LEGO Fortnite now features an exciting new fishing mechanism that adds more fun to the gameplay. To fish, players can use a fishing rod and look for whirlpools in the game. However, it can be tricky to find them sometimes, and that’s where a bait bucket in LEGO Fortnite comes in handy.
- With bait buckets, you create a whirlpool for yourself.
- There are four types of Bait buckets that you can craft in the game, and each has different fish in their whirlpool.
- A Whirpool is a small circle of waves with a highlighted color that helps differentiate it from entire body of water.
- Grey, green, blue, and purple whirlpools represent common, uncommon, rare, and epic items.
- You must make fish fillets using the food processor to make bait buckets.
- Each fish gives different loot when you catch them.
How To Craft The Bait Bucket In LEGO Fortnite?

- The bait bucket is unlocked as soon as you catch a fish.
- Each bait bucket has a different recipe to craft them.
- After catching a fish using the fishing rod, you must craft the food processor to make fish fillets.
- Add the fillet and the required ingredients to the Juicer, and you will craft a bait bucket.
Each category of bait bucket has a different recipe.
