Fortnite Battle Royale - Gathering Stones

Among the three resources in Fortnite Battle Royale, one is the stone. It is tougher than wood but slower as well.

But, you can use it for different purposes. To know all about the stones, take a look at the guide below:
What Gives the Most Stones?
The primary source of stones that gives most of the stones is unequivocally the rocks that are spread across the map in Fortnite Battle Royale. You will not get many rocks if you go for the walls.

But with these rocks, you can get even 40+ rocks with one hit. This is the main reason that most of the players go for rocks and you should go for them as well. Not only will you get more stones per hit, but you will also have the resources early so you can build your base whenever you want in the game.

Collect Stone Fast:
When it comes to collecting the stone, you can literally collect at the speed of 2x. This is true and a lot of players do that. It is not a hack as this feature is present in the game. What you need to do is when you hit a rock, you will see a blue circle near the place you hit. That circle is called a critical point. What you need to do is to hit that critical point and it will double the amount of material you are getting from that structure. It is a really effective way to collect the material faster. So now by hitting rocks and hitting the critical point on them, you will be getting more rocks and at a faster speed.

Use for Temporary Base:
You may be confused as to why the bases made from stone should be used for the temporary base? The thing is that you cannot make these bases while you are in combat, well you can build them during combat but the effective way is to use wood. Also, if you are going for the permanent base in the final circle, then if you have time, go for the metal as it is stronger. Then when should you use the stone? This is the reason that it should be used for your temporary base. As you will have a base that is stronger than wood, and is made quicker than metal. You will also not be depleting your wood and metal resources as you may need both of them for combat and endgame base. So it is best to use a stone if you are building a temporary base during the game just to get some shelter or to get some kills.

These are some of the things that you need to keep in mind when you are going for the stones. Make sure to harvest rocks, hit the critical point and use the stone for temporary bases. This will help you a lot in the game.
