In LEGO Fortnite, players will need to get their hands on Copper Bars if they want to progress in their playthrough. This can be a challenging task for those unaware of where to find Copper and how to turn it into Copper Bars, especially for those who are just starting off in the newly introduced world. The material can then be used to make other in-game items

LEGO Fortnite was released on December 7, 2023, as part of Chapter 5 Season 1. After several rounds of leaks, it was featured in the Big Bang event, where players got a look at the LEGO world, Festival mode, and Rocket Racing. Now that the unique collaboration is live, players are eager to explore every square inch of it.
