- — In-Game Description
Research was a Gameplay Mechanic in Fortnite: Save the World that was introduced in Update v6.30. It allowed players to use 
Research Points to upgrade their F.O.R.T. stats. This was removed in Update v39.00, being superseded by Commander Levels upgrading F.O.R.T. stats.
Usage[]
By spending Research Points, players would gain increased F.O.R.T. stats: F.O.R.T. is an acronym for the four basic statistics in FORTNITE. Players can add onto these bonuses with Survivor Squads. Increasing survivor stats will increase the overall Homebase Power and assist the player's ability to complete Missions. Players could upgrade their F.O.R.T stats with Research Points that would be automatically generated overtime in the Command tab.
- Fortitude - Increase health and regen rate.
- Max Health boosts by 600%. (+200% Party)
- Offense - Increase ranged and melee weapon damage.
- Max Weapon Damage boosting by 600%. (+200% Party)
- Resistance - Increases shield and shield regen.
- Max Shield and Shield Regeneration Rate boosting by 600%. (+200% Party)
- Tech - Increases trap damage, ability damage, gadget damage, and healing done.
- Max Ability Damage, Trap Damage, and Healing Rate boosting by 600%. (+200% Party)
To achieve the maximum power level it is best to level your FORT stats equally, but ensuring you always level each skill per 10. This way you can utilize the bonus FORT stats.
Note: These stats can be manually reset if wished to do so.
