Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

You'll get an amount based on your ACCOUNT Level. It will be anywhere from 2-6

EDIT: This will be based on your account level, not power level.

Yes! See our other answer! They are stickied at the top.

My favorite right now is the Storm King because I've wanted a boss of that magnitude since we started developing the game.

Let's just say he's cool as ice.

Our artists and level designers have made some amazing visual design updates that will be in some zones starting tomorrow.

Most likely, no. However, you never know what you may discover.

Yes, absolutely!

Vouchers can be used to recruit any Event heroes in the Collection Book that can not normally be recruited. Vouchers can not be used on Core heroes and Expansion heroes, but they can be recruited for the usual Flux/manual cost. We'll be granting additional Flux, manuals, and other resources when 8.0 launches as well.

Yes!

We're aiming to do a visual revamp of the Blaster soon and are always considering new enemy types.

We're not resetting gold and we removed the gold cap.

How does the Save The World team manage their tasks? Is there a certain group working on big projects like the hero loadout while another works on weekly content such as Frostnite challenges or is it a different system?

Managing STW is done via a series of planning and priority meetings. Tasks are tracked in a software called Jira. We start by planning at a high level what we want the next series of months or rest of the year to look like from very high level beats - at this point we might have to make some assumptions that turn out later to not be true which will ultimately alter plans.

When we initially plan for a specific season we agree to a theme or a general direction and then brainstorm what the contents of that season should be from a narrative standpoint, hero standpoint, rewards, features, and activities. Sometimes one of those buckets is given more emphasis than another so that other really big forward facing features, such ...

Q: With the Hero rework almost here, can we expect to see more StW-specific Heroes, and less ports from BR? Perhaps an even mix of them? u/claricia

A: There will continue to be new Save the World content, we have new Heroes coming in 8.0

We're thinking about it, what kind of stuff would you like to see?

We're giving 240 Gold per 100 Daily Coins.

Q: Also, are you planning to fix technical performance on/remove the Deathbursts? u/NotMyFortniteAccount

A: Deathbursts are on our radar as something to improve, although we don't have a solid timeframe for this yet. In addition to performance, we also want to try and introduce a bit more counterplay.

Still the plan! We're still making major changes to the game. Once we feel like the game is ready for everyone we'll go free. We love you too!

Q: Will there be a time sometime soon where you guys re-visit Plankerton and give it the proper biome? u/demonjoefrance

A: In Season 8 we are introducing a new visual update in Plankerton that significantly changes the look of the zone, and are much more run-down in tone to show the progression in time. We've added a new "Lakeside" location as well.

Q: Are there plans to buff melee weapons/ninjas in general? u/NotMyFortniteAccount

A: The Hero Loadout gave Ninjas a significant buff, both in the power of their abilities and by moving Shadow Stance into the base kit of the class and improving its effects. The Hero Loadout also provides a greater selection of perks focused on survivability which directly benefit melee builds, such as Survivalist and Dim Mak. We've been gradually improving the variety of heavy attacks available on th...

We're using what we call Beta Storms to experiment with new missions and existing missions. Experiments will include playing with shorter mission times.
