LEGO Fortnite Odysseyhas a wide variety of different resources that players can stockpile, each serving as crafting components for various weapons, tools, and builds. While some of the most sought-after resourcesmay be gems like Emeraldsand Sapphires, Blast Core is also rather useful. Here ishow to get Blast Core inLEGO Fortnite Odyssey.
How To Get Blast Core
Blast Core is aresource dropped by eliminated Blasters, one of the many hostile mobs in theLEGO Fortnite Odysseyworld.Blasters are most commonly encountered in the Dry Valley biomebut canalso appear in nearly any cave—especially Dry Valley Caves—and occasionallyon the Floating Islands of the Lost Isles.
Much like Rollers, Blasters often remain burrowed underground, with their volcanic shells visible from a distance. When players get too close, a Blaster will spring out of the ground and charge at them, glowing red to indicate it’s about to detonate. When facing a Blaster, it’s best tokeep at a distance, stay ahead of its path, andwait for it to explode.
However, players can sometimeseliminate a Blaster before it fully emerges, particularly in caves. With a few well-timed sword swings, it’s possible to take them out while they’re still buried underground.
When a Blaster is eliminated, whether in battle or after it detonates, it willdrop a single Blast Core, ready to be collected.
What Is Blast Core Used For?
