The new collaboration between Epic Games and LEGO is finally live. And it is as good as having a brand new game to explore. Players get to craft and build a village for the displaced Lego Loopers to settle. However, this is a hostile place; players will need weapons to defend themselves.
In the new game, players get to craft their own world, either solo or with friends. By playing as the Fortnite-inspired character with 1,200 skins, players go on a journey to gather resources, craft items, and battle enemies. To fight enemies, players get multiple weapons at their disposal. These weapons can be crafted in LEGO Fortnite, with the help of some building materials available in the game.
All weapons in LEGO Fortnite
Although there are no guns in LEGO Fortnite, there are an impressive number of other weapons. This means players are advised not to expect to enjoy the combat of Fortnite such as blowing things up with a Rocket Launcher or mowing down enemies with a Minigun of the classic battle royale mode.
However, LEGO Fortnite does have combat focused on exploring and creating a world with friends. Interestingly, the only projectile-based weapon available in LEGO Fortnite is the Recurve Crossbow. Other types of weaponry players can use to defend themselves from enemies including skeletons, wolves, and brutes.

How to craft weapons in LEGO Fortnite?
These weapons can be crafted in LEGO Fortnite. For this players will need to craft at least a crafting bench as well as a lumber mill. The crafting bench will cost three pieces of wood and five pieces of granite, while the lumber mill requires eight pieces of wood and 15 pieces of granite. It is easier to build both of these under some shelter since the wood cannot be used in the rain. The cheapest shelter in the game costs 13 wood.
Here are the recipes to build the known weapons, shields, and tools in LEGO Fortnite:
Common
