LEGO Fortnite: All Storm Chaser village upgrades and rewards

You'll need to reach the heart of the storm to max out your village level.

LEGO Fortnite’s Storm Chaser update comes with a new village, boss, and rewards to make your character more powerful than ever. However, we all have to start somewhere, and when you first find the Storm Chaser village, you’ll need to improve its defenses against the Storm Acolytes before moving further.

Let’s check out the complete list of Storm Chaser village upgrades, material requirements, and rewards in LEGO Fortnite.

How to find the Storm Chaser village in LEGO Fortnite

You can find the Storm Chaser village by loading into your LEGO Fortnite world, talking to Kayden after he spawns near you, and traveling to the blue-purple marker that he places on your map. Every world seed has its own randomized spawn location, so this marker is the only way to find the village quickly.

Upon arriving at the village, you’ll find a base camp surrounded by wood walls and the village square in one of the corners. Let’s check out the village upgrades in more detail.
