Fortnite: Save the World Dev Tracker

Hey everyone!

In update 7.10, we will be converting Damage Resistance perks to use a new stat called Armor. Armor is configured such that +1 armor is equivalent to +1% longer survival time under fire, making it consistently valuable per point regardless of the amount. For instance, if you have 30 armor, you will survive 30% longer under fire than you would with 0 armor. This is in contrast to the current implementation of Damage Resistance, where simply adding percentages together makes each perk more powerful than the last, skewing build diversity.

To illustrate this problem, imagine you have a DR perk that grants 50% resistance, which halves the incoming damage and makes you twice as hard to kill. If you add a second 45% perk on top it drops the incoming damage to 5%, which makes you TWENTY times harder to kill. Armor will make these times grow linearly instead, which lets us give you more defensive options to choose from without having to hed...

Actually, I tripped over the Ethernet cable and forgot to plug it back in..

Hey Everyone!

We’re aware that players are experiencing matchmaking issues in Save the World. We’re currently working to get this resolved.

UPDATE Matchmaking Issues have been resolved. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks!

Hope everyone is enjoying 7.0 in Save the World!

As mentioned in our previous State of Development, we have a new Hero System in the works! We wanted to take a moment to share some information regarding upcoming Heroes. All of the new heroes arriving before the Hero Loadout redesign will be reskins of currently available ones. However, once it launches, you’ll find that every one of these Heroes adds a unique benefit.

Creating reskins of the current classes is only a temporary measure to give us more time to focus on making sure the new system is in top form - we want to deliver a great personalized gameplay experience once the feature launches early next year.

Additionally, we’ll be updating all the members of Steel Wool to “Mythic” rarity, and they will be getting unique perks and abilities once Hero Loadout goes live!

We appreciate your patience as we put the finishing touches on this new redesign!
