Malachite is one of the rarest resources in LEGO Fortnite, boasting some of the best stats for strength and durability in the game.
It is also one of the hardest resources to find and collect, and will require a good amount of time and hard work from you and your friends as you continue to build up your base. Since it is very rare, Malachite can only be found in one specific area on your world, which means you and your squad will need to work together to explore as much as possible. If you aren’t near snow, for example, you might need to lace up your boots and get to walking.
Here is how to get Malachite in LEGO Fortnite.
How to mine Malachite in LEGO Fortnite
To harvest any Malachite, you will first need an Epic-level Pickaxe to break them from their resting place. Any other tool will bounce off uselessly, leaving you disappointed and tired.
This means players will also have to level up their Crafting Bench to its highest level, which requires a whole collection of different rare items, such as 15 Copper Bars, 25 Obsidian Slabs, and a single Brute Scale. The Epic Pickaxe needs plenty of tough-to-get items, too, including eight Obsidian Slabs and five Frostpine rods.
Where to find Malachite in LEGO Fortnite
To find Malachite deposits in LEGO Fortnite, you’ll want to look for green gems in the icy mountains of the Frostlands. Once found, you can mine Malachite with your Epic Pickaxe.
The icy mountains area is easy to spot since it is covered in snow with walls of ice surrounding the area’s ledges. It is, however, relatively hard to get to, especially without any protection from the constant cold you’ll be dealing with. Pack a torch, a Spicy Burger or two, and prepare to build a quick shelter for the night.
Once you find your way into the snowy hills of the Frostlands, keep your eyes peeled for these green hexagon-shaped stone deposits growing at the top and on the perilous ledges of the tallest mountains. These outcroppings will give you around seven pieces of Malachite each and usually spawn in clumps of one to three deposits.
Now that you know how to get Malachite in LEGO Fortnite, you can now use the Stone Breaker to convert them to Malachite Slabs!
