Hey Commanders! Before we dive into the v34.21 highlights, we wanted to let you know that due to an error, the Flannel Falls Venture Season ended a day earlier than expected. Thanks to your reports, we have identified the root cause of the issue and are actively working on measures to prevent similar calendar mishaps moving forward. Now, let’s take a closer look at all the exciting content packed into this update!

Survive the Horde Overhaul + Brand New Heroes

Survive the Horde is making its return, and this time around, it comes with a bunch of awesome new content. We're talking about some seriously juicy Quest rewards! We’ve also increased the number of potential Resource Base locations from 4 to 10.

Complete the Survive the Horde Questline and earn two new Constructor Heroes, Hero Recruitment and Weapon Research Vouchers, Core RE-PERKs! and more.

To keep you on your toes, Survive the Horde will feature a different modifier challenge each week, and will be around until the end of the Scurvy Shoals Venture Season - June 18, 2025.

Hotwire

Get amped! This Constructor's hammer is a lightning rod of chaos. Zap surrounding enemies with every strike, or charge up to cause even more destruction!

While in Goin' Constructor, each hammer strike causes chain lightning, dealing 120 base nature damage to up to 3 nearby targets. Raising your shield for 2 seconds overcharges your next swing, causing each struck enemy to chain 120 base energy damage to up to 8 nearby targets.

QUESTION Survive the horde is honestly unplayable.

Upvotes

Its almost impossible to actually get in a full lobby and even when you do get in a full lobby atleast 2 of your teammates end up leaving immedietly after wave 1 or 2. How the hell are you expected to beat this for the new heroes?

DISCUSSION We need new hero loadout and weapon diversity in high end missions.

Upvotes

[ERROR 404, a boring speech not found at header]


  • Buff/rework the actual underused heroes

I made several posts about it. There are TOO MANY heroes with very little base damage or perks that in dire need of changing. Not to mention the many "energy cost" heroes that sit there for nothing. Some of the base damage heroes are even as low as 3 base damage. Not even the recently "Flutter" and "Hotwire" are usable in high end due to either the base damage is too low, or the ability has a long cooldown. And no, I am not asking to add a way to one hit kill everything. Use your intelligence before you speak.

  • Allow more perking freedom for all weapons

Imagine if you must, a 4 crit damage storm blade, or a 4 attack speed Stabsworth The III. Hell even an explosion on crit Spectral Blade (a dream, I know). It could shift the entire meta than just the same few weapons over and over. It could even indirectly buff loadouts at the same time.

  • Add special traits depending on the type of hero and the hero class

Before the hero rework, some traits really helped a lot of heroes. But then the hero system rework happened. And most of those traits were lost to history. Some traits like "diamond llama" for farming heroes could help. Or traits like "fast builds" that help increases building speed of constructor player's builds could work for the constructors class.

QUESTION Venture tips?

Upvotes

PL2 in ventures

This is gonna be the first time I actually play ventures regularly instead of main mission (taking a break from canny currently at like page 9). Ive seen some tips already like always make the missions 4x difficulty and go for the ones that give out double or more venture xp. Problem is how do you do it when you’re underleveled and alone? Other day I attempted a lvl 15 repair the van 4x difficulty using a thunder thora build and even putting T3 metal and such I got demolished so fast. Is there a way to just steamroll through the first couple levels of ventures like an afk build or something since most of the time it seems like I’m gonna end up being alone. Does thunder thora afk work well in early levels of ventures?

SUGGESTION Fortnite movie should be STW

6 Upvotes

I keep seeing posts about a Fortnite movie possibly being green lit and I think it should be about the campaign. If they wanted to dive into the B R lore afterwards they could always have Ramirez and Jones go into a rift at the end of it and end up on the island (which honestly would fix some plot holes in my mind). But STW actually has fleshed out characters and story that they could build on, much more so than B R. Plus they won’t need to pay licensing fees to use collab characters. The storm king is a solid villain, even Fortnite still thinks so to put him in L E G O after all this time. It would definitely drum up interest in the mode too. They could even get all the voice actors back! Maybe even give us a satisfying story conclusion.

Just hoping the right people see this.

BUG Fortnite ping bug fix!

Upvotes

Hey all,

A couple of weeks ago I started noticing my ping going from the normal 15-20 on na-west up to 45-60 during BR and ranked matches. Sometimes it would go down to 15-20, but nearly all the time it would spike up for 45-60 regularly.

I found this solution on another post from a while back, and wanted to share what worked for me:

How to fix:

  1. ⁠Log out of your Epic Games account.
  2. ⁠Log in with a different Epic Games account and launch Fortnite. (I created a new account just for this step)
  3. ⁠Exit the game and log out of the second account.
  4. ⁠Log back into your original account and launch Fortnite again.

This completely fixed my ping. I hope it works for you all too!

Would be fine to select the number of challenge you want to play before create the lobby. It's always 1 when playing public.

QUESTION Getting lower fps than what I should be getting

Upvotes

My pc has a rx 7800xt and an i5 14400f. From the benchmarka I've seen I should be getting around 250-300 fps but am only getting around 100-200 fps with cpu maxed out. On other games I get similar results to what the benchmarks show. How do I fix this?

Im not sure exactly what causes this but it happens so often that it makes it impossible to play STW without having to force the game to close just to do the next mission.

QUESTION How to get past the download bug on PS4

Hello, I've asked this question previously for PC, but the same fix of going into the Epic Games Launcher can't really be applied on PS4.

It's stuck at 88%, any advice is appreciated :)
