The Rebuild The Block quests in Fortnite offer players exclusive cosmetics and a vote for community-created buildings for the official island map.
With the introduction of the new Rebuild The Block in-game event, Fortnite’s Tilted Towers is getting a community-created revamp, with a set of new challenges tasking players to donate their hard-earned gold bars towards funding the construction of brand-new buildings. Rebuild The Block features three new multi-stage quests, with players receiving experience points and exclusive new cosmetic items for completing these new challenges. While new events are also running at the moment, including Fortnite’s new No Sweat Summer event, players who participate in Rebuild The Block now have the chance to contribute to the game by voting from a selection of new community-designed buildings to be built at Tilted Towers on the official Fortnite island map.
As with most of Fortnite’s challenges and events, Rebuild The Block’s quests reward the player with experience points for their battle passes, as well as offer limited-time cosmetic items to encourage players to really get involved. Each of the three quests in Rebuild The Block features five stages, with players receiving cosmetic items for completing a certain number of stages. Over time, one of these challenges will change, asking players to donate gold bars towards voting for a new restaurant (ends July 27th), an apartment block (July 27th– August 3rd), and a shop (August 3rd – August 9th).
Fortnite’s crossovers with other media franchises including Star Wars, Marvel, and Indiana Jones have been hugely popular, but it’s great to see the game’s developers also embracing community-created content and bringing it into the official game. Aside from that, the XP and new cosmetics also makes completing the Rebuild The Block challenges well worth it.
Rebuild The Block features three challenges which have five stages each, awarding the player with 14,000XP each time. A total of 210,000XP is therefore up for grabs, allowing the player to level up their Fortnite battle pass twice. These three challenges ask the player to:
Unlike some of Fortnite’s more unusual challenges, the player will end up completing some of the Rebuild The Block quest stages just by playing the game. It’s worth noting that these challenges don’t stack; the count for each challenge resets to zero with each new stage. As such, the player will have to donate a total of 4500 (900 x 5) gold bars to vote for construction projects. This can be done by travelling to Tilted Towers, finding the special construction noticeboard, and donating bars to vote for three community-designed buildings. The player can also collect cosmetics for completing challenge stages:
Tilted Towers is still a popular landing spot despite still being under construction, so players should make sure to grab weapons and equipment such as Fortnite’s new Port-A-Fort when they land. Players can always donate bars towards more than one building design if they feel like it, and if they find themselves a little short of gold bars, they can always collect more by eliminating nearby opponents. Thanks to Epic, players can also check out all the building design finalists online without having to risk getting stuck in a firefight at Tilted Towers.
Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Android.
