re: Fortnite Battle Royale Out For Free (PS4, XB1, PC)

You'd think the story "The Three Little Pigs" would tell you all you need to know between the difference of wood and brick. If I am building ramps to go up mountains then I use wood or if I try to spam build. If I'm building up then I tend to use brick and metal

i hear metal is just as bad as wood. very rarely do i use metal.

I hardly use metal other than going up mountains or a 1x1 I plan on camping in while I go pee or something. I use brick or wood most of the time.

There are three types of materials which can then be used to build, with each type of material having its own separate build time and health:
?
Wood: five-second build time per panel, starting health at 100, has 200 health

Stone: 12-second build time per panel, starting health at 90, has 300 health

Metal: 20-second build time per panel, starting health at 80, has 400 health

Destroying things like brick walls, trees, rocks and cars will get you the respective material. You can also find them wherever you find loot - such as out in the open or in chests. The fastest way to accumulate loot in a match is by killing other players, allowing you to collect their materials when you run over their dropped items.
It's a good idea to learn what materials work best in different situations and build to your advantage. For example, wooden structures are the quickest to construct but are the weakest against enemy fire so it wouldn't be wise to use it over a stronger material when you're in a final circle, and using metal during the early stages of a match when you're constantly shifting due to circle shrinkage would just be a waste.
Be careful, though, as the longer the build time, the bigger the window for opponents to shoot down your panels so if you're engaged in a small one-on-one battle, we recommend that you use wood to build a small defense system as it's quicker to replace.
Use stone and metal to build a larger fort during the later stages of the game so you've got somewhere that's more reinforced to camp out in, plus being higher up increases your chance of landing deadly headshots. Just remember to reinforce the base of any high towers you build as opponents will often try and topple your structure from the bottom up

I didn't click the link but that website is outdated. Most will be, Epic makes changes to the game weekly.

Off the top of my head wood and brick both start at 80 now. Brick also builds faster per second. It is better in every way than wood now.

Changes to building materials.

Wood wall starting health to 80 from 100.
Stone wall starting health to 80 from 90.
Wood wall max health to 150 from 200.
Metal wall max health to 500 from 400.
Metal build time to 25s from 20s.

This was from 2 patches ago so it is now like this.

Wood: 80 to 150. 14 per sec.
Stone: 80 to 300. 18.3 per sec.
Metal: 80 to 500. 16.8 per sec.


Wood is trash but easiest to find.
