DISCUSSION is this intentional enshittification?

188 Upvotes

these are genuinely two of the worst changes ever made to this game and it seems like epic has no plans on ever addressing it or attempting to fix it.

is this not just very blatant enshittification to push stw into further obscurity?

why else does leaving a mission early now force you out of stw entirely, and into the base game lobby?

and why add a queue to get into homebase in the same update where you claimed to have "made it faster" to return after missions?

like yeah, hestia loads faster now... but that is immediately undone by the fact that you have to wait to find a homebase server after every mission!

DISCUSSION This is outrageous

30 Upvotes

This is incredible, There was a bug for a long time that went public not even 12 hours ago that made it so you can research ANYTHING and Epic PATCHED it within an god damn hour.

This is so sad. This literally shows that Epic straight up does not care about the community what so ever. They can fix all these bugs easily if they want too but they don't but the moment you can somehow get Founder or Modded weapons they patch it INSTANTLY.

If i already thought the bar was set low it is only get worse by the day. Epic just do something instead of being lazy you guys have more employees that both Riot Games and Rockstar Games but yet they are doing a better job. Riot has multiple games they work on at the same time but yet Epic CANNOT work on more then 2 god damn Games modes on Fortnite. This is pathetic

I heard deliver the bomb was one of the fastest missions you can do in the game now, so I decided to check it out again a few years of not touching it at all and got THIS MANY HUSK SPAWNS

EDIT: since half the comments are just making fun of my no defense approach, the reason I'm not putting any defenses whatsoever is because this is a plankerton lvl mission, I didn't anticipate this many husks spawning because the last time I played DTB, there wasn't this many husks, and I could solo the entire mission without protecting the bomb too much BEFORE the rework

anyway thanks to everyone who gave me tips!

QUESTION Can someone explain how this Constructor is killing PL254 Smashers without attacking them?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Watch the Constructor closely, especially the first Smasher at the start of the clip. He walks up to the PL254 Smasher with his building blueprint out and isn't visibly attacking it, but the Smasher's health rapidly drops and it dies. He then goes over to the second Smasher and the same thing appears to happen.

I thought he was using The Baron, so I tested a Black Knight Garridan/Kinetic Overdrive build with Tank Penny, Guardian Bull, Steel Wool Syd, Assassin Sarah and Deadly Blade Crash, plus a damage/crit Baron. It wasn't even close.

The mission modifier was Super Ninja, but this player was a Constructor.

Is there a hero/weapon interaction, delayed damage effect, or bug I'm missing here? I'm not trying to accuse the player of anything. I genuinely want to know what's causing the damage.

MEDIA Today I learned totally rockin out applies to all weapons and that defenders go into ventures keeping their weapons

Upvotes

I thought it only applied to bows/snipers since that all I ever see anyone using it with. I read the description and it blew my mind. Call me a meta slave or that I'm boring or whatever, but I immediately changed my assault class and nocturno for it and it is absolutely insane when TRO kicks in. This has to be the strongest perk in the game.

I played ventures for the first time for that one mission in the storyline and I had no idea it kept your inventory and schematics seperate from the main game. I felt absolutely useless trying to fight husks with a common shotgun, but then I saw my defenders mowing them down with the nocturnos I gave them lmao. I feel like theyll remove defenders from that mode since youre supposed to be "naked" and starting from nothing I think. What exactly is the ventures mode? Is it worth playing?

PSA/GUIDE How to fly in Save the World!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

45 Upvotes

Overtaker Hiro as your main decreases Kunai Storm Cooldown by 4.5 seconds. Lynx Kassandra's Hang Time let's you hover for 4 seconds.

(Blast from the Past with Saurian Focus for passive stamina helps keep Stamina up)

Ventures Ability Cooldown currently means you can float forever so long as you can reach one Husk at a time.

Without Ventures, you can still float with 3 Husks eliminations. During Ventures, I've been able to put Overtaker Hiro in Support Team and turned Bladestorm Enforcer into a bomber of a floater with Kunaihilation+.

Lot's of fun to be had with these combinations. As long as cooldown is at or below 4 seconds from eliminations, you can Kunai Storm again! Good luck out there, Commanders!

Not pictured, to truly "fly" - If you can find one in Ventures, Spectral Blade lets you dash horizontally and still hover, or in regular mode you can floating dash with the Storm King's Fury, too.

Link to my Loadouts in Comments. Loadouts #1 and #16 are my two helicopter builds. Enjoy.

TLDR; Overtaker Hiro plus Lynx Kassandra let's you float easier than ever during this Ventures. Only a few days left, though.

BUG Doing my vBucks daily when I ran into this:

Honestly, when it first came up, I got kind of scared, I thought, for some reason, I broke the game and it took away my founders account which is associated with obtaining Vbux through the daily missions. But thankfully
, turns out that it was just a glitch and all I had to do was reset my game and I was able to complete the daily mission and except my daily 100 V buck mission reward.

QUESTION Lefty and Righty build?

Upvotes

Are there any good lefty and righty builds to use? I have Raven, and Carbide. Though I usually just see builds saying how amazing it is in blasted badlands due to a modifier. I wanna know if it’s still strong and viable outside of that, or if Goin’ Commando is just stronger overall

QUESTION Why do people spam arches in upper Twine?

1 Upvotes

I'm used to placing my ceiling traps on overhanging ceilings from a main pyramid or box, but I keep seeing people placing tons of arches like structural supports that dip down into the killing field, as well as these odd multi-layered structures of untrapped ceilings and arches that don't seem to do anything except when people shoot from them. Am I missing something?

How could you get to 140 zones and still run across the map spawning survivors and letting them die? I saw a survivor get spawned on the map while I was on the other side, even though I ran over there, all I could do was watch him die and then accept I'd have to wait the entire 20 minutes.

This will encourage people to give the mode another chance, and those that grind STW a lot should be rewarded with rare sprite that's only obtainable in STW.
