Soar to new heights in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey by mastering the art of balloon crafting! Whether you’re on mobile, Nintendo, PlayStation, or Xbox, this guide reveals the essential materials and steps to build both small and large balloons, unlocking a whole new way to explore the vibrant LEGO Fortnite world. Ready to take flight? Let’s dive into the crafting secrets that will elevate your gameplay like never before.
Our Lego Fortnite Odyssey guide will explain how to craft a balloon and everything you’ll need to build before you can make one.
How to make a balloon in Lego Fortnite Odyssey
To make a balloon in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, you first need to craft essential materials like silk fabric, cord, and a torch. Start by obtaining silk thread using a spinning wheel, which requires wood, planks, rods, and wolf claws. Then, use a loom-crafted from flexwood, flexwood rods, and sand claws-to turn silk thread into silk fabric. For a small balloon, combine 1 silk fabric, 1 torch, and 1 cord; for a large balloon, use 2 silk fabrics, 1 torch, and 1 cord. Attach the balloon to a dynamic base made of flexwood to create a hot air balloon. You can enhance it with thrusters and activation switches to control movement, and add weight with foundations to manage descent. This setup allows you to fly and explore the world more easily in Lego Fortnite Odyssey.
To craft a smallballoon in Lego Fortnite, you’ll need 1 silk fabric, 1 torch, and 1 cord. For a large balloon, you’ll need 2 silk fabric, 1 torch, and 1 cord.
Silk fabric starts with silk thread, so you’ll need a spinning wheel first. That requires 8 planks, 5 wooden rods, 5 wood, and 5 wolf claws. At a spinning wheel, you can turn spider silk into silk thread.
To turn that thread into silk fabric, you’ll need a loom (9 flexwood, 8 flexwood rods, and 6 sand claws from desert wolves). At a loom, you can turn 5 silk thread into 1 silk fabric.
You’ll also need the spinning wheel to turn 5 vines into 1 cord.
Balloons don’t drop materials when you destroy them
In LEGO Fortnite Odyssey, when you destroy balloons, they do not drop any materials. Instead, the resources used to craft the balloons simply disappear upon destruction. This means that players cannot recover silk fabric, cords, or torches from broken balloons, so careful use and placement are important to avoid wasting materials.
Before you go too far with making balloons, know that balloons (and other vehicle parts like wheels and thrusters) don’t drop resources when you destroy them. The resources just disappear.
How to use a balloon in Lego Fortnite Odyssey
To use a balloon in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, first craft the balloon using silk fabric, a torch, and a cord. Attach the balloon to a dynamic base or structure to enable it to lift off. For added control and propulsion, you can equip small thrusters and an activation switch, allowing you to launch and maneuver the balloon in the desired direction. To descend, either destroy some balloons or place structures to add weight. Make sure to assign thrusters and balloons to different channels using a wrench for proper functionality. This setup lets you fly and explore the world from above, enhancing your gameplay experience.
The most straightforward use for a balloon is to just attach it to a dynamic foundation (4 flexwood). With just those two ingredients, you’ve got a basic hot air balloon that will carry you straight up (just make sure you’re standing on the foundation when you attach the balloon – we learned this the hard way). The problem is that your balloon just kind of stays up in the sky.
You can, if you want, throw on an activation switch (1 wood and 1 blast powder) and a small thruster (1 wooden rod, 1 blast powder, and 1 torch) or two. When you hit the switch, your balloon will rocket off in the direction the thruster is pointing. At the moment, there are no steering wheels in Lego Fortnite, so if you want to choose the direction you go, you’re going to have to get creative.
You can get a balloon to descend by building onto its platform and adding weight. For one large balloon and one dynamic platform, you’ll need to build about 10 4x4x2 foundations to get it to drop all the way back down to the ground.
Want to learn the secret to crafting the coolest LEGO Fortnite balloons
Want to learn the secret to crafting the coolest LEGO Fortnite balloons? First, you’ll need to build a Loom and a Spinning Wheel-key crafting stations that let you transform raw materials like vines, silk, and granite stones into silk fabric, cords, and torches. With these, you can craft both small and large Activated Balloons that let you soar through the LEGO Fortnite world. Mastering balloon crafting not only unlocks new ways to explore but also adds dynamic building possibilities using pressure or trigger plates to control inflation. Dive into this guide to discover the exact materials and steps to elevate your gameplay sky-high across all platforms, from mobile to consoles.
What are the most effective ways to craft large and small balloons in LEGO Fortnite
Most Effective Ways to Craft Large and Small Balloons in LEGO Fortnite
To craft balloons in LEGO Fortnite, you first need to gather key materials and use specific crafting stations:
-
Materials Required:
-
Silk Fabric: Made from Silk Thread, which is crafted from Silk obtained by killing spiders.
-
Cord: Crafted by processing Vines at the Spinning Wheel.
-
Torch: Crafted using Wood and Vines.
-
-
Crafting Stations:
-
Spinning Wheel: Converts Silk and Vines into Silk Thread and Cord.
-
Loom: Converts Silk Thread into Silk Fabric.
-
Crafting Recipes
-
Small Balloon:
-
1 Silk Fabric
-
1 Torch
-
1 Cord
-
-
Large Balloon:
-
2 Silk Fabric
-
1 Torch
-
1 Cord
-
Tips for Efficiency
-
Use the Spinning Wheel and Loom to efficiently convert raw materials into Silk Fabric and Cord.
-
Large Balloons provide more lift and require only slightly more Silk Fabric than Small Balloons, making them more resource-efficient for lifting larger structures.
-
Assign resource collection tasks to LEGO Fortnite Villagers to gather Vines, Silk, and Granite Stones faster.
-
Once crafted, attach balloons to structures to lift them; large balloons can lift more weight with fewer units compared to small balloons.
