As you advance in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, you will need increasingly rare crafting materials, many of which can be difficult to find or even dangerous to acquire. Some crafting recipes may ask for items you haven’t unlocked yet, such as Copper Bars.
To create Copper Bars, you’ll first have to gather Copper. Here’s everything you need to know about collecting Copper and turning it into Copper Bars, along with the necessary tools and workstations.
Updated December 20, 2024: This article has been revised to include the latest changes from the Odyssey update.
How to Collect Copper
In the latest Odyssey update, Copper can be found in caves located in the Dry Valley, including Lava Caves, and also in caves within the Grasslands.
To gather Copper, you will need an Uncommon Pickaxe. The recent addition of Component-based Crafting allows for a wider variety of materials when creating items.
As you choose your crafting materials, make sure the recipe shows that you’re crafting an Uncommon Pickaxe (or a higher tier) on the right side of the screen.
How to Create Copper Bars
After collecting Copper, you’ll need to turn it into Copper Bars. However, you first need to unlock the Metal Smelter workstation.
To craft the Metal Smelter, you’ll need the following materials:
