[Narrator] The biggest draw to Fortnite is the ability
to build to keep you alive for longer in fights.
But some people take cover in defense
and throw them out the window
instead choosing to build giant and crazy structures
that you probably never would believe
unless you saw it yourself.
Hey guys, Arcade Cloud here.

Number 10, the castle.
One of the most defensive structures to ever be built
in the history of mankind is of course a castle.
Usually castles were build on hills
and surrounded by wide moats
with large towers for archers to stand at
and fire volleys of arrows down at their enemies.
The defensive properties of a castle don't really
translate very well to the world of Fortnite Battle Royale.
The basic principles are the same and in theory
they work pretty well, but the time and resources
spent to build one just straight up outclasses
the defensive benefits.
Usually you're just better off throwing down
a single tower for height advantage or letting
a Port-a-Fortnade loose if you have one.
But those drawbacks didn't stop MM7 games
from building a pretty awesome castle anyway.
It has everything you could expect from a castle,
well except for the moat.
There were 4 strategically placed sniper towers
in a wide open area in the castle to retreat too.
Other than the height of the castle itself,
it was pretty much the perfect defensive build.
The defensive strengths of the castle
were only further highlighted when they actually
went on to win the entire game.
Number 9, the tallest ever base.
Towers.
Towers are pretty much the first structure
that everyone learns to build in Fortnite Battle Royale.
Just a simple upward tower, why would that
be on a list of the craziest bases built in Fortnite?
Because Muselk was part of the team
that literally built the biggest and tallest
tower known to Fortnite.
They started in tilted towers
because I mean if you're already gonna build
a really tall tower, why not have it in a place
where there's lots of really tall towers already.
They use the big tower at the center of tilted
as their base and then they just started building
upward from there, creating one spiral staircase
in the middle and then enclosing that in protective
metal and stone as they went upwards.
Eventually of course they reach the build limit
of the game, the point where it stopped them
from being able to go up higher.
By this point the zone was moving in
and they were under heavy fire from enemies
and the very top of the tower even got shot off.
But for one moment they had the biggest tower
in the history of Fortnite and it looked pretty awesome.
Number 8, game crashing pyramid.
Some builds are just so epic
that the game can't even handle them.
And that's exactly what happened when Enevoldsen
and his friends decided to build
the worlds biggest Fortnite base ever made.
A giant pyramid that managed to crash the game.
After many attempts and many false starts
where people tried to kill them or the zone came in
and killed them, it was finally almost completed.
A massive structure in the center of Wailing Woods
that the game simply couldn't handle.
After constructing as much of the 20 by 20 pyramid
as they could, the game
couldn't handle it anymore and completely crashed,
stopping the guys who built it from moving anymore.
This build was just too big
and even though it wasn't completely finished,
the game just couldn't handle it.
Number 7, a pirate ship.
If you look at Loot Lake, what's the one thing
that's obviously missing?
If you thought a giant pirate ship,
then you probably were listening
to the last few seconds of audio.
I did say it was going to be a pirate ship.
There are plenty of little boats in the Loot Lake,
but none of them are that big really.
And I guess Vikkstar and his team
wanted to fix that issue.
It took a few attempts but eventually
they managed to create a giant ship in the
center of Loot Lake with multiple levels
and even a mast in the center of the top of the deck.
It seems pretty crazy to think that building such a massive
and obvious structure in the middle of Loot Lake
could ever lead to a win, and to be honest,
it doesn't for them.
But they did manage to make it into the top 10
last people and in a squads game that means
they were basically only like 2 other teams alive.
So for spending so much of their time
making something so crazy,
they still managed to pull out
a pretty respectable position.
Number 6, AT-AT Walker
There are pretty much 2 major movie franchises out there
at the moment that almost everyone loves.
Marvel, and Star Wars.
Marvel has already had some pretty good
representation in Fortnite Battle Royale.
I mean look at that awesome new limited time mode
where you could literally just turn into Thanos
and run around blasting people with the Infinity Gauntlet.
Star Wars hasn't had any representation in Fortnite
except for when it comes to the fans.
The legendary Fortnite builder Seven has completed
many crazy builds since Fortnite released
and one of them was literally
an AT-AT Walker from Star Wars.
Sure it kind of looked blocky, but that's just because
of how the building tools in Fortnite work.
Really, the AT-AT was a work of art
and it looked both massive and amazing.
Number 5, Harry Potter Quidditch Pitch.
It's not just Star Wars that Seven has gotten
involved with recreating in Fortnite Battle Royale.
In a more recent build, Seven and his team
decided to recreate the iconic Quidditch Pitch
from the book and movie series, Harry Potter.
For those that don't know, which
I don't know how you couldn't,
Quidditch was the sport in Harry Potter
where two teams of wizards would fly around
on brooms trying to score points
by throwing some balls through hoops.
Kind of like flying basketball, I guess.
While all that's going on, a couple of other wizards
would be looking for a smaller, faster flying ball
called the Golden Snitch.
By the end of the build, the Quidditch Pitch
that Seven and his team managed to construct,
looked scarily like the Quidditch pitch from the movies.
From the hoop stands down to the place
where you would sit to watch the game.
Oh and they even managed to win the game at the end.
Sounds like magic to me.
Number 4, biggest plane.
Seven isn't just limited to movies
or pop culture references though,
this legendary Fortnite builder likes to remake things
from the real world too.
In this clip, Seven and his team decided to create
the biggest plane in Fortnite Battle Royale.
It took them hours of attempts to build,
they always drop down into Wailing Woods
to get the crazy amount of materials they needed.
And most of the time,
they got killed by other players or taken out by the Zone.
But eventually the stars aligned
and they managed to pull off the impossible.
By the end, they had a giant plane complete with
wings and a cockpit, soaring majestically
above the tops of the trees in Wailing Woods.
And once again as Seven so often does in these challenges,
he managed to come out on top as the winner of the game.
Number 3, triangles only.
There's a lot of underused building mechanics
in Fortnite, and one of them is probably a triangular wall.
As you all know there's a pyramid block in the game
and if you edit the block, it basically turns into
a slanted triangle.
Well, Muselk wanted to build an entire base
purely out of these blocks.
They built a gigantic tower of triangles
that basically ended up looking
like a giant maze in the sky.
What's kinda crazy, is that this style of base
kind of makes logical sense from a building
and tactics standpoint.
There's a lot of connecting points of the base
which meanss it's basically impossible to knock down
and destroy, and because the blocks
are strangely shaped, they're also stranger
to hit than usual.
All I have to wonder is what the other guy
in the game thought was happening.
Number 2, the Port-a-Fort tower.
When Port-a-Fort's where first ended in the game
in April, we were all pretty worried about
them being way too strong.
It turns out they're only seriously strong
if you have a lot of them at once.
And again that Muselk probably intended to just
be playing a normal and average game,
he ended up finding a whole bunch of Port-a-Fort grenades.
Most people decide to use these Port-a-Fort's
in a pretty logical and let's admit it,
pretty boring way.
Using one and then saving the others for later.
Instead, Muselk decides to take Port-A-Forting
to the next level and he made a tower of the things.
At first it only looked like Muselk was going to
be able to pull off the double Port-a-Fort base
which while cool, isn't exactly crazy.
But then it happened, he found a third Port-a-Fort grenade
and was able to ascend up to a third and even higher point.
Until someone manages to stack 4 Port-a-Fort's at once,
this Port-a-Fort tower is pretty top tier.
Number 1, saving Dusty Depot.
Can we just have a moment of silence for a second?
At the end of season 3, something terrible happened.
A meteor came streaking down from the sky
and obliterated the area we all knew as Dusty Depot.
While, yes, a new and interesting area was left behind
in the form of Dusty Divot, it changed the face
of the map forever, scarring it with a massive hole.
Some people were not content in letting that area
be crushed by the flaming rock from the stars,
and instead wrapped it in a protected pyramid,
covering the entire area from top to bottom in materials.
SRK and his team jumped into a game of 50 v 50
to complete their crazy task.
But the craziest part of all
is the fact that people on the enemy teams
saw what was happening and actually helped them
to save the area instead of fighting them.
Teaming like this is risky
considering how strict Epic games is on banning people
for teaming, but it was worth it to attempt
to save a now forgotten part of a map.
And there you have it, our list of the
top 10 craziest bases built in Fortnite.
