LEGO Fortnite: How to Craft the Pressure Plate
Discover how to craft and utilize the new Pressure Plate in LEGO Fortnite, a versatile tool for automating systems and mechanisms on your island.
The recent v30.40 update for LEGO Fortnite has brought new additions to the game, including the fast travel feature and two additional vehicles. However, the update also introduces three new toys that players can incorporate into their builds – one of which is the Pressure Plate. Let’s break down how to get the Pressure Plate in LEGO Fortnite.
How to Craft the Pressure Plate in LEGO Fortnite
A Pressure Plate is a unique switch that can be utilized in a variety of different ways.
It’s a tool that allows you to turn channels on and off by applying pressure. This means you can activate or deactivate various devices and mechanisms simply by stepping on the plate.
Crafting a Pressure Plate
To craft a Pressure Plate, you’ll need two key ingredients:
- 1 Wood
- 1 Blast Powder
While Wood is relatively easy to obtain from nearby trees, Blast Powder can be a bit more challenging to get.
You can find Blast Powder in treasure chests around the LEGO Fortnite island, or by defeating Outlaw and Crossbones Skeletons in the Dry Valley and Shore biomes.
Once you have the required materials, you can build the Pressure Plate directly from the Build Menu.
How to Use a Pressure Plate in LEGO Fortnite
The Pressure Plate works by activating and deactivating channels based on the pressure applied to it.
When you step on the plate, it will turn on any connected channels or devices. And when you step off, those channels will be switched off.
You can use Pressure Plates to control a variety of in-game mechanisms, such as:
- Activating vehicles or doors
- Triggering explosives or traps
- Setting up simple transportation systems, like makeshift elevators
The key is that the Pressure Plate will remain active as long as there is pressure applied to it. This makes it a great tool to pair with other new additions like Activated Balloons, allowing you to create intricate, automated systems around your LEGO Fortnite island.
Just like other switches, you can use a Wrench to control which specific channels are activated by the Pressure Plate.
So, if you’re looking to take your LEGO Fortnite building and automation to the next level, be sure to experiment with the Pressure Plate!
