Fortnite. How to survive in lava caves
Copper can be found in lava caves that appear in the Dry Valley (desert). But before you go there, you have to do it Rare pickaxe. Only with its help can you work with copper ore. To make this tool you will need:
- Flexible wooden rod (3);
- Sandclaw (3).

However, you must first upgrade your workbench to a rare level. You will need:
- Gnarled bar (15);
- Marble slabs (6);
- Sandclaw (3);
- Sand shell (3).
Sandclaws get out of the wolves, and shells – from rollerballs. You’ll find both creatures in the Dry Valley. Knotted rods and marble slabs are hidden in the caves.
Keep in mind that you will experience elevated temperatures in lava caves. To survive, you need to collect snowberries in advance and make a cocktail from them. Drink it as soon as it gets too hot. Or you can use an ice spell. Access to it opens at an unusual level of your workbench.
Once you’ve finished your preparations, look for lava caves. You will have to find them in the open world of the game. Only then will they appear on the map. Go downstairs and look closely at the walls. As soon as you see a copper deposit, hit it with a rare pickaxe.
