SAVE THE WORLD FREE TO PLAY UPDATE NOTES:
New Homebase, Who Dis?
Homebase just got a massive upgrade, evolving from a menu-based hub into a fully explorable space that grows alongside your Save the World journey. As you move through its two floors, you’ll find familiar characters and spots inspired by the classic menus, with the atmosphere changing as you unlock features and make progress. It’s also a great place to regroup and hang out with your party between Missions.
Unusual Readings at Homebase…
A mysterious signal has drawn the Dark Voyager to Homebase. Head out to investigate his sudden arrival, gather intel and stop his drones from reporting back to the menacing ship.
Completing the A Voyager’s Arrival Questline by April 23 will reward you with People XP, Schematic XP, and an Upgrade Llama.
Defenders, Follow My Lead
Instead of guarding the area around Defender Posts, your Defenders will now follow you into battle. They no longer use ammo, and their weapons no longer lose durability. They can also revive you or your teammates if you go down.
Equip up to three Defenders in your loadout, and they’ll automatically deploy with their default weapons when the Mission starts. If you’re tackling a Mission alone, up to three equipped Defenders can join you. In group play, each team member can bring one Defender, with empty slots filled by other players’ equipped Defenders.
You can direct them with commands and pings, making them particularly effective in solo play while still scaling fairly in larger teams. Choose from Riflemen, Gunslingers, Bruisers, Shotgunners and Snipers to best match your playstyle.
Take them into the field, then let us know what you think about the overhaul.
Auto-Level Your Roster
You can now use People XP to automatically level up Heroes and Defenders in your active Loadout, along with Survivors in your Squads. Enable it under Settings > Game > Save the World - Automatically Apply XP.
Note: If you’re just getting started, auto-leveling will already be enabled.
Keybind Update
If you’re heading into Save the World for the first time, your existing Battle Royale keybinds will automatically carry over where possible. If you already play both experiences and your bindings don’t match, you’ll get a pop-up letting you choose whether to sync them, with shared inputs taking priority from BR.
To celebrate Fortnite Save The World becoming free to play I’d like to give a couple followers a STW Founders code which basically can get you FREE V-BUCKS and these 2 skins!
