The path to obtaining Durasteel in LEGO Fortnite involves two primary methods:

Firstly, you can smelt Scrap Durasteel, which can be found by destroying objects within Imperial Bases using your trusty Pickaxe.

Secondly, you can take down Stormtroopers patrolling these bases, as they have a chance of dropping both Durasteel and Scrap Durasteel. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you on your quest:

  • Equip your Macrobinoculars and scan the environment for Empire Bunkers.
  • Once you’ve located a bunker, engage and eliminate any Stormtroopers guarding the area.
  • With the coast clear, use your Pickaxe to demolish every structure and object within the bunker, collecting Durasteel and Scrap Durasteel in the process.

Alternatively, you can visit Captain Bravara’s camp, where she’ll task you with cleaning up her base. This area is littered with spaceship debris, providing ample opportunities to farm Scrap Durasteel using your Pickaxe.

Additionally, keep an eye out for the crashed remains of a Star Destroyer scattered across the map – another rich source of Scrap Durasteel and also Plastoids.

Once you’ve amassed a sufficient amount of Scrap Durasteel, head to a Metal Smelter and combine two units of Scrap Durasteel to forge one unit of precious Durasteel.

Building the Metal Smelter

Before you can craft Durasteel, you’ll need to construct a Metal Smelter. This handy device allows you to combine Scrap Durasteel into usable Durasteel.

To build a Metal Smelter, gather the following materials:

  • 3 Blast Cores (found in caves in the Dry Valley region)
  • 15 Brightcore (also found in caves)
  • 35 Obsidian Slabs (Obsidian can be mined from caves)

With these resources in hand, you can construct your very own Metal Smelter and begin the process of transforming Scrap Durasteel into Durasteel.
