We’ll explain how to upgrade your village so you can gather more NPCs, unlock new bonuses, and build the town of your dreams. If you need some help with growing your village, then check out our guide on how to recruit villagers in LEGO Fortnite.

To upgrade your village, you first need to fill the bar in the top right corner of your screen. This bar will slowly be filled as you build new structures, add new villagers, and generally add to your village in any beneficial way. Once that’s full up, you’ll be ready to upgrade.

Go over to your Village Square and open the status menu, on the upgrade tab, you’ll see what materials you need to spend to complete the upgrade. For example, the first upgrade requires 15 wood and 15 granite. Once you have what you need, spend it and your village will be immediately upgraded – you can see what new rewards you’ve unlocked by checking the Village Square.
