How to Craft a Recurve Crossbow in LEGO Fortnite

To craft a recurve crossbow in LEGO Fortnite, you need the following Utilities:

  • Crafting Bench
  • Lumber Mill
  • Spinning Wheel

Once you have these stations, open the Crafting Bench, then go to the weapons tab and select ‘Recurve Crossbow’ for which you need 5x Wooden Rod and 1x Cord. You can make the wooden rods from wood you harvest all around your starting area and process at the Lumber Mill, and the cord is made on the Spinning Wheel using vines, found while harvesting pumpkins and bushes.
