This guide shares the complete list of upgrades, the resources required to unlock them and the effects they offer in LEGO Fortnite.
Base building, or, in more official terms, village building, is one of the staple features of LEGO Fortnite.
Once you put down your Village Square, you can start building your village and recruiting new villagers.
However, as you start, your village will be at Tier 1, and there will be only a few building options and villager slots that you can use.
To grow your village, you must upgrade it to a higher tier. To ensure you know about all upgrades, the materials you need for them and the rewards they offer, we are here with this handy guide listing LEGO Fortnite village upgrades.

Currently, there's a total of ten tiers that your village can attain as you upgrade.
