How to craft and use a balloon in LEGO Fortnite

Creating and using balloons in LEGO Fortnite can be a useful strategy for reaching great heights in the game. However, building these balloons requires specific steps and materials.

Our detailed guide explains the crafting process and how to effectively use balloons in LEGO Fortnite.

To create a small balloon, you'll need 1 silk fabric, 1 torch, and 1 cord. For a large balloon, you'll need 2 silk fabrics, 1 torch, and 1 cord.
 

1. Silk Fabric: Start with silk thread, obtained through a spinning wheel. The spinning wheel requires 8 boards, 5 wooden sticks, 5 woods, and 5 wolf claws. Transform spider silk into silk thread on the spinning wheel.
2. Silk Fabric (Continuation): Use a loom (9 flexwoods, 8 flexwood rods, and 6 desert wolf sand claws) to turn 5 silk threads into 1 silk fabric.
3. Cord: Again, use the spinning wheel to turn 5 vines into 1 cord.

Remember that when balloons are destroyed, they don't drop materials. The resources simply disappear.

How to Use a Balloon in LEGO Fortnite:
 

1. Basic: Attach the balloon to a dynamic base (4 flexwood) to create a basic hot air balloon. Make sure to be on the base when attaching the balloon.
2. Additional Propulsion: Add an activation switch (1 wood and 1 blast powder) and a small thruster (1 wooden rod, 1 blast powder, and 1 torch) to launch the balloon in the direction of the thruster when the switch is triggered.
3. Descending the Balloon: To make a large balloon descend, build about 10 4x4x2 foundations on your platform to add weight.

Follow these steps to craft and use balloons efficiently in LEGO Fortnite, elevating your gameplay strategies to new heights.
