Sand Shells can be found by defeating Sand Rollers in the Desert or Dry biomes on your map. These vicious enemies are found only in the desert biomes, so be well-armed and ready before engaging with one.

You'll need to explore the desert biome for a while before encountering Sand Rollers. They are characterized by yellow shells and make a chattering sound when nearby.


Where to find Desert biomes in LEGO Fortnite

Most seeds in LEGO Fortnite will contain a desert or dry biome that can be identified by the signature orange area on the minimap. Keep exploring the map and they will appear in desert biomes that contain geysers, cactuses, and rocky outcrops.

As Sand Rollers are found in the desert biome, keep a Snowberry or a Snowberry Shake in your inventory to prepare against adverse weather conditions. Desert biomes are also a great place to find Spicy Pepper, which is a great ingredient to make a host of foods in LEGO Fortnite.

Sand Rollers have a rolling attack that deals heavy damage if hit. Additionally, they can throw chunks of dirt at you, so be careful and don't be in the way. The best way to defeat a Sand Roller is to stun it with your shield when it comes rolling and then attack with a sword. You can build both using these materials:

  • Common Knight Shield: Plank (x5) and Cord (x1)
  • Uncommon Knight Shield: Flexwood Rod (x8) and Cord (x3)
  • Rare Knight Shield: Copper Bar (x15)
  • Epic Knight Shield: Iron Bar (x25)
  • Uncommon Longsword: Knotwood Rod (5x)
  • Rare Longsword: Copper Bar (12x)
  • Epic Longsword: Iron Bar (12x)

Once the Sand Roller hits your shield, it is temporarily dazed. This is the best time to launch an attack with your sword or dagger and defeat it. Defeating a Sand Roller will give you one Sand Shell that you can use for various crafting and upgrading purposes.
