While Durasteel can be crafted via a Metal Smelter using 2 Scrap Durasteel, getting a hold of Blast Cores is a little more tricky.Blast Cores are dropped by eliminated Blasters, a hostile Roller variant found within the Dry Lands biome. Before heading over to the Dry Lands to battle this deadly foe, it is advised that gamers stock up on items that will allow them tosurvive the heat.
Once gamers are in the Dry Lands and have located a Blaster, they can simply head towards the creature to provoke it. Next, swiftly retreat, for this pesky critter will pursue the player before detonating - leaving behind a single Blast Core upon doing so.
