LEGO Fortnite is a completely different version of Epic Games’ metaverse and introduces a Minecraft-esque gameplay where one has to gather resources, build, and survive in their own world. Like Minecraft, LEGO Fortnite also has an intricate tier system, and Flexwood is an important resource that lets players take their basic tools and weapons to the next tier in the game. Even though new players might find the resource to be quite elusive, fret not because this article will help you get set up in no time.
Flexwood is an important resource that is required to upgrade villages and even make a few rare tools and weapons. However, it is only found in the desert biome, an area we recommend new players avoid until they have gained some experience. However, if you’re ready to take on the desert and its burning-hot temperatures, here’s everything you need to know about Flexwood.
What is Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite and its use?
A gateway resource in LEGO Fortnite is one of those resources that opens up a whole new tier of items for the player to use. Likewise, Flexwood is a gateway resource that allows the player to craft rare tools and weapons in order to make their journey a little easier. However, if one notices closely, Flexwood has to be converted to Flexwood rods to make weapons, as its unprocessed can only be used to upgrade villages.
Nevertheless, making Flexwood rods is quite easy as players will need to walk up to a Lumber Mill with some Flexwood in their inventory. Once at the building, a recipe will show up allowing them to convert every single Flexwood into a Flexwood rod. Subsequently, once players get their hands on Flexwood rods, they will be able to make a rare recurve crossbow for 8 Flexwood rods and 1 drawstring, the uncommon knight shield for 8 Flexwood rods and 3 cords, and the rare pickaxe for 3 Flexwood rods and 3 sand claws.
A detailed guide on how to find Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite
Now that one is aware of Flexwood and its uses, one can agree that it is a must-have resource. Well, here is a step-by-step breakdown of how you can obtain Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite.
- Flexwood is a resource one gets from chopping down cacti in the desert Biome. However, one can only chop down these spiky plants with a rare forest axe or better.
- To make a rare forest axe, one has to gather 5 cut amber and 3 Knotroot rods. Naturally, gathering Knotroot from caves will help one get the required rods, while cut amber can only be made by processing rough amber in a gem cutter workbench.
- To make a gem cutter workbench, one needs to gather 4 marble slabs, 5 rough amber, 5 sand claws, and 3 sand shells. After this, they can process the rough amber at the workbench to get cut amber and make a rare forest axe.
- With the forest axe equipped, players should make their way over to the desert biome before cutting down the cacti to collect Flexwood.
- We also recommend you make a cool-headed charm with 3 silk threads, 1 marble, and 3 sand shells, to combat the desert’s hot temperatures.
