Cannon to the right of them, cannon to the left of them!

Since the new cannon weapon remains stationary, eliminating foes with it proves challenging. You’ll also need to unlock the build first, which requires a specific set of recipes.

If you’re having trouble completing the Weekly Quest tied to it, here’s how to defeat an enemy with a cannonball in LEGO Fortnite.

LEGO Fortnite Defeat an enemy with a cannonball quest guide

For starters, you must unlock the recipe for the cannon by obtaining Blast Powder from pirates or cowboy skeletons. Collect six Planks and three Copper Bars (Dry Valley caves) to craft it, then start making cannonballs. Build ammunition on the crafting bench using two Granite and one Blast Powder. I utilized these materials to set up a cannon in front of Pirate Camp, but there are better ways to do it.

Cars with a cannon or the Crusher builds are the best tools for the mission, as they provide a mobile feature to the restricted cannon. That way, you don’t have to wait around for enemies to show up, taking the battle right to their doorstep. It’s also the quickest way to defeat an enemy with a cannonball in LEGO Fortnite.

How to unlock and craft Crusher in LEGO Fortnite

The Lost Isles update introduces a new recipe with the Crusher, a tank-like vehicle equipped with a cannon. If you don’t see this recipe in the collection, you must acquire its ingredients to trigger its appearance. Here’s a list of all the items needed for the Crusher:

  • 33 Wooden Rod
  • 71 Wood
  • 68 Granite
  • 32 Frostpine
  • 10 Cord
  • 10 Plank
  • 8 Frostpine Rod
  • 3 Copper Bar
  • 2 Torch
  • 2 Glass

You can find most objects in the Lost Isles, but a few are found elsewhere. Go to the Dry Valley for copper and the Frostlands for Frostpines. Additionally, copper requires a rare pickaxe, so you’ll need to make some upgrades prior.

Those who collect all materials can start building the Crusher via the Builds’ Rugged Rollers section. Jump on for a ride and get the cannon ready to satisfy the LEGO Fortnite quest.
