Upgrading your Crafting Bench will unlock lots of new recipies in LEGO Fortnite / Epic Games

Open up your Crafting Bench, and along the top of the menu you’ll see a tab called “Bench Upgrade”. Select that and you’ll be shown the materials you’ll need to complete the upgrade. For example, the first upgrade will ask you to hand over eight planks and three shells – if you need help finding these items, check out our guide on how to get Shells from Rollers in LEGO Fortnite.
