How to get the Bowcaster in LEGO Fortnite

To begin constructing the Bowcaster, your first task will be to locate the Rebel Base. This can be accomplished by meeting with Captain Bravara upon loading into the game, who will provide you with Macrobinoculars to assist in finding the camp.

There have been instances of Captain Bravara not appearing upon loading a pre-existing world. In the event of this occurrence, you will be required to locate the Base independently.

The Rebel Outpost, located in the Grasslands, will not be too challenging to find as its campfire is easily visible at night.

To construct a Rebel Workbench at the Rebel Outpost, you will need to follow this recipe:

  • Wood x5
    • Wood can be found everywhere in the Grasslands, either pick them off the ground or from trees/branches.
  • Platoid x8
    • Plastoid can be found by taking out Stromtroopers or destroying Star Wars-themed structures.

Now that the Rebel Workbench has been constructed, you will need to acquire Durasteel in order to unlock weapon recipes. This can be done by gathering Scrap Durasteel from the remnants of the Starship near the Rebel Base. Once you have collected enough, you can smelt it in order to create Durasteel.

After obtaining this, you will gain access to the necessary recipes for assembling this weapon.

Crafting Recipe for the LEGO Fortnite Bowcaster

The Bowcaster recipe consists of:

  • 10x Durasteel
    • As just mentioned, destroy the debris around the camp and put the scraps in the smelter.
  • Cut Amber x3
    • you can find Amber in the Dry Valley, and then place it in a Gem Cutter.
  • Cut Sapphire x3
    • collect Sapphire in Frostlands Caves, and then place them in a Gem Cutter.
  • Power Cell x1
    • craft at an Uncommon Workbench with Glass x6 and Biomass x30

Obtaining the LEGO Fortnite Bowcaster in Sandbox Mode is significantly simpler since the weapon is automatically added to your inventory upon spawning.
