— In-Game Description

B.A.S.E. (Blu-Glonium Actuated Structural Enhancer) is a Constructor Class Perk in Fortnite: Save the World.

Functionality

B.A.S.E. can be accessed in Build Mode as any Constructor by selecting Floor Traps. It can only be placed on unedited and unoccupied Floors much like regular Floor Traps.

When a B.A.S.E. is placed the device will strengthen all nearby structures' Armor by 60 in a 4 tile radius, which is indicated by yellow hydraulic segments latched onto the corners of a building piece and connected together via a blue field.

When a B.A.S.E. is destroyed or moved all previously reinforced structures will revert back to normal.

Team Perks Interacting With B.A.S.E.

• BOOM B.A.S.E. (Steel Wool Syd)
• Supercharged Traps (MEGA B.A.S.E. Kyle)

Notes

• B.A.S.E. takes Priority on the Floor Trap selection-wheel (i.e. at the top center) when placing floor traps.
  • Unfortunately, Fortnite's history of patches and updates periodically introduces (and re-introduces) a game-breaking bug where B.A.S.E. is given LOWEST priority; thereby preventing the deployment of the B.A.S.E..
    • Game Developers' suggested workarounds are:
      1. Easiest and best solution is to always maintain less then 8 Stacks of Floor Traps.
      2. Switch the trap icon next to pyramids until it lands on B.A.S.E.
      3. Try to place a Floor Trap on an edited floor to get it to show up.
