Crafting arrows in LEGO Fortnite is thankfully a pretty simple process. All you’ll need is some wood that you can collect from the ground or by chopping down trees, and some feathers that you can get from killing chickens (sorry).

Once you’ve got these items, head on over to your crafting bench and start, well, crafting as you can see above. You may have to upgrade your bench once to get the arrow recipe, but once you do, you can craft to your heart’s content.

Arrows can be used with crossbows in LEGO Fortnite to act as this mode’s ranged weapons. By crafting a crossbow, as long as you have arrows in your inventory, you can load them up and fire away at enemies from a distance. Crafting a crossbow early requires cord and wood rods, as you'll see below.

Much like guns in the standard game, getting a headshot using a crossbow and arrow will deal more damage to enemies in the area and the crossbows come in various rarities that improve the damage dealt and their durability.

That’s everything you need to know about crafting arrows and using them to get them to start slaying enemies in LEGO Fortnite. Just make sure you don’t become a litterbug and remember to pick up your arrows.
