If you want to soar into the skies in LEGO Fortnite, you will need to get yourself a Balloon sooner or later. Be prepared to grind to get this item, but if you want to craft yourself a flying machine or get some colorful decorations, it’ll all be worth it.
What are Balloons in LEGO Fortnite
The Balloon is a Toy item you can craft late into the main game. It’ll take you around 10 to 20 hours to get the resources needed, depending on how lucky you are with the placement of your desert biome and how skilled you are as a player.
How to unlock Balloons in LEGO Fortnite
To unlock balloons, you first need to open the ability to create a Loom. You must also reach a certain level with your Village to acquire the blueprint, and you will need Flexhood and Sand Claws, which are tier 3 Epic items you’ll get midway through the game.
Once you have them, you can use them to make Silk Fabric. After making a single silk fabric, the balloon should appear on the Toys crafting menu. You will need:
- 1 Silk Fabric
- 1 Torch

How to use Balloons in LEGO Fortnite
If you try to put Balloons on any structures, you’ll find that no matter how many you use, the structures will never soar into the air. Only one structure, the Dynamic Foundation, can propel you to the sky. You need Flexwood to craft it and at least 4 Balloons on each corner to send you into the sky.
When you use Balloons, remember that once you break them, you will lose the resources that went into them, so be sure to act fast to save materials.
Now that you know everything you need to know about making balloons in LEGO Fortnite, you are free to go out there to build and float to your heart’s desire. Enjoy!
