Repair and Upgrade on the Go

To accommodate these new control requirements, we’ve made a change to how Repairing and Upgrading is executed.

The Blasted Badlands Venture season is back in v21.10, complete with the Rage Meter modifier, Venture Level rewards, and returning Venture Challenge Quests.

Scurvy Shoals returns with a new modifier on April 5 (8 PM ET)

The Scurvy Shoals is back, along with the treasure filled Pirate Llamas! This high sea venture is going to feel a little different this time around, as it will introduce a new modifier and bring back a returning one.

Bouncy Husk

Things will get quite turbulent with the new Bouncy Husks modifier! With this modifier, Husks, Huskies, and Mist Monsters all have increased health, but they are more susceptible to knockbacks, especially from ranged and melee weapons. Send those Husks back into the Storm that they came from!

Super Treasure

Time to start looting like a real pirate! With the Super Treasure modifier, treasure chest filled with valuable loot will periodically drop after defeating enemies. Keep in mind Commanders; the tougher the enemy you defeat, the more likely a chest will drop from it. Great... Read more

These exclusive Save the World challenges will earn you 1,500 V-Bucks.

From the Mecha Pop-Pack onwards, Starter Packs that include S... Read more

With the release of update v20.00, we are making a significant shift to the items available for purchase in Save the World. Save the World will no longer sell Llamas (Upgrade, People, Hero, etc), gameplay-affecting items, or items that accelerate your progression through the game for V-Bucks or real-world currency. These changes bring Save the World into closer alignment with Battle Royale, where cosmetics do not give any competitive advantage over players who choose not to pay.

What’s changing exactly?

• Starter packs that include Save the World access will no longer include a Hero or any X-Ray Tickets. They will still include cosmetic items (Outfit, Back Bling, and Pickaxe), and their challenges will grant an additional 500 V-Bucks (for 1500 total).
  • The Mecha-Pop Pack will be the first one to use this new format.
• Llamas will no longer be purchased with V-Bucks. They will still be available, but will be acquired with X-Ray Tickets earned in-game from Mission Alerts, Daily ...

  Attention Commanders,
 
We have quite the wild Status Report for you today, so let's hop right in. Homebase Status Report - Initiate! 
 

Wildlife has torn its way into Save the World, and take on the new Brawl of the Wild Questline

Good news! The Wildlife of the land has begun to adapt to The Storm's forces and are now re-emerging into the environment. The flip side of this good news though… Some of the local Wildlife aren’t very friendly- yet. Confronting these beasts is very dangerous, but learning how to work with them may be the key to fighting back against The Storm. Use bait to make friends with the Wildlife, or take the more defensive approach.. And by that I mean  hide in the shadows while they pick their own fights with the Husks. Either way, the day is ours! Creature Taming 101: In order to tame an aggressive creature, throw a consumable like meat, corn, or mushrooms near it; while they are too distracted by the bait to focus on attacking you, go up and interact with...

Greetings Commanders,
As some of you may have already noticed, the Save the World playlist has made its new home in the Discover menu! To find the newly relocated Save the World playlist, select the 'Change' button in the Fortnite main lobby and navigate to the 'By Epic' row or your 'Recently Played'. It can also be found in your ‘Favorites’ row if you chose to add it there. Now that Save the World has joined the rest of Fortnite in Discover, the Game Mode Select Screen has been removed. Along with its move to Discover, Save the World is now playable in Performance Mode! Performance mode allows Fortnite to run better than ever before and maintain a smoother frame rate, even on less powerful hardware. Read about Performance Mode to learn more. Direct X 11 is still the most reliable and recommended mode.
  Save the World is now playable in performance mode! One more thing before we formally kick off this Status Report. Many Commanders have enjoyed the original Save the World Lobby Tr... Read more
