Assuming you don’t have a Rare Pickaxe at hand, you have to upgrade your Crafting Bench to Rare, we have a dedicated guide for that here. With that said, let us dive into a detailed guide on how you can gather the Rare metal resource in the survival builder game.
A detailed guide on how to make Copper Bars in Lego Fortnite
- Before going to Dry Valley Cave, make sure you take a Rare Pickaxe with you. If you don’t have one, gather 3x Sand Claw, and 3x Flexwood Rod. (To get Sand Claws kill Sand Wolves in Dry Valley or beach areas. For Flexwood Rods, simply cut Cactuses to get Flexwood and process them in a Lumber Mill.)
- Then, travel to the Dry Vallery look for a cave entrance, and teleport into it. Look at walls or roofs to find orangish-brown colored metal ores and use your Rare Pickaxe to break them. Keep hitting them multiple times until they break and give you a Copper Ore. (Note: Take Snowberry to keep yourself cool while inside).
- You need to find Brightcores as well to melt the newly acquired ore inside the Metal Smelter. These can be found in Dry Valley Caves and can be gathered by using Uncommon or better Pickaxes. (Each Copper Bar needs 2x Brightcore for smelting).
- Once you are done, go back to your base and put 1x Copper and 2x Brightcore in Metal Smelter. Subsequently, the melting process will start and upon completion it will yield Copper Bars.
