Empire Container locations in LEGO Fortnite x Star Wars
WhileEmpire Bunkersmight seem like the natural place for Empire Containers to spawn, you won’t actually find them inside. Instead,Empire Containers are found within broken houses near Imperial settlementswithinLEGO Fortnite’s open world— much like regular chests.
Empire Containersare grey chests adorned with two circular red pieces on the lid. They emit ared glow, lighting up the corner of the building and making them hard to miss, especially at night. Make sure you’rehealed up and ready to face enemiesbecause nobody steals from the Empire without facing the consequences.
How to open Empire Containers in LEGO Fortnite
The first time you attempt to open an Empire Container, you’ll be pushed back,and Imperials will swarm to your location. Once you’ve defeated the handful ofStormtroopers, you can go back over to the chest and open it as normal.
I’ve only ever been attacked by regular Stormtroopers, who don’t pose much of a challenge. Thank the Maker for a lack of Imperial aim training.
What loot is inside Empire Containers?
Inside Empire Containers, you’ll find regular chest loot and Star Wars crafting materials, likePlastoid and Durasteel, as well as blasters. As you likely know by now, these are used tocraft Star Wars itemsand construct buildings in your Rebel Village.
If you’re looking forRed and Green Lightsabers, those are instead found inside different Imperial-themed chests at theend of Empire Bunkers.
Wondering what to do with your newly found materials?Bowcasters, Detonators, and Blastersare all fantastic weapons to use in your fight against the Empire. Or against wolves. Or whatever enemy you have beef with; go wild!
