How to Get Better Weapons in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions
Written by Priya Kapoor
You can get better weapons in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions by defeating bosses or things like buying gear at weapon vendors. Some drops are temporary, others are permanent, and both have their uses for sure.
Boss Drops Can Give Temporary Legendary Upgraded Weapons
If you're lucky, you might get a rare weapon like the Unstable Mekk Pistols after beating a Spire boss. These weapons can have up to five perks and are stronger than most gear you’ll see.
But here's the catch... they might go away once the mission ends. It’s not a bug.
One of the perks even warns you the weapon came from the future and won’t last. So use them while you can, then say goodbye.
Vendors Sometimes Sell Upgraded Gear
You can also buy weapons at vendors using Essence. These are located at the hub area before missions. They sell permanent gear, and if you check often, you might find something better than your default set.
Vendor gear does not disappear when a mission ends. If you find something good there, it’s yours to keep.
Drops Are Random... So Keep Playing
You can sometimes get Epic and Rare weapons from missions, but only at random. There is no known way to guarantee specific drops or upgrade weapons directly.
What you can do is play more missions, beat more enemies, and keep an eye on both vendors and boss rewards.
Final Blurb
If you want stronger weapons in LEGO Fortnite Expeditions, your best option is to farm Spire bosses for rare drops and check the vendor often for upgrades.
I’d recommend just don’t get too attached to Legendaries that drop mid-mission because they’re probably not sticking around.
