Lego Fortnite Odyssey: Village Upgrade Guide

Exploring the wilds of Lego Fortnite to forage, fight monsters, and find chests is all well and good, but without an established village as your home base, surviving will be difficult. One of your first tasks, in the beginning, is to build your village square so you can start building shelters and a bed.

But don’t stop there. Soon, you’ll be able to start upgrading your village, which will bring more rewards and ways of surviving in this beautiful yet dangerous world. Here, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about what you need for each upgrade and what rewards you can expect.

Updated January 10, 2025 by Connie Watson: The Lost Isles and Storm Chasers update have brought with them new kinds of villages to build and upgrade. We've also updated the upgrade requirements for villages in the three main biomes to reflect what is now in the game.

How To Build Your Village Square

To upgrade your village, you must first build the village square. You'll interact with this device whenever it's time to upgrade.

If this is your first time starting a world, you have to first do three things to get the blueprint for the village square:

1. Build a campfire
2. Build your crafting bench
3. Build your first shack

Then, open your build menu, and the recipe is under Utilities → Village. This will cost you 12 wood to build.

Once you place the village square, it will prompt you to choose your village's icon, color, and name. Don't worry about making the wrong choice, because you can always go back and change it in your village menu.

Building structures on slopes and valleys can be difficult, so we recommend placing your village square in a level area.

How To Upgrade Your Village

No matter which biome you're building in, your village will start at level one once you place the village square. As you continue building and adding decorations to your village, you'll increase your village's comfort level, which is one of the requirements for upgrading.

Each level comes with its own requirements and rewards. Rewards such as new recipes, villager slots, animal slots, and perks.

When it's time to upgrade your village, simply interact with the village square.

There are three tabs in the Village Menu for you to manage your village from:

• Hub Tab
• Residents Tab
• Rewards Tab

Hub Tab

The Hub Tab is what you'll see first when you open the Village Menu. The top banner will show you your village name, biome, and current level. The left column shows you who is visiting, the number of residents you have and can have (including animals), and currently assigned jobs.

The main section of the Hub tab shows you the requirements for the next level upgrade and if you have the requirements met.

On the bottom of the Hub Tab you have a few options as well:

• Remove Village
• Edit Village Details (name and badge)
• Upgrade Village (which is grayed out till requirements are met)
• Close tab

Residents Tab

The Residents Tab shows you all of your current residents, including any animals you have.

It also gives you a brief description of each villager, as well as what their current job is. You can also use this section to ask a villager to leave.

Rewards Tab

On this tab you can see what rewards you received for levels already completed, as well as future levels.

Before you start inviting villagers, you'll need to build a bed for them, or they won't be able to move in.

Let's go over the requirements for each level in the different biomes, the different types of villages you can build, and what rewards you will unlock each time you upgrade.

Storm Survivor Camp: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

With the arrival of the Storm King, a new starter village has arrived: Storm Survivor Camp. When you create a new Survival or Creative World, you'll spawn in this camp.

As with other themed villages, the camp will begin at level one as soon as you arrive. As you upgrade this starter village, you'll learn how to do things like gather wood, track recipes, craft tools, and more. By the time you complete the village, you'll be ready to go out on your own!

Once you've fully upgraded the Storm Survivor Camp, you can either move on to the Storm Chaser Base Camp, or set out on your own and start a new Village!

The Grasslands: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

The Grasslands may be filled with bears, wolves, and other monsters, but it is still considered the beginner biome. While you will face some dangers, they will be few compared to the other biomes, and starting your first village here is easy. Additionally, you won't have any trouble finding food and resources here.

For more information about food and resources you can find for your village, check out our complete guide to building your base in each biome.

The village upgrade requirements for each biome are the same no matter if you're playing Cozy, Survival, Sandbox, or Expert mode.

Dry Valley: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

The Dry Valley biome is the desert region in Lego Fortnite. It offers resources such as Flexwood, Amber, Peppers, and much more.

Before heading out here to build a new village, you will need to know how to best survive the heat. Once you have heat control under way, here's how to upgrade your village.

The Frostlands: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

Before venturing into the snowy realm of the Frostlands, you will need some precautions in place. Not only do you need to be able to survive the cold, but the monsters and beasts of the Frostlands are a lot tougher than in the other biomes.

Make sure you have at least a Rare quality sword and shield, as well as charms to increase your health and armor. Otherwise, going out here is going to be a very short trip.

Rebel Outpost: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

Building a Rebel Outpost came with the Star Wars update. To start this endeavor, you need to speak with Captain Bavara, who should spawn near you shortly after the ship crash event in your world.

Currently, you'll only be able to build and upgrade one Rebel Outpost. Residents are added for you as you meet certain upgrade requirements, but you are able to add any three animals you want.

The first few level upgrades should be easy if you haven't advanced that far in the game, but levels seven and up will become increasingly difficult until you are able to improve your health and armor.

*In the game for level six it says to clear a site for the stable, but that's a typo. We already did the stable when upgrading to level four. This time you're clearing the site to build the Rebel Workshop for Myrna.

Lost Isles: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

Lost Isles is a biome that you can travel to using the Battle Bus Stops. Take the bus and choose one of the Lost Isles special bus stop icons on the map. You'll arrive in a world of Klombos, beautiful fauna, and more!

Here there are no pre-built villages for you to upgrade, but you can build your own Village in the Lost Isles. Village upgrades here are a little different than in other biomes, so be sure to pay attention to what is needed for each level.

Storm Chaser Base Camp: Upgrade Requirements And Rewards

If you want to continue with the Storm Chasers storyline, after completing the Storm Survivor Camp, head over to the Storm Chaser Base Camp. The icon, which looks like a blue Triangle with a lightning bolt, is on your map and isn't too far from where you spawned in the game.

Once there, speak to Carl Ruckus. He'll tell you they need your help to build up the base and defeat the Storm King.

If this is your first time in Lego Fortnite Odyssey, or you just started a new Survival World, the Storm Chaser Base Camp will likely be a little advanced for you. We recommend building your first full Village in The Grasslands before trying the Storm Chaser Base Camp.
