Fortnite: build and strengthen the base - how it works

In Fortnite, building is an important part of the game. We'll show you how to build a solid base and strengthen it against enemies.

Fortnite: building basics

You need three resources to build in Fortnite: wood, stone, and iron. The core of the game is the gathering of the materials with which you build a base and use it in combat.
Fortnite has a crafting system similar to Minecraft. However, this is far less complex and allows you to create a few objects.
The objects that you have to make yourself include walls, floors, stairs, roofs and traps.
Except for cases, all of the objects mentioned belong to the structures. These can be changed and so you can create walls with windows, low walls or doors, for example.

Embark on missions to collect resources. Wood, stone and iron around your base regenerate again and again as soon as you have completed a mission.
We also advise you to collect materials during the quests. Also search objects such as boxes, but also bushes.
For example, you can get ammunition, weapons and other resources. Only after you have collected the contents should you destroy the containers.
You should also explore new areas as much as possible. So you can get exploration badges that increase the quality of your finds.
When building, note that structures that have already been set cannot be built elsewhere at the same time. You then only have the option of tearing them down and rebuilding them elsewhere.

Build stairs to connect two floors. Spiral stairs are particularly suitable for retreat in an emergency because they are easier to close.
Set traps to strengthen your base. You'll unlock new and better ones as you progress through the game that you can attach to walls, floors, and ceilings. They are ideal for stopping monsters.
Bridges also help protect the base. If you need to move quickly from one end of the base to the other during the fight, we recommend bridges for the faster route.
Always keep enough materials in stock and collect them during the fight. In this way you can repair, reinforce and improve damaged structures directly in battle.
