Hey Fortnite Friends,

We wanted to give everyone a heads up regarding some upcoming changes that we’re making to Wargames and Endurance mode. Let’s hop in:

Wargames and Endurance are here to stay in the next season and beyond as permanent game modes. With Season 9 coming to a close, seasonal tickets will no longer be offered as a reward for Wargames Daily Quests and Wargames Mission Rewards. We are also taking this time of transition to address some issues with Wargames and Endurance rewards. 

At the start of the upcoming season, Mission Rewards for Wargames will be reduced so that consistently AFKing through Wargames is less appealing. To compensate for this change, the Daily Wargames Quests now give increased rewards specific to Stonewood, Plankerton, Canny Valley and Twine Peaks. In addition, the "Husk Swarm" challenge will be removed as this challenge was too easy to AFK.  

  • Stonewood Daily Wargames Quests will reward additional Gold
  • Plankerton Daily Wargames Quests will reward Gold and a choice of Evolution Materials
  • Canny Valley Daily Wargames Quests will reward Gold and RE-PERK!
  • Twine Peaks Daily Wargames Quests will reward Gold and a choice of Epic PERK-UP! or Legendary PERK-UP!

Rewards are being reduced in the earlier waves of Endurance. These earlier waves are easier to play through, the challenge of Endurance increasing as the waves progress. We are saving the best rewards for players who are properly challenging themselves to achieve higher wave completions.

We are thrilled to see players completing Endurance Mode and the various Wargames simulations and challenges, experimenting with new trap layouts and sharing their experiences with the community. We hope these changes to Wargames and Endurance will incentivize players to participate in a variety of mission types. 

Good Luck Commander!

right? not even punishment for afkers in normal mission, but no, “we have to nerf afk wargames”. The best way to farm tickets and it didn’t hurt nobody.

now i will have to do normal missions, deal with leechers and afkers again, risking losing my mats for no reason? and they get away with no punishment? at least deal with toxic people BEFORE nerf wargames. it was necessary, but not now tho

The best way to farm tickets

It was literally "THE BEST" way to farm tickets. So good that you didn't even have to touch the keyboard. The rewards are being reduced.. not removed completely (with the exception of tickets). You'll still be able to play the same way (if that's your desire) but just not with as much reward. The daily missions will be really valuable to complete as their rewards are heavily buffed. Make sure you complete them!

Hi guys,

Based on some of the feedback in this thread, we took a look at the mission and Mission Alert rewards above Rating 100, and are planning to make some changes. Many of the reward types are not scaling up sufficiently - especially Evolution Materials and Perk Materials. We're going to buff these up, and will have more details shortly. Expect this to land an update or two after the start of Season 10.

Thanks,

Jason

I get what you guys are saying, but removing the tickets constitutes enough of a nerf. Reducing the number of evolution materials on top of that is just straight up punishment for your player base.

You guys drip feed us drops of rain and bottled lightning. Not to mention Epic and Legendary perk up. This gave us a way to progress again at the same rate that we did when we were still playing story missions through Canny Valley.

Twine isn't finished yet, but the end game is really a huge mess and leveling survivors and schematics takes forever. Now you want us to go back and deal with xX_ARCJESS_Xx begging for trades while ignoring the mission objective.

This is the first time I've actively disagreed with a change you're making to the game.

Tickets were going to be rotated off Wargames regardless if players were AFKing on them or not. We've always rotated tickets in for the main feature of the Season and then out after the event is over. This is most noticeable when tickets were on Storm Alerts. In this case, Storm Alerts do not have tickets as they are tied to normal missions and Wargames.

Since Wargames will not be the main focus of the new season, tickets will not be associated with them, but instead, tied to the new event.
