Wondering whether you can repair weapons and tools in LEGO Fortnite? This guide should help you out.

If you're sick of having damaged weapons or tools all the time you'll probably want to repair them, but it's not quite as simple as that. Below you'll find an explanation of whether repairing your axes, swords or other tools is possible in the game.

Can you repair weapons or tools in LEGO Fortnite?

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to repair your weapons or tools in LEGO Fortnite.

This means you'll have to make new weapons or tools once they're too damaged. I know this can be quite annoying, but as of right now, there's no way around it.

If you're playing in Creative/Sandbox mode it's not as big of a deal, as you can simply spawn new ones, but once your weapons and tools get damaged in Survival mode you'll need to make new ones.

Was it possible to repair weapons or tools before?

It was actually possible to repair weapons and tools in LEGO Fortnite using a glitch, but this has since been patched. It's no longer possible to do in the game.

The glitch involved making a small chest and placing all your damaged tools or weapons inside, then exiting the chest menu and breaking the chest apart with your hands. This would restore the durability of any tools or weapons that you placed inside.

Now that this has been patched, there's no way to repair weapons or tools in the game. If any methods to repair things get added to the game, we'll update this guide to let you know.
