Woodn’t you believe it.
The more you want to improve your base, the more you’ll need to get hold of rarer crafting materials in LEGO Fortnite.

As Flexwood is a strong material, though, you’ll need to go through some hoops before you can collect any.
First things first, you need to craft a Rare Forest Axe (blue) to be able to chop down a cactus that contains the crafting item.
Keep reading to find out how to get Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite and which locations you can find it in.
How to get Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite
To get Flexwood in LEGO Fortnite, you need to chop down cacti in the desert (Dry Valley) biome with a Rare Forest Axe.
The Rare Forest Axe will be powerful enough to hack down a cactus – using the weaker versions won’t do anything.
To chop down a cactus, simply equip the rare Forest Axe and hit the desert plant with it until it explodes into pieces of Flexwood that you can pick up.
You’ll need to hit a cactus a number of times before it drops Flexwood for you.
It appears as though Flexwood can be found only in the cactus plant within the Dry Valley biome. That is where the plant grows.
