How to build a Rebel Workbench in Lego Fortnite

To build a Rebel Workbench in Lego Fortnite you need to unlock its recipe by adding Plastoid to your inventory and by visiting the Rebel Village at least once. If you're not sure how to get Plastoid then don't worry, we've gone into detail about this in the next section.

Once you have Plastoid in your inventory, you'll need the following materials for the Rebel Workbench recipe:

  • x5 Wood
  • x8 Plastoid

When you've got all the required materials, open your 'Build' menu and then select the 'Rebel Workbench' option underneath the Utility tab. Then simply choose where you want your workbench to live, we recommend somewhere sheltered so you can use it in bad weather, and build it.

How to get Plastoid in Lego Fortnite

To get Plastoid in Lego Fortnite you will need to destroy Empire or Rebel debris dotted around crash sites and camps. Essentially, most items made of galactic materials can carry Plastoid so it's worth destroying any items you don't want to keep.

However, if you're feeling brave, you can attack Stormtroopers and they may drop Plastoid upon perishing.
