How to Get Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite

Flying machines, dynamites, air raids. It’s all possible with a little bit of Blast Powder. Fortunately, getting Blast Powder is as easy as killing a few mobs or exploring the terrain. Here’s how to find Blast Powder in Fortnite.

You can get Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite by going to a Desert Biome and kill skeletons that have cowboy hats and yellow bandannas.

To locate these enemies, visit the Dry Valley Desert Biome at night. No special charms or gear are required; just bring torches for visibility and warmth. Skeletons with cowboy hats and bandannas often spawn in groups, and you can often see their torches from a distance.

When you kill these skeletons, they have a chance to drop an assortment of loot, from bones to arrows. But more importantly, they have a chance to drop Blast Powder.

These Skeletons are a common mob, and you can use the arrows they drop to kill them from a distance. To make the process of farming Blast Powder easier, it’s highly recommended that you equip the Essence of Luck enchantment on your weapon of choice.

Doing so will increase the chance of enemies dropping extra loot when using weapons and tools.

Another Way to Get Blast Powder in LEGO Fortnite

The second way to get Blast Powder is from Caves. They can be found in Granite caves or in caves near the snow biomes. Once you’re inside a cave, start looking for chests, which may contain the Blast Powder. But be wary—you may also stumble across monsters like Stone Rollers, Spiders, and Skeletons.

Blast Powder Uses

As you progress in LEGO Fortnite, blast powder becomes increasingly valuable. It is essential for crafting advanced items such as the grappler, which is a plunger gun facilitating easy access to higher areas. Additionally, blast powder is crucial for creating explosives like dynamite and the boom barrel. If you aim to build moving machines, both the large thruster and small thruster, along with the activation switch, require blast powder.
