How to Craft Recurve Crossbow in LEGO Fortnite

The recurve crossbow is a weapon you’ll unlock in your crafting bench after building the spinning wheel, which you can create using five wooden rods and one cord. Wooden rods are available after making a lumber mill, while the cord is a crafting material in the spinning wheel.

How to Build the Spinning Wheel in LEGO Fortnite

The spinning wheel is a station you unlock after making the lumber mill. Once you use wood and granite to create the lumber mill, you’ll obtain the spinning wheel blueprint requiring the following resources:

  • Plank x8
  • Wooden Rod x5
  • Wood x5
  • Wolf Claw x5

You can craft planks and wooden rods at your lumber mill using wood. Wolf claws, on the other hand, are dropped from wolves, a hostile creature that spawns at night. Bringing a weapon like a shortsword will help you defeat them more easily.

Once you have all four resources, craft the spinning wheel to unlock the recurve crossbow in your crafting bench. To make the recurve crossbow, you’ll need five wooden rods, which you learned to make with the lumber mill, and one cord, which you create using vines in the spinning wheel.

How to Hit and Deal Damage With a Recurve Crossbow in LEGO Fortnite

To use your recurve crossbow to deal damage, you must get your hands on some arrows. You can obtain arrows from abandoned tower chests or craft them using wood and feathers at a crafting bench.

Once you have some arrows on hand, hold your recurve crossbow, aim your crosshair at any enemy, and shoot your arrow to deal some damage. The recurve crossbow is a reliable ranged weapon to inflict quick damage to monsters before they can approach you, allowing you to weaken them before taking them out with a melee weapon.

As a bonus, dealing damage with a recurve crossbow is one of the tasks for unlocking Trailblazer Tai!
