Fortnite (UP)

Spend a match using an Outlander to farm materials, then switch to a Constructor for subsequent matches to build the structures. Constructors have the 'Creative Engineering' perk that reduces build cost for a Level 1 structure from 10 materials to 9 materials. If you couple this with a Constructor that has the 'Pre-Planning' squad bonus in your squad's Support slot (Hotfixer Hazard or Catstructor Penny), this will further be reduced to only 7 materials required per structure if they are evolved to 3-stars or higher.

If you're lucky enough to find a Storm Bonus of 'Building Constructors' during an Event, it only requires 3 materials per structure. If you had 5000 materials of each Wood, Stone, and Metal, you could build 5000 structures before having to farm materials again.

If you have a constructor with the 'Recycling' perk, you could throw down a B.A.S.E. that covers at least three structures each of all three material types and it will auto-generate materials for you while you are throwing down floors. Just return to the B.A.S.E. occasionally and collect the materials before the cap is reached.

Structures built by other players during a match count toward the achievement as well, so find a team of 4 constructors and try to find out how many structures you can build before the game crashes.

At some point you will have to deliberately work on this achievement because it is unlikely you will have achieved it naturally by the time you get to Twine Peaks Storm Shield Defense 6. I'm currently in Twine Peaks with around 1000 matches complete and only 115,000 structures built. Many of those matches are non-defense missions like Survivors or Encampments, but even if you played all objective defense missions it will take many, many matches and will likely be the last achievement earned.

Look at Tenreth comment. He wrote also a good Solo way.


With v8.00 (Season 8) you have (currently) no chance to lower they building cost by your heroes...
However, the building construture mutation is still in. Then each building cost 6 instead of 10.

SOLUTION:

On this site https://stormshield.one/pve (short sso) you can see your progress into all non story achievements (gnomes, chests...)

This method is for 2-4 players since structures counts for ALL, means if your friend build a piece it counts for you.


LOADOUT:

Hero: Any Constructor
Support slot: any constructor with the perk "Pre Planning" (reduces build cost by 10%, your Hero need to be lvl21)
Heroes who has it: hotfixer hazard (non event) catstructure/demolitionist penny, demolitionist bull, 8-bit demo (event)
Tactical slot: trailblazer jess (xbox standard outlander), gives +10% movement speed while on player-built floors.
With v8.00 this perk isnt in the game anymore. If something changes I will update it.


What mutation you need:

Now, your best mission is a mission with "BUILDING CONSTRUCTURE"* Storm Mutation, you can go to "sso" and go to "Mission Search" then down to "Storm Mutations" there you can select what mutation in which mission is and how long it will be available.

*Building contsructure means if you have a constructure and in your support slot someone who has "Pre Planning" your structures cost ONLY 3 NOW 4 materials instead of 10.
(Currently) unavailable

MISSION:

I think the best is RESCUE THE SURVIVORS since Survivors are the most you need,.
Why? you dont need to defend. Survivors: rescue all... or most, if there are bugged... and then build or/and while you are searching for them, you can easy spend 5k in 8min. You will mostly get 13-15 survivors if your team is good.


BUILDING METHOD / VIDEO:

Best method after you saved most/ all of the survivors build some stairs up and then build the 3 floors in front of you forward until you reach the end of the map and do it backwards and so on...**



Example how the map can look like at the end. :P




GENERAL TIPS:***

- Use 2blu-glo for the speed-pylon to get much faster
- Use the suply drop gadget to get some materials back
- Have never 5k from the same material at one point since then you dont lose any reward/suply drop materials
- RESTART the game before/after EACH mission to prevent crashes

NOTE:

I did most with a group of 3. I had a Xbox One from 2014, one had a Xbox One S and the last one a Xbox One X. My game crashed the most time... be aware of that but dont worry, everything you/ your team build COUNTS.


MATH:

Everyone spend 5-8k materials, we could do more but it was most of the times to laggy or Fortnite crashed...

3players: you get between 5k-8k structures per game. Means 15k-24k a hour= 21h-34h for 500k.
2players: you get between 3k-6k structures per game. Means 9k-18k a hour= 28h-56h for 500k.

I played only >5 games of 4 players because when each only spend 5k my game crashed so I would not recommened it.



Its my first solution without a video guide, hopefully I could everything explain well since my english is not the best ^^
Thx for reading and if I can something do to improve the solution, pls write a comment.
Good luck with 100%!


**Thanks to Prince Jame5 to mentioned the building method. I just thought it was to simple to add. :D
I appreciate it!

***Thanks to keung to mentioned the general tips. I forgot it :p
I appreciate it!

With the release of Wargames this achievement has became easier, but still extremely grindy. You can now basically have unlimited materials, you still need to place the 500,000 structures which takes a lot of time though.

Basically you need to go to your homebase at any location, preferably with max materials, and then go away from your builds, ramp into the sky, then place floors and pyramids/roofs above and below you, just build away waste all your materials. After that go down to the ground, you can just jump off then revive yourself it's fine, then break the ramp that you made initially and all the builds will break and you will get your materials back.

For the game to count you have to successfully complete a wargames. Some of them are very difficult and some of them can be done completely AFK solo. I will post a guide below from reddit that shows you how to setup a solo AFK wargames base, it will require a fair amount of heroes (specific heroes) and materials to make though.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/bqx6w7/wargames_g...

These lobbies can be done with 4 people and obviously the achievement can be achieved much faster that way. I will be running some lobbies over the next few weeks, feel free to add me.

Do not worry so much about this achievement right away. I'm mid Canny and currently at 80k+ structures built.

https://stormshield.one/pve is a great site to track your progress made(Also tracks things like zones explored/play with others/mist monsters slain, etc). You must have your xbox account linked with your EPIC account. A simple "How to link xbox and EPIC games account" Google search should be more than enough to help you.

What I am currently doing is just scratching away at this achievement slowly in a missions downtime(Like after saving at least 6 survivors in rescue the survivors or building 3 towers in a radar mission). Help with the missions don't be a leech! After if you have time(Like radar/encampment/survivor missions) or while you're waiting for people to be ready just go around and gather/throw up random structures/sky bridges(wood is by far the easiest to gather/build).

With the recent patch the weapon proficiency perks have been replaced with +1000 material storage(Wood/stone/metal) allowing for a maximum storage of 5000 of each materials.

If you are strictly going for this achievement I'd recommend using an outlander for sure(preferably eagle eye) and play grassland/forest missions(They have great amounts of wood/stone). Do note that missions without time limits actually have time limits(Like fight the storm(If you don't complete it within a certain limit Ray will eventually pull you out)), so I'd recommend something like Save the survivors/encampments. You will have roughly 10-14 minutes depending on how well you play to gather/build.

It's really that simple : Use an outlander to break stuff faster, place structures as you go.

Hello, I recently discovered a technique that I share today.

It will be necessary to finish the 10 defenses of the shield to be able to unlock the endurance.

so you start a defense part of the shield alone, once on the map you build a stairway high enough so placed the max of platform without touching elements of the scenery, once your 1500 platforms build with the three different materials, you You can either destroy the staircase to recover all the materials and repeat the operation which will make you progress in the success; endurance, pass the first wave and then you leave in the group in the computer shield which will not count as a failure so your progress and saved your platform. I even think that it can work for the games played with several but I have no friend to test .Waiting that the wave be finished to leave, I calculated in 2 hours we can ask 12 000 platforms if we're going fast. I am french I used a translator for you shared it I hope that it will be understandable and that it will help you


Version française

Bonjour, j'ai découvert récemment une technique que je vous partage aujourd'hui.

Il va falloir finir les 10 défenses du bouclier pour pouvoir débloquer l'endurance.

donc vous lancez une partie de défense du bouclier seul, une fois sur la map vous construisez un escalier assez haut de manière a placé le max de plateforme sans touchée des éléments du décor, une fois vos 1500 plateformes construire avec les trois matériaux diffèrent, vous pouvez soit détruire l'escalier pour récupérer la totalité des matériaux et recommencez l'opération ce qui va vous faire progresser dans le succès; soit lancée l'endurance, passée la 1er vague puis vous fait quitter en groupe dans l'ordinateur du bouclier ce qui ne va pas compter comme un échec donc votre progressons et sauvegardait votre plateforme posée . Je pense même que ça peut fonctionner pour les parties jouées à plusieurs mais je n'ai pas d'ami pour tester .Attendais bien que la vague une sois fini pour quitter, j'ai calculé en 2 heures on peut poser 12 000 plateformes si on va vite . Je suis français j'ai utilisé un traducteur pour vous le partagé j'espère que sa serra compréhensible et que ça vous aidera

If you or a party member who is also going to for the achievement has easy storm shields left to do (like canny, plankerton or even stone Wood), you can use the new instant demolition to effectively reuse resources.

Basically if you go into a storm shield and build an elevated platform connected to the ground by a single ramp (before starting the storm shield!), you can one hit the ramp and get a refund on all the rss that you used up and can rebuild again and again. Structures that have been placed and destroyed still count towards the achievement.
Only catch is that for the structures to count towards the achievement is that the storm shield mission has to be started and successfully completed just like any other mission, hence why plankerton 6-10 would be good, a walk in the park for a party of four in twine for example.

Tested this in a friends storm shield, with both of us building with 15k rss each, instant demolition worked for both of us and got 6k structures counted after completing the storm shield

To get an achievement Talented Builder

Built 500,000 Structures in successful missions

Of course, you can cost various buildings in missions. When defending the shield, you can also build (passage of the plot). But this is all very little. Like a drop of water in the ocean.

There is a way working, but also not fast of course.

We go into the defense of the shield of any area (strength test) and just start building buildings, but so that they are in the air. We start with a one block staircase (this will be the base) and then we start building the floor. We build two rows at once so that there are more. We build up to the maximum allowed buildings or until we get bored. Then we break one building (a ladder in one block) on which everything rests and all resources are returned to you. Let me repeat the whole process again. In order for the buildings to be counted, it is necessary to survive one wave in the shield. As soon as the second one starts, you can immediately leave your shield and go to the menu.
