Star Wars has invaded LEGO Fortnite by adding its own special area with Empire forces, a rebel base, and weapons that require the new Plastoid resource. Here is how to get Plastoids in LEGO Fortnite.
How to Get Plastoids in LEGO Fortnite
LEGO Fortnite players can get Plastoids by killing Stormtroopers and destroying the new Star Wars-themed structures. Both can be done in the main world and the separate Star Wars area introduced in the update.
The only spot that contains Plastoids in the main world would be the destroyed Star Destroyer that players saw crash when loading the world after the update. While the Star Destroyer crash would be a good source of Plastoids from the wreckage and the random Stormtroopers that populate it, the site can be very far away from your village. It can be a considerable distance even if you travel by vehicle.
Although, there is a destroyed Star Destroyer in the new area as well. It is a good distance away from the Rebel Base, noted by the billowing smoke in the sky, but contains some buildings and chests to pillage to get a good number of Plastoids if in a fix.
Stormtroopers are also well equipped with hard-hitting weapons and armor that gives them a ton of health. Those playing in Survival mode will need to be seriously packed with Epic weapons to stand a chance against the traditional Star Wars fodder.
You could accidentally come across Plastoids playing through the new adventure by the time you actually need it to build the Rebel Workbench. The opportunity to build it will come after upgrading the Rebel Base several times, which will take a while if you do not bring the right materials.
