Where To Find Wild-Storm Tomatoes in LEGO Fortnite
Wild-Storm Tomatoes are hostile NPCs that players can encounter on the Lost Isles. While they can be found in almost every biome, they are especiallyprevalent within the Jungle biome, often patrolling around Tomato Templesdeep within the Jungle.
On top of Wild-Storm Tomatoes, players can alsofind Chests within these Tomato Temples, though they will have to eliminate all the Wild-Storm Tomatoes within the area to open them.

Eliminating Wild-Storm Tomatoes
As mentioned earlier, theWild-Storm Tomatoes often wield the Explorer’s Machete and Knockback Shield. Eliminating those who carry these weapons will allow players to take them for themselves, though the durability of the weapons they drop will be fairly low.
Unlike Skeletons, however, taking down a Wild-Storm Tomato can be relatively challenging for players just starting out, as they boast a higher level of health — similar to the likes of Storm Wild enemies in Expert Mode. To take them down quickly, players should be sure to get their hands on weapons likethe Throwing Spear.
In addition to dropping the weapons they carry, Wild-Storm Tomatoes will also dropStorm Cores.

While eliminating Wild-Storm Tomatoes is a good method to acquire the Explorer’s Machete and Knockback Shield, the best way to acquire them is bycrafting them via the Crafting Bench. Doing so will bestow players either tool with a full level of durability.
