How to unlock the Recycler station recipe in Lego Fortnite Odyssey

To unlock the Recycler, you must craft or interact with the Stone Breaker. The Stone Breaker is one of the first recipes you can get in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, requiring 20 Planks and 35 Granite. Use Wood at the Lumber Mill to gather planks. Granite can be found almost anywhere when interacting with rocks.

Once you’ve crafted the Stone Breaker, you’ll receive a notification of the new Recycler recipe. This is one of the unique features of Lego Fortnite Odyssey, where you must first construct standard builds to unlock others.

You can craft the Recyler with three Wooden Rods and four Granite Slabs. Use the Stone Crafter you just built/interacted with to gain Granite Slab. Then, you can utilize the Lumber Mill again for the Wooden Rods.

Set the Recycler down anywhere on your property, but make sure it’s in a secure spot—because the last thing you need is the Storm King crashing in and wrecking everything you’ve worked for. Keep it safe, keep it smart.

How to use Recycler in Lego Fortnite Odyssey

The Recycler station transforms all your crafted items into the materials used in its recipe. Any unneeded Charms and weaponry can be placed inside the queue, which then goes to the processing area and Recycled Items. For example, if I placed a Granite Axe inside, it would give me some Granite Slab and Wood.

General resources—like Wood, Rune Tomes, and/or Torches—won’t work, as the Recycler only works with crafted builds. It’s best to utilize this station for any weapons you’ve picked up from enemies. I’ve collected plenty of gear from these fights, so it’ll definitely come in handy for you, too.
