The v31.20 update for LEGO Fortnite introduces the Lost Isles, an exciting new island that players can access through the Bus Station. This new location features various biomes to explore, unique enemies to battle, and a treasure trove of loot, including a range of Pirate-themed weapons. From the Flint-Knock Pistols and Muskets to the explosive Boom Shields, these new weapons offer players a thrilling way to upgrade their arsenal. Here’s everything you need to know about finding Pirate Towns and unlocking Pirate weapons in LEGO Fortnite.
Where to Find Pirate Towns in LEGO Fortnite
Pirate Towns are located within the Beach biome of the Lost Isles. These towns are composed mainly of Tudor-style houses, which can sometimes make them tricky to locate, as other abandoned villages feature similar architecture. However, Pirate Towns are typically identified by their docks, often along the shorelines, and are populated with Pirates.
Finding a Pirate Town not only provides an opportunity to battle Pirates but also to loot for Pirate-themed weapons like the Flint-Knock Pistol, Pirate Musket, and Boom Shield. Additionally, Pirate Towns contain chests, making them excellent spots to gather valuable resources.
How to Unlock Pirate Weapons in LEGO Fortnite
Finding Pirate Weapons
The easiest way to acquire Pirate weapons is by defeating Pirates. Pirates, often found in Pirate Towns or wandering around the Lost Isles, may wield various Pirate weapons, as well as daggers and swords. Once defeated, Pirates drop whatever weapon they were using, giving players access to a wide range of Pirate weaponry.
However, be aware that Pirate weapons obtained this way have low durability, making them less reliable for extended use.
Crafting Pirate Weapons
Pirate weapons can also be crafted at the Crafting Bench, a more durable and reliable method than looting from Pirates. Crafting these weapons ensures they have full durability, giving you a long-lasting edge in combat. Here’s a breakdown of how to craft each Pirate weapon:
| Pirate Weapon | Recipe Unlock Requirements | Crafting Recipe |

| Flint-Knock Pistol (Common) | Add Mahogany to the inventory | 2 Mahogany, 1 Mahogany Rod, 1 Cord, 1 Bast Powder |
