There are plenty of things to craft in LEGO Fortnite, but as you progress, you’ll need more and more machines, one of which is the Loom. But how do you unlock it?
Looms are a valuable machine in LEGO Fortnite and can make your life a lot easier when crafting high-tier gear, but the reward does not come cheaply, and you will have your work cut out to add the Loom to your list of appliances.
But what exactly is the process to unlock the Loom, and how do you build it? We have the answers you need.
What does the Loom build in LEGO Fortnite?
The Loom is a top-tier machine that is a key to creating better tools, furniture, and other important items in the game, by crafting both Silk and Wool Fabric from each type of thread.
With these fabrics, you are able to create a whole collection of different items and furniture, including the all-important Glider, which allows you to zip from a high point in the world to the ground without any damage. If you’re looking to deck out your village with special decor, you’ll also need these two types of fabric to create nicer couches for your villagers to rest on, miscellaneous clutter that add depth to your home, and more.
How to unlock the Loom in LEGO Fortnite
To unlock the Loom in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll need to gather materials from the desert biome—specifically Flexwood. You can get Flexwood by harvesting Cactuses.
To harvest a Cactus, you need to have a Rare-tier Forest Axe at your disposal, which is crafted using Cut Amber and Knotroot Rods. From there, you’ll need to venture into the dangerous desert biome. Rare-tier tools and weapons can only be crafted from a station of the same tier, so you might want to upgrade your Crafting Bench to Rare or Epic as soon as possible.
If you’re heading out into the Dry Valley, you might want to take some Frostberries with you. These icy treats will keep you cool while you traverse these arid dunes so that you don’t heat up too much and start to take passive damage while you forage for resources.
The materials you will need to gather are Flexwood and Sand Claws—the latter of which can be collected by defeating a Sand Wolf, which can also be found in the beach and valley biome. These wolves are a lot tougher than the regular wolves found in the Grassland biome and will need some hefty weapons to defeat.
How to build a Loom in LEGO Fortnite
Once you have gathered the required materials, you can construct a Loom in your build menu. You need the following:
- 9x Flexwood
- 9x Flexwood Rod
- 6x Sand Claw
Once you have built a Loom, you can input Silk Fabric and Wool Fabric to make Thread, so you’ll need to make sure you have a Spinning Wheel to craft the necessary ingredients for using the Loom.
As long as you have a steady supply of Thread, you can now start to craft some high-tier items in LEGO Fortnite.
