The v31.20 update for LEGO Fortnite has expanded the game world with the introduction of the Lost Isles, an exciting new island accessible via a Bus Station. This vibrant new landscape features diverse biomes such as Floating Islands and the Jungle, and comes with a host of new items, including a variety of weapons. Among these are the Throwing Spears, which players can now obtain through interactions with the Peely Tribe or by crafting.
Where to Find the Peely Tribe in LEGO Fortnite
The Peely Tribe consists of friendly NPCs located in the Lost Isles, particularly within the Plains biome. They are typically found in their distinctive NaNa huts, and are known for wielding Shields and Throwing Spears. Despite their friendly nature, players cannot attack the Peely Tribe. Instead, these NPCs will drop Throwing Spears when defeated. However, since the Peely Tribe is non-hostile, players will not be able to attack them directly.
Additionally, players can explore the NaNa Village within this biome. Although it resembles a standard village more than a simple landmark, it is an important location in the Lost Isles.
Note: The update’s blog post suggests that players might find numerous Throwing Spears from the Peely Tribe, but current gameplay indicates this is not the case. For now, players will need to craft Throwing Spears or find them in Chests. This guide will be updated if this situation changes in future patches.
How to Acquire a Throwing Spear
The most reliable method for obtaining a Throwing Spear is through crafting at a Crafting Bench. The Throwing Spear comes in four rarities, each offering improved damage and durability. Here’s how to craft each type:
| Throwing Spear Rarity | Recipe Unlock Requirements | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Throwing Spear (Common) | Add Mahogany to inventory | 4 Mahogany Wood, 1 Wolf Claw |
| Throwing Spear (Uncommon) | Add Red Rock to inventory | 4 Mahogany Wood, 3 Red Rock |
| Throwing Spear (Rare) | Add Gold Bars to inventory | 3 Gold Bars |
| Throwing Spear (Epic) | Add Rough Emerald to inventory | 4 Flexwood Rod, 3 Cut Emeralds |
How to Use a Throwing Spear
The Throwing Spear is primarily a ranged weapon, effective for dealing significant damage from a distance. To use it, follow these steps:
- Charge Up: Hold the Fire button (Left Click/RT/R2) to charge the throw.
- Release: Release the button to launch the spear.
Once thrown, the spear will leave your inventory and will need to be retrieved for reuse. Each throw will consume some of the spear’s durability. Alternatively, you can perform a standard melee attack by pressing the Fire button without charging.
Final Thoughts
Obtaining and using Throwing Spears in LEGO Fortnite adds a new layer of strategy to gameplay. Whether you’re crafting your own or seeking them out in the Lost Isles, mastering the use of these ranged weapons can enhance your adventures. Stay tuned for updates on any changes to how Throwing Spears are acquired, and enjoy exploring the Lost Isles with your new arsenal.
