Creative Shortcut Revealed: Harvesting Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite Without Required Equipment

In a recent Reddit video shared by user patwesleyd, a LEGO Fortnite player showcased an ingenious method for collecting Flexwood from the desert biome. This innovative technique allows players to gather Flexwood for crafting recipes even before unlocking the necessary equipment, offering a useful shortcut for resourceful players.

Flexwood, a valuable material in the game, is found in the desert biome and is traditionally acquired by breaking down cacti. This material serves as a crafting ingredient for various items in LEGO Fortnite, including weapons and charms.

Typically, players rely on the Rare Forest Axe to break cacti and obtain Flexwood. However, patwesleyd demonstrated a simpler yet effective approach that involves utilizing in-game enemies to efficiently destroy cacti, leaving behind Flexwood for players to collect.

LEGO Fortnite features different types of NPCs (Non-Playable Characters), and in this method, patwesleyd employed the Sheriff NPCs. By leading the Sheriff NPCs to the desert biome and maneuvering around the cacti, the player tricked the NPCs into using dynamite near the cacti.

The explosion caused by the dynamite effectively destroyed the cacti, leaving behind the coveted Flexwood for players to gather. Flexwood plays a crucial role in crafting essential items such as the Flexwood Rod, making it a highly sought-after resource in the game. With this newly discovered technique, players can streamline the resource-gathering process, enabling them to craft necessary equipment and acquire Flexwood without relying on the conventional tools.
