How to Make a Thermal Detonator in LEGO Fortnite
First, you’ll need to unlock the recipe by obtaining Durasteel from destroyed Imperial ships and stormtroopers.
Once you have Durasteel, build a Rebel Workbench at your base. At the Workbench, the Thermal Detonator recipe requires:
- 2 Durasteel (made from smelting Scrap Durasteel)
- 1 Blast Core (dropped by defeating Blasters in Dry Valley caves)
With ingredients in hand, select the Thermal Detonator option to begin crafting. Upon completing it, these spherical explosives will be ready to use.
Using the Thermal Detonator
The Thermal Detonator has incredible area damage – it deals 23 damage in a wide radius when detonated.
Simply throw or roll it towards your target, then get clear before the short fuse explodes. This makes the Thermal Detonator perfect for destroying groups of stormtroopers or entire Imperial bases.
Its blast radius can demolish structures rapidly too, helping you harvest valuable resources like Durasteel faster.
Conclusion
With the new Star Wars gear, you can customize your loadout to fight back against the Imperial invasion in exciting new ways. But few weapons pack as much destructive punch as the mighty Thermal Detonator when used strategically in LEGO Fortnite.
The Star Wars collaboration, which began May 3rd, has dropped a bunch of quests you can complete across Fortnite modes. Wield your newly crafted weapons, complete these quests, and earn valuable rewards.
