LEGO Fortnite: How to Craft Activated Balloons

Discover how to unlock the Activated Balloons, the latest addition to LEGO Fortnite. Learn how to craft small and large versions!

LEGO Fortnite brings a new addition to the game – Activated Balloons. These balloons can be crafted and then controlled using channel switches, allowing you to inflate and deflate them at will. Let’s break down how to craft Activated Balloons in LEGO Fortnite.

How to Unlock and Craft Activated Balloons in LEGO Fortnite

Activated Balloons come in two sizes – small and large. While they function the same way, the crafting recipes differ slightly.

To unlock the ability to craft these balloons, you’ll need to build a Loom in your Survival world. In Sandbox mode, the recipes are already unlocked for you.

Once you have the Loom, you can start crafting the balloons. For the Activated Balloon Small, you’ll need:

• 1 Silk Fabric
• 1 Torch
• 1 Cord

For the Activated Balloon Large, the requirements are:

• 2 Silk Fabric
• 1 Torch
• 1 Cord

The Loom is essential for creating the Silk Fabric, as it takes 5 Silk Threads to make one piece of Silk Fabric.

You can craft Cords using 5 Vines at a Spinning Wheel, and Torches are made with 3 pieces of Wood and 5 Vines at a Crafting Bench.

How to Use Activated Balloons in LEGO Fortnite

Once you’ve crafted your Activated Balloons, it’s time to put them to use.

Using the Build Menu, these balloons can be placed on any Dynamic Foundation or similar structure. The key to pairing them with channel controls, such as Activation Switches, Pressure Plates, or Trigger Plates.

When you activate the channel, the balloon will instantly inflate. Deactivating the channel will cause the balloon to deflate. This allows you to control the inflation and deflation of the balloons as needed.

Advanced Setup

You can add a Driver’s Seat to your creation for an even more advanced setup. This will let you control up to four channels at once, giving you precise control over the activation and deactivation of your Activated Balloons. You can even customize the button inputs using a Wrench.

Try pairing your Activated Balloons with Thrusters to create versatile air transport vehicles that can move in any direction and ascend or descend at will.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting innovative designs with these new LEGO Fortnite toys.
