Hey Everyone!

We’re back with another Save the World roadmap! We hope you all are enjoying the v9.20 update so far an now that the theme of v9.20 is revealed; Here’s a peek at some of the new highlights in the coming updates:

V9.20 Content Update (Week of 6/11)

  • Sci-Fi Pistol
    • These pistol projectiles are out of this world!
  • Wargames - Quantum Countdown
    • Wait… did that bomb just teleport?

v9.30 (Week of 6/18)

  • Diecast Jonesy (Returning)
  • Chromium Ramirez (Returning)
  • SSD - Endurance
    • How many waves can you complete?
  • Retrieve the Data (Beta Storm Version) and Resupply return as permanent missions!

v9.30 Content Update 1 (Week of 6/25)

    • Hey batta batta! Swing at those balls of energy!
  • Get ready for some summer fun!
    • A new quest is available each Day. Complete all 14 to unlock a 💥 weapon!
  • Wargames - Shortcut

  • Star-Spangled Headhunter (Returning)
  • Patriot Penny (Returning)

    • Stay away!

v9.30 Content Update 3 (Week of 7/9)

  • Sci-Fi Launcher
  • Wargames - Double Trouble
    • There are two of them!?

We wanted to give you a heads up that the Sci-Fi Llama will be available until the launch of v9.40, which is the week of 7/16. The Scifi Llama will be replaced by the Year 2 Birthday Llama and, similar to last year, we’ll be providing a comprehensive checklist of items that you can snag from the Llama closer to it’s launch. The Year 2 Birthday Llama will cost 1,000 Summer Tickets (Same ticket type as the previous season 9 Llamas).

Spend your tickets on the Scifi Llama or stockpile them for the year 2 Birthday Llama, the choice is yours!

We would also like to give a big shout out to everyone who has given us feedback since the launch of Season 9. We’ve been able to track down and fix the most egregious Wargames / SSD issues (trap durability, matchmaking, and health scaling) that have been reported by you all so far. Additionally, we’ve been able to make significant improvements to console performance over the course of this season because of the help that we’ve gotten from you, the community. We’ve also been further digging into the reports of higher end missions continuing to not properly grant the “people” resource. We’ve found the cause of this and will have Rescue the Survivor missions properly rewarding “people” in v9.30.

We’re continuing to monitor the status of each of these so please continue to give us feedback and let us know of the issues that you may be experiencing.

P.S… Energy Ammo will no longer cost bacon in v9.30. We’ll be replacing it with batteries. :)

Stay Awesome Community!

I'm kinda mad dev Jason made a post saying tickets would be cashed in for sci fi llamas at the end of season 9, now they've changed it to bday llamas after I've spent most of mine because of that statement .

Sorry I didn't mean to cause confusion! I just didn't want to spill the beans on the BDay Llama early before /u/Magyst announced it officially.

Note that if you have leftover tickets at the end of the season they will be converted into Sci-Fi Llamas (not Military or BDay).

I thought the Freedom's Herald was a normally obtainable pistol? Am I wrong?

Returning in this case means they are returning to the store.

Can you please elaborate on the summer fun - a new quest each day, complete 14 for a weapon? Do you have to do the quests each day or can they compile (and perhaps we have a bit more time after to finish)?

I’m going on vacay and I’ve never missed anything before. Don’t want to start now. Tear.

Thanks! The roadmap looks fun!

There is a new quest available each day. They will not expire until the 14 days are over.

Two straight weeks daily to unlock a weapon? Wtf? RIP if you have one bad day and can't get on

There is a new quest that you get each day. The quest can stack and will won't disappear until the event is over.

But it's not an event item or anything. It's in the normal section of the Collection Book, you can research it, it's available through Llamas (at least the Epic one is), and the Rare version is even given out for free for logging in in one of the first couple of weeks.

Correct. We did this same thing last year. This weapon fits with the Independence Day theme as it shoots fireworks. This is why this weapon and all of those heroes are coming back to the store.
