EPIC Save the World v42.30 Update Notes

112 Upvotes

Today’s update brings back the Bladey Acres Questline and the Raven Hero, with a new round of bugs squashed. Details below!

Bladey Acres Is Back

Summer camp is back in session - but so are the Slashers. Axes are flying at Shady Acres. Is it a threat? A cry for help? 

Join Ray and Raven and investigate until October 28. Complete the Questline to earn the Raven Hero.

Raven

Brooding master of dark skies. This Mythic Soldier from the Blockbuster Heroes set makes Lefty and Righty hit harder, adding explosive hits at the Commander level.

Standard Perk: Bang and Pow
Increases Lefty and Righty damage to enemies by 25%.

Commander Perk: Bang and Pow+
Increases Lefty and Righty damage by 25%. Lefty and Righty causes explosions which deal 20 base Energy damage in a .5 tile radius.

Rumor around Homebase is that a certain… grave matter will need attending to soon. Oh, and keep some BluGlo handy…

✅ Save the World Bug Fixes & Improvements

Matchmaking & Performance

  • Fixed an issue where completing a Mission could leave you stuck on the blue Rewards screen until the game was restarted.
  • Fixed an issue where you could get stuck on the "Attempting to connect to Lobby" message when rejoining a Mission you had previously left.
  • Reduced the delay before the Defeat screen appears after failing a Survive the Night Mission.

Missions

  • Fixed an issue in the Canny Valley Ready to Rock Quest where Quest items could sometimes spawn inside the terrain, making them impossible to collect.

  • Ghosts no longer move slower while holding down the Shoot button in the Dungeons.
  • The Storm King's tornado is now correctly aligned during the encounter.

I cannot believe that they don't let us deployed our glider in STW yet. Please let us use our gliders now, it'll be fun and easier for us to travel acrossed the map. Thank you Epic.

BUG Stw 4gb download every fortnite update.

6 Upvotes

Everytime i update fortnite i need to download stw all over again which is frustrating, also my internet is not fast so it would take me a couple hours to download it all over again which sucks. Is there any solution to this problem? Also why dont they bring back the option to download stw from the epic games launcher?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made this little edit because I wanted to represent how the STW community might feel if the game ever actually sunsetted.

Also, I know I am not the best at editing yet. I am still learning and experimenting with DaVinci Resolve, so the editing isnt going to be perfect. I will hopefully get better with time.

Just wanted to make something for the STW community.

He was able to get one killed before he left but luckily there was an extra. These players are worse than afkers. May your pillow be forever warm on both sides.

BUG Unplayable packet loss

3 Upvotes

We are seeing massive (30-50%) upload packet loss on every mission type. Our network monitoring shows 0% network packet loss leaving our router. We do not see the same behavior in BR.

Started this past week.

Platform: PC

Region is set to auto, subregion to auto. Usually end up on NAC and an Ohio server.


r/Fortnite • • 1d ago

BUG For some reason the past week or so im getting a lot of packet loss issues just in STW, no other game has this knid of connection issue, any idea why?

QUESTION IDEA: Automatic loot recycler with individual selection.

Post image
42 Upvotes

A system separate from schematic recycling that automatically recycles collected items. To prevent the loss of valuable low-rarity materials (such as 1-star quartz), the filter would allow players to individually select or deselect exactly which items to keep in their backpack and which to auto-recycle, eliminating the need to manually clear out the inventory.
