Surviving in LEGO Fortnite may seem like a challenge, but a leaked crafting station and new higher-tier items may shake things up in the game’s blocky world. Here’s what you should know.
LEGO Fortnite is all about surviving, crafting, exploring, and building a village that you can expand as you progress throughout the game. Despite being a new game mode in Chapter 5, Season 1, it certainly didn’t take too long until players found ways to unleash their creativity in it.
From building a fully functional plane to the iconic Millennium Falcon, this game mode offers players resources that they can transform into various things using multiple crafting stations.
However, according to recent leaks, it seems that players will have more options to explore due to an all-new crafting station and never-before-seen tier-five items.

A post on X showcased an upcoming LEGO Fortnite crafting station called the Refiner. At first glance, the model seems to resemble The Bridge, a key location in Fortnite’s lore. As for what it does, it allows players to process Rift Ore into Rift Fragments.
Considering Rift Ore isn’t available in-game at the moment, it’s likely we’ll be seeing this new material making its way to LEGO Fortnite alongside the Refiner.

But that’s not all. One of the well-known Fortnite leakers, iFireMokey, showed players a glimpse of new higher rarity items in action. These are the Rift Sword, Iron Axe, Titanium Shovel, and Titanium Pickaxe.
As seen from the post’s video, these tools seem to destroy trees and bushes faster compared to their lower-tier counterparts.

Meanwhile, the Titanium Shovel is a massive upgrade from the Epic Shovel. With this, you’ll be able to collect seeds and gather more soil in one scoop, allowing you to manage your crops more effectively.
It’s unclear when these items will be arriving in the game as they have yet to be confirmed by Epic. That said, combine these with all the other leaked weapons and items, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot to look forward to in LEGO Fortnite.
