How To Get Blast Core in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey

LEGO Fortnite Odyssey features a wide-open world for players to explore, complete with various different islands home to vast biomes. Players diving into LEGO Fortnite can gear up, establish a village, and work their way towards beating the ultimate threat: the Storm King.

LEGO Fortnite Odyssey has 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 resources may be gems like Emeralds and Sapphires, Blast Core is also rather useful. Here is how to get Blast Core in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey.

How To Get Blast Core

Blast Core is a resource dropped by eliminated Blasters, one of the many hostile mobs in the LEGO Fortnite Odyssey world. Blasters are most commonly encountered in the Dry Valley biome but can also appear in nearly any cave—especially Dry Valley Caves—and occasionally on 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 to keep at a distance, stay ahead of its path, and wait for it to explode.

However, players can sometimes eliminate 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 will drop a single Blast Core, ready to be collected.

Legendary weapons will help take down the Storm King in LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. However, players will need to build a Legendary Forge first.

What Is Blast Core Used For?

Building The Metal Smelter

Blast Core is primarily used to build a Metal Smelter via the Build Menu, a Utility Station that only requires 35 Granite Slabs and 3 Blast Core to create. The Metal Smelter is used to refine metals into Metal Bars and is the most surefire way of acquiring resources, like Copper Bars, Iron Bars, Durasteel, and Glass.

Crafting Weapons

Blast Core can also be used to craft Blast weapons and tools, each of which is of Uncommon rarity. Players can apply Blast Cores to the head/blade/limb of their weapon within the Crafting Bench. Doing so will apply the Force II Rune, which increases the weapon’s knockback.

Blast Core is also a main crafting resource for the Thermal Detonator, a Star Wars explosive that can only be crafted via the Rebel Workbench. Thermal Detonators require 2 Durasteel and 1 Blastcore to craft, and are excellent explosives to use against tough enemies like Brutes and Golems.

Crafting Charms

Last but not least, Blast Cores are also used in a handful of Charm recipes via the Crafting Bench. While there are only a few Charms that require Blast Cores, each one has stat-boosting benefits that make them an excellent addition to the player’s inventory.

Here is a quick breakdown of all the Charms that can be crafted with Blast Cores:
