Acquiring Scrap Durasteel
Scrap Durasteel is a vital resource found exclusively on the Star Wars Island within LEGO Fortnite. Harvesting Rebel and Imperial structures scattered across the map yields this valuable material.
Players can amass Scrap Durasteel by dismantling Rebel Outpost debris, exploring crashed spacecraft like X-Wings and TIE Fighters, and navigating structures within Imperial Bunkers. Armed with a Pickaxe of any rarity, gathering Scrap Durasteel becomes a straightforward task.
Crafting Durasteel
While Scrap Durasteel serves as a foundational resource, its primary purpose lies in its transformation into Durasteel through a Metal Smelter. Constructing a Metal Smelter requires gathering the following materials:
- 15 Brightcore: Obtainable from Caves or Imperial Bunkers in the Dry Valley biome.
- 35 Obsidian Slabs: Crafted from Obsidian using the Stone Breaker.
- 3 Blast Cores: Dropped by eliminated Blasters.
Once the Metal Smelter is operational, players can convert 2 units of Scrap Durasteel into Durasteel, making it an economical resource. With Durasteel at their disposal, players can delve into crafting various items, such as Macrobinoculars, through a Rebel Workbench.
