[2020] Save the World | Homebase Status Report 3.3

Get ready to Save the World in style, Commanders! 

Take a look at what's in store this week for Save the World!

Cosmetics - Outfits and Back Blings!

Dress to impress with Outfits and Back Blings; Now available in your Homebase Locker! Additionally, the Homebase Locker now saves independently from BR and any changes you make in one mode will not affect the other. 

“Sometimes efficiency isn’t everything. Sometimes it’s all about the style” -Director Riggs

How do Outfits and Back Blings work?

You can now select any Outfit and Back Bling you own in BR in the Save the World Locker and that look will apply to your Hero, regardless of which Hero you have as your commander. 

Want to use the lower rarity outfit? You got it!

You are no longer limited to the appearance of your Hero based on their current rarity. You can choose any style you’ve already unlocked. So if you have a Tier 5 Legendary Hero, such as Rescue Trooper Ramirez, you’ll be able to choose any of her lower rarity and tier in your Locker.

Love the way your original Commander looks? No problem! 

Your Commander’s default appearance for both Hero / Back Blings are available and always listed first in your Locker choices. Your default appearance will change when you swap loadouts as you can’t make one Hero look like another. 

What about reactive cosmetics??

Homebase is still working on support for reactive cosmetics. There are some reactives that have no parallel in StW and simply won’t react, such as Stratus and his Backtracker Back Bling. However, we still intend to create parallel functionality where we can.
