The Epic Recurve Crossbow deals damage from a distance, ensuring players can take down enemies without getting close. Remember, wild creatures in LEGO Fortnite wind up for an attack, and while players may escape a few punches, one or two are sure to land and reduce their health. With the Epic Recurve Crossbow, players can defeat a wolf before they get close.

The Epic Recurve Crossbow causes 14 damage, unlike the regular crossbow, which only deals 9. It can take down powerful enemies like the skeleton Wolves in ice caves that are difficult to take down. To craft the Epic Recurve Crossbow, players must upgrade their Crafting Bench to Epic and collect 1 Drawstring, 3 Iron Bars, and 8 Frostine Rods.

It will hit and deal more damage to enemies without breaking easily to ensure players claim match victories.

Players need 12 Iron Bars and a Rarity Crafting Bench to unlock the recipe for this sword. To find Iron Bars, players must explore the Frostland biome and enter ice caves to collect Iron from the walls.

However, to craft these Essence recipes, players must gather the necessary materials. For example, the Essence of Durability needs 10 Granite Slabs and 1 Rough Amber.

3 Boulders

Destroys Structures and Deals Tons of Damage

Although Boulders in LEGO Fortnite deal deadly damage, they’re not very popular as weapons. Many players find them difficult to control and maneuver and slow to push. Due to their massive size, it's impossible to pick up Boulders and throw them at enemies.

The only way to use Boulders is to push them in the direction of the enemy, which can be challenging. However, when used right, Boulders can instantly kill Brutes and wolves and break houses and structures. If players have a structure they want to destroy or a foe to eliminate, they should consider using nearby Boulders to deal tons of damage.

2 Dynamite

Explode Enemies From Distance

LEGO Fortnite: Dynamite

Dynamite deals 16 damage from range, taking down any enemies trying to attack before they can get close. Players don't have to get up and close with enemies when using Dynamite, eliminating the need to dodge and escape as they're attacked. In fact, it's best they keep their distance so the ensuing explosion doesn't harm them as well.

A Boom Barrel works similarly to Dynamite, except it causes more damage. To use it, players can either unlock its recipe or find one lying around in abandoned houses. Using the Boom Barrel with a Crossbow is advisable, so players don’t die from the explosion.

Simply place the Boom Barrel where the enemies are and hit it with a Crossbow bolt from a distance to cause an ignition. Alternatively, players can aim the Boom Barrel where they want and press the trigger button to throw it. The Barrel will explode once it lands at the aimed spot.
