How to Find Brightcore in LEGO Fortnite

Brightcore is one of the more hard-to-get resources in LEGO Fortnite. However, if they’re brave enough to venture into Lava Caves, players will find an ample supply of Brightcore. Lava Caves can be found deep within the desert biome, the Dry Valley. A tell-tale sign of a Lava Cave is that it is almost always surrounded by a bunch of trees.

These ominous caves are filled with heat, fire, and danger. Before entering a Lava Cave, players should equip necessary items to protect themselves from the heat, such as Snowberry Shakes and a Cool-Headed Charm. Additionally, players need a Rare Pickaxe to mine Brightcore. A Rare Pickaxe can be crafted at a Rare Crafting Bench. It requires three Flexwood Rods and three Sand Claws.

Armed with the necessary equipment, players should explore Lava Caves till they come across small golden-yellow rock formations on walls, next to lava pools. Brightcore can be mined from these walls. However, players need to be extremely careful as this is quite dangerous; if it’s too risky, they should simply abort the mission and try to find another spot. Players can also find other rare resources in Lava Caves, such as Obsidian.

Players can set up a camp outside the cave’s entrance so that they are able to spawn back nearby in case they die inside the cave.

Uses of Brightcore

Brightcore is used to enhance tools and weapons, granting them the ability to glow in the dark. Brightcore is also a main crafting ingredient in several recipes. These include:

  • Copper Bars – Requires one Copper Ore and two Brightcore
  • Metal Smelter – Requires 15 Brightcore, 35 Obsidian Slabs, three Blast Cores
