How to catch Fish in LEGO Fortnite: Explained

Let's start with the basics of how to catch fish in LEGO Fortnite. You will need a Fishing Rod. You could find one while exploring, but there is a certain satisfaction in crafting it from scratch. That said, you will need a Crafting Table (level 1) to do so.

Once you have built it, the next item you will need is a Cord. Once you add it to your inventory, the recipes for Common Fishing Rod will be unlocked. There are three more rarities (Uncommon, Rare, and Epic).

These can be unlocked by adding Knotroot Rod, Flexwood Rod, and Frostpine Rod to your inventory. You will also need to upgrade your Crafting Table for each rarity. However, for the time being, a Common Fishing Rod should be enough to get you started.

Moving on, once you have a fishing rod, you need to find a fishing spot. They can be identified by tiny bubbles that appear in the water. If none can be found, you can use a Common Bait Bucket to attract fish.

Keep in mind, the higher the rarity of the bait used, the better the odds of catching rare fish. The same goes for the rarity of the fishing rod being used. Given that it will take some time to make the best crafting equipment in LEGO Fortnite, this new mechanic should be treated as a mini-game rather than a chore.
