Technically, all you need to get started fishing in Lego Fortnite is a fishing rod and a body of water. As any great fisherman will tell you, though, the key to catching the rarest fish lies in your bait. The same applies here, but how you go about collecting said bait is a little obscure. 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

Fighting enemies in Elden Ring Nightreign.

The major factor that sets Elden Ring: Nightreign apart from the base game is that it is designed to be a co-op experience. Instead of a long, primarily solo RPG adventure, you and two companions will rush through Limveld slaying bosses, getting loot, and hopefully surviving all three nights. While you could try your luck matchmaking with random players, your best bet at success is to get a group of friends together. FromSoftware games have notoriously obtuse matchmaking systems, and sadly, Elden Ring: Nightreign isn't much better. Here's how to play with your friends.

How to make a saddle in Minecraft
A Minecraft character in a stable.

You tamed a horse in Minecraft, but the beast still has a mind of its own -- it absolutely will not follow your lead. You can corral it inside a fence, but trying to ride it isn't working like you hoped. Aside from flying, horses are one of the fastest ways to travel, but to take control of your mount, you need a saddle. Previously, you weren't able to craft a saddle and would have to get one in other ways, including trades at villages, exploration, and fishing. However, after many years, we are finally able to make a saddle for ourselves and we will show you exactly how to do it.
