The Bait Bucket is essential if you want to taste all the best fish in the game, so here's how to make this big bucket of chum.

How to craft a bait bucket

As with all craftable tools in Lego Fortnite, Bait Buckets come in either the Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Epic variety depending on what ingredients you create them with. We'll go over how to make the basic one before revealing how to make the more difficult buckets.

Step 1: Craft a fishing rod and catch any fish.

Step 2: Place that fish into your Food Processor to turn it into a Fish Fillet.

Step 3: Put the Fish Fillet back into the Food Processor to create a Common Bait Bucket.

After unlocking the Common Bait Bucket, you will need to also have a Juicer to make the higher-tier versions. Here are the recipes for those: * Uncommon -- 1 Fish Fillet, 2 Vines, 3 Raspberry * Rare -- 1 Bait Bucket, 3 Corn Kernel, 3 Pumpkin Seeds, 3 Pepper Seed * Epic -- 1 Bait Bucket, 1 Slap Juice, 1 Spicy Burger

FTC issuing $72 million in refunds over ‘unwanted’ Fortnite purchases
Fortnite at recommended settings

No one will argue that Fortnite is a money-printing machine, but some of its practices went too far with the way it pressured players into spending their hard-earned dough, and now the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is issuing more than $72 million in refunds to affected players across the country. If you're eligible for the refund, you'll be notified in the coming weeks, and you can expect an average payment of around $114, according to VGC.

Epic Games came under fire for this current situation back in 2022 when the publisher was accused of violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) along with accusations of tricking players into making unwanted charges. The FTC said Epic Games "used dark patterns to trick players into making unwanted purchases and let children rack up unauthorized charges without any parental involvement." Epic agreed to pay over $500 million to settle the complaints brought by the FTC.
