Blue Flopper location in LEGO Fortnite

This variety of fish can be found in the Deep Water areas of the map. Ideally, look for it in the ocean. The depth of the water makes a big difference in the type of fish you can find while fishing.

Since Blue Floppers are hard to come by, this location makes the most sense and increases your chances of catching one.

Besides the depth of the water, there aren’t any other criteria determining the spawn rate of this fish variety. Crucially, fish for them at dawn, as this is when they spawn the most. You can do so under any weather conditions as long as you're fishing in the Deep Water biome.

Although Blue Floppers have a Common rarity, they are not a very common occurrence, making them one of the hardest to catch in this game.
