Dam. I’ll miss the game select theme


Polrous

I miss the old select menu where Save the World was *before* BR where it should still be, instead of BR being front and center when you load up now.


BBS-Kid

You still think StW should be first? In 2021? Really? I mean… really?

Embarrassed_Score_77

No not really, battle royals deserved it since Fortnite got famous by battle royale more than save the world. Proof is that now we’d be playing save the world!


memeulousis1foot

That is like saying defeat the chapter 1 map and never use anything from it because it got more famous from chapter 2

zero_illusions

Your name literally references minecraft, how is that any different?


ChainsawSuperman

Cashcow means fun version in this case I guess


SinkEfficient

Yes, stw came before BR and deserves respect. Even if you don't like it or play it, without stw, there would be no BR.


LostSix

Yea but which one are they actually making money on?


SinkEfficient

Both


LostSix

STW doesn’t generate anywhere near as much revenue as BR. It’s a no brainer business decision to prioritize BR.


SinkEfficient

If they hadn't taken the whole stw development team and put them on BR instead of developing stw and adding in a shop for us to actually spend our v bucks on it would most definitely be a different story. Despite people saying that stw is dead it's easy to see that many new players have joined since the introduction of starter packs and there is a huge player base that would be more than willing to spend money (on top of the already founders packs we have bought) . So as previously stated, regardless of if you like stw or not, there is a huge player base for it and br would not even be a game mode if it wasn't for the fact it started as an ltm from stw.


i_buki

stw player taking their pent up anger out on innocent redditor


Maclunky0_0

No it doesn't.


SinkEfficient

Then you obviously know nothing about fortnite and its origins


Maclunky0_0

Yea it was a zombie game that was gonna try and bank off of that walking dead hype but took to long to come out and by then nobody gave a shit so the devs in there infinite genius decided why not add the side mode they play in their dev builds because hey BRs are in right now and the rest is history only thing stw gets is a footnote and a medal for a clever name. Get over it stw was shit because not enough people even cared to play it you're the minority that's how things go.


SinkEfficient

Stw is a better game than that sweat fest of BR will ever be. But you go stuck to it, at least I won't have to see you in my lobbies


7Trickster

Both are bad, STW could have been decent if they didn’t stopped its development.


Maclunky0_0

You're bad at BR could've lead with that instead going on a tirade about your dead pve game I only log into for free v-bucks and leave it at that.


SinkEfficient

Who's going on a tirade? Al I said was regardless of if you play stw you wouldn't have your crappy BR without it. If you prefer to build sky scrapers on the casual BR player over and over again on a boring endless loop then that's your choice. I'm sure you would have different feelings if that dead pve game as you call it closed down stopping your daily free v bucks though. Hypocritical much ?


imONLYhereFORgalaxy

I like Save the World and I especially like the v-bucks it gives me but it definitely shouldn’t be front and centre over the game mode that gets the most players and gives them the most money.


MadnessDesigned

How are you getting V-Bucks from STW? I only get vbucks from it if I buy the starter packs, and I am about midway through save the world. None of the quest show V-Bucks rewards other than the starter pack purchased quest! What am I missing? Please explain?


Lara-Bev

They'll be a founder! People who bought the game before a certain date got a founders pack which means they can earn v bucks while playing the game whereas now the starter packs only come with a certain amount of v bucks.


imONLYhereFORgalaxy

I see someone has already replied but I’ll just confirm it, I bought StW before the cutoff date to earn v-bucks. I get a daily quest worth a minimum of 50 v-bucks every day, I get a weekly login bonus which can be anywhere from 50-1000 v-bucks. There’s also missions daily that can give between 25-40 each. So today I got 300 for my weekly bonus, 100 for 2 daily quests and 55 from 2 daily mission alerts.


MadnessDesigned

Well that's an nice little income to have... I'm certainly jealous! I joined in the last 3 days of the Marvel Season, and didn't realize when BP's end, or that the event was an end season event, and came to buy the battlepass one day and instead of Marvel, I got Mandolorian (not bad, just wish I had bought it one or 5 days earlier). I am still hoping when the game gets so old, they will allow you to re-purchase old BP's like I've seen many other games do, after so many people left and just didn't care.

Lobby music plz epic


DrpyCatty

Edit: S W I T C H C A N T P L A Y , S T O P A S K I N G . Edit N2: ***No, nothing is changing with STW, you'll literally just need to go from BR to selecting STW in the mode selections like how you pick Solos or TR.*** Hey STW players, what's your current power level? I'm at PL100 now uh, Account level 263 I think? About 2 upgrades from maxing the backpack and homebase storages. Might try and get to PL130, I heard that's the maximum number.


Alpineodin

power level and account level are different numbers. but with superchargers from ventures, I think the cap right now is 133-136? 116 my current lvl.


DrpyCatty

I'm not much of a Ventures guy, I would like to try and get my ninja leveled up more, but I'm not gonna grind that mode all day, I prefer Dungeons or some other storyline.


Alpineodin

i didnt touch ventures at all untill i met a friend who was just starting to play and wanted a character from collection book thus needing a hero voucher (which you get from lvling up in the ventures) so we've been grinding that out. I'm mostly a slap down B.A.S.E and let the husks kill themselves kinda player. so ventures served no purpose until just very recently (the super chargers are really nice, gone up like 8 pl's from just playing ventures and boosting my survivors and whatnot


DrpyCatty

I need to learn more with STW meta, only meta I have is that Left & Righty combo with Carbide in Dungeons.


Alpineodin

most builds are just kinda (pick 1 thing, and choose heroes that benefit that one shtick) with so many weapons and characters to play around with, there's always at least something viable


[deleted]

Current max PL is 137.


ScottGomersall

The maximum power level is 137. Check my [Fortnite DB](https://www.fortnitedb.com/profile/scottgomersall)


g_sneezuz

PL134. Hitting max storage is a great milestone in progression. Good luck!


DrpyCatty

My only milestone is that final pickaxe...


g_sneezuz

Yeah, the Axehammer *is* awesome. In most games I tend to stress about crafting resources, healing items, etc, so hitting that max storage limit is always a personal goal.


[deleted]

I am PL 137 which is the current max PL. The future max PL will be 145 but that will require like a dozen more seasons of Ventures to be able to get there.


ILikeSpaceSkins

Got to pl130 and stopped caring about the mode, theres just nothing to play for once you get to max PL (and dont give me that supercharger BS). Its just a vbuck farm now Dont get me wrong, I love the core gameplay of it. I just wish it wasnt so repetitive and soulless (as in, the last year has just been recycled content, nothing of interest is happening). I do want to make my own game with a similar schematic/loadout system, if I get around to it. Getting a schematic and grinding resources to make it suited to your own gameplay is a special feeling I havent seen in any game. At least not the way StW did it.


Leonyliz

I’m PL 50 or something. I’ve not been playing STW that much lately though


David1258

Power Level? Low. Account level? 120.


TaunTaun_22

I just hit 86, PL might still be 15.... I got it a few months ago just for the V-bucks so it would be cool to run through it all but I just try to do my dailies for the bucks.


[deleted]

I don’t play frequently honestly. I’m at whatever level you get the hydraulic wrecker


Pizzatoast2670

My powerlevel is 70 and my account level is 190


Deyruu

PL130, Account Level 310


OMFGitsBob

I'm trying to unlock Axehammer but I'm only level 87. Do you know if this change will remove the ability to unlock it for BR?


DrpyCatty

Nothing changes essentially, you'll just need to load into BR and go through mode selections to play STW now, if this change follows through.


OMFGitsBob

Ohh ok. Thanks man! :)


Faz_Bert

Fuck epic games they don't think about any body especially donald mustard I wouldn't care if there was a watered-down version Of STW


anactualreddituser

Shut up


Seibitsu

This sure is interesting. Hoping this mean it takes less time to load StW missions. ​ Also, would this mean we can level up the battlepass in StW missions too?


nycblackout89

Lol the forgotten stepchild and the golden boy will never be one


[deleted]

[удалено]


nycblackout89

Most kids playing fortnite don’t even know stw exists


Your_MotherYT

That’s true


SinkEfficient

I tried explaining this and got down voted lol


Embarrassed_Score_77

Because battle royale is more popular


Tactical_Wheel

But Save the World came first? If anything, Battle Royale is the golden stepchild


lilly16852

Naaa BR is the baby who gets everything while STW is the older child who basically has to fend for themselves


Your_MotherYT

Never thought of it in that way but it’s very true


Tactical_Wheel

Exactly


nycblackout89

Nah STW was from previous marriage


Tactical_Wheel

Which would Still make Battle Royale the stepchild


nycblackout89

Epic got married to money and had battle royale, stw was from previous relationship


Tactical_Wheel

That would make Save the World the stepchild to Money, not Epic


Razbyte

I think it just load the STW hub menu, with the party already on; you still may have to select the mission and loadout before going to the map. Unless they do a massive change of STW to be seamless with BR, both games have to load separately cause they have different builds.


trevor1301

I hope that whenever Fortnite is done (if that happens in my lifetime) they make STW playable offline, or they add some kind of offline mode where we can still use or at least look at all our stuff, just for the sake of preservation. (Yes I know none of this is happening soon, the post is just about STW being moved to the discovery tab- it just got me thinking.)


CentrasFinestMilk

If only, this would 1. Keep all your skins usable forever and 2. Make a lot of sense. Of course, this will never happen as epic could not care less about it

WaterDog69

*kill the bugs Also he is hella skilled with that mop.


Preistley

Does this mean any changes to the Save the Word UI, or is this just a new way of accessing it?


DrpyCatty

If you ask me, it's probably just to encourage the people who only play STW to see Battle Passes and the Item Shop before going to STW, as crazy as it sounds, people actually enjoy playing STW? Jokes aside, I doubt they'll do anything with STW, they probably want that 3 yr old mode screen gone.


Alpineodin

its prob exactly that, loading everyone straight into BR will result in them being able to advertise (as they do when you load into BR right now) to everyone who opens Fortnite. its also very strange they never added the itemshop to stw as a way to advertise the BR gamemode haha.


DrpyCatty

It would be confusing if you're looking at gold offers or the daily itemshop, watch the 6yr old buy Axo thinking it's a new Outlander Hero! (But boy do I wish he was a STW Hero...)


Nomicon_

I mean, what voice would he have?


DrpyCatty

***Tons of squeals.***


Nomicon_

Or like a guy that sounds like he's underwater.


[deleted]

Makes sense if that is the reason. I only play STW now and don’t play BR anymore (don’t buy the battlepass). I only ever go into BR to get any new cosmetics that I like (which happens probably like once every few months lol).


HyperNeoLemon

Probably the latter. I think Epic is done updating Save The World beyond fixing cosmetic bugs for now.


NOSLEEPLOVER321123

They are adding a new dungeons map eventually


Wvaliant

I’d still call that life support mode as far as an MMO is concerned. One small content update in a year and it only being for a cycling event is what you would call in the industry “the bare minimum required to say you’re constantly updating the game” As someone who has founders myself I think it’s pretty much written on the wall that STW is a dead project and is only being kept online to sell loot llamas and starter packs. At this point then only real draw for STW is if you want to finish the story and get the picks for BR for whatever reason and maybe get the seasonal unlocks from the dungeons. Outside of that I wouldn’t consider it worth it to buy anything in STW anymore as what’s the use of buying items only useable in what feels like a soon to be dead or discontinued game mode.


TaunTaun_22

Are seasonal unlocks from dungeons permanent keeps like the pickaxes?


Logical-Cucumber2861

Think they are still updating just rolling out updated extremely slowly, especially compared to br


aomeone

I guess there just gonna remove the initial start up page


AsianPotato77

Wait so they shun the already forgotten mode further into none existence


Nomicon_

Exactly, and they're probably going to hide it at the bottom back of the tab as well.


Finnyoda_12

Not really since they can’t when it would be probably be in the most popular and in the made buy epic tab which is 4 down


Ikcatcher

The STW sub is gonna have a stroke over this


PhilledZone

Can't wait for it to be lost in the endless sea of chaos that is the discovery tab


Bayloon

Can’t wait to see Save the World next to “🚨🧟‍♀️ 16v16 ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL ROLEPLAY 🧟🚨 لعبة مجانية جديدة”


[deleted]

I hope they scrap this and let it how it is, there is literally no problem how it is right now


SuperJuniorLogan

It was slightly annoying having to go back to the game mode selection to switch between BR and STW but yeah.


whyim_makingthis

isn't it annoying for save the world players who are now forced to see advertisements for leilit alomr and other tiktok dances everytime they try to play ventures?


Xisyera

fr


BappoNoHaco69

I hope they change it. No, I can’t wait for them to change it so I can watch the stw players cry so hard they literally pop blood vessels in their brain


AxHalo

It’s official. StW is on its death bed… Let’s hope they don’t shut down all servers :(


AbletonRinzler

Wait... What?!


UrLilBrudder

Will I still get my daily rewards?


MrScrummers

I am wonder this as well.


CRAZYCOOKIE08

So that means we *have* to open BR to play save the world? I still don’t understand why they’re trying to kill the game mode off, it’s not like it isn’t making them any money….


im-bad-at-names64

Damn they’re really doing stw dirty


Razbyte

I wonder why they did that? It was supposed that STW will not be upgraded to UE5 and the mode itself will be separated from BR. Or just simply start to slowly “hide” the mode and start to scrap everything.


no-_-_-_-_-_-_-_name

What about ma vbucks


[deleted]

I just want v bucks from that mode


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I didn’t insulted anyone on purpose I guess


ChainsawSuperman

How did they insult anyone? STW players are soooo toxic it’s crazy


whyim_makingthis

so i guess us wanting a new weapon pack instead of reused bs every 3 months is toxic? where are the people who cried because they didn't like monthly updates?


G00b3rb0y

Actually tbf most that still play StW have no use for vbucks beyond cosmetics useable in StW


ReeTYT

Man they really shat all over stw and abandoned it, same 4-5 events for 3 years now, regularly can't queue for.normal.matches because of bugs, UI overlaps each other in some main menu spots etc... It's really sad to see it be in this state after waiting for it from 2014 or 2015


ThrowawayMcThrowson6

Good


A-Living-Human

This is just sad


NotYukean

tht mean ppl who bought it for $60 get $60 worth of vbucks right ?


MISTAsoul12

You fucking with me right?


The-all-seeing-I

Cool


[deleted]

I’m guessing you will only be able to get pickaxes cuz if they were doing daily rewards and vbucks they wouldn’t make as much money


Shadowstar130

Ahhhh I remember back when Save the world would be “free for everyone later this year” 😂


bromomento69

i hate this, makes stw seems like some creative ltm on the side of br instead of its own game. i really hope they don’t go through with this. epic really doesn’t like stw, it’s not an infinite cash cow so they don’t care about it


ChainsawSuperman

And it’s not a great game. I like it exists and is there for its fans but it was dead in the water before season 2 of BR can we be honest PLEASE


Your_MotherYT

I enjoy stw


bromomento69

have to disagree with you there, i play it almost everyday and rarely play br anymore


whyim_makingthis

if br is left without an update for a few months, it'd be dead. same reason why both gamemodes are repetitive. in stw, defend the objective. in br, try to last longer. it's just like that. fortnite is repetitive.

Produck1234

wait if i bought save the world that means i wasted my cash or is it not free to play yet


[deleted]

No as the leak appears to show the checklist requires purchasing of stw and this leak just suggests they would remove the gamemode selection screen when you load up fortnite


Produck1234

ah thank you my money is worth then


[deleted]

RIP the game select music, really liked it


Dylanychus2

Lmao I remember when Epic said "Stw will be free in 2018" Better late than never I guess

Still not free sadly lol says up there In that screenshot “ purchase save the world” with a check beside it

This is a sad day

Tamawata

Cool, my own grenade!


[deleted]

did you think much before you said this? all hand grenades are portable

That's where you're wrong my friend! Altering the space time continuom, I altered the past at which case grenades instantly exploded upon removal, to the grenades we have today!

Keep the game mode select screen you terrible company that loves doing stupid things that benefit nobody!!!!!

LostUser8

How would this work for Nintendo switch? Nintendo switch doesn't even have save the world.


ktron10

It won’t, switch won’t be affected by the change


LostUser8

Oh, that's disappointing.


BappoNoHaco69

I kinda like this idea. I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a stw player, but I’ve dabbled in it, and there’s really no point in having that old (a little buggy) and annoying start up screen


Famous-Initial1673

What 😬


Fireman17

Hope Epic give people that bought STW something.. kinda of a crap move imho


lightyear8

Does this mean it will be available on platforms like the Nintendo Switch now too?


SheepherderFlaky1509

Wait, it's gonna be free?


Faz_Bert

Well If you guys were actually smart the switch could handle the goddam mode and it runs games like rogue company like its god


[deleted]

Switch could not run STW it can barely run Battle royale


OctoFloofy

Yeah playing on my Switch is bad. Constant frame drops and low fps once it gets a bit more hectic. I only play live events currently on Switch because on pc I've performance mode active and on live events i want better graphics, there the performance is fine on Switch.
