How to find caves in LEGO Fortnite

To find caves in LEGO Fortnite, you’re going to need to be on the lookout for protruding rock formations in the various biomes within the game.

Each biome has a respective cave that you can enter and plunder for its resources (as you'll see below in the image of a lava cave)

While some caves are relatively harmless, others will have environmental hazards (like the Burning temperature effect in desert caves), so whipping up a few handy recipes and having a powerful pickaxe before you go spelunking will help to make sure you’re appropriately equipped.
