Fortnite Save the World | v25.30 Homebase Status Report

Commanders,

The v25.30 update brings the Raptor Wrangler questline. Does this mean what you think it means? Yes, raptor riding is now in Save the World! Complete this questline to unlock the new Hero Prickly Patroller Ramirez, as well as a weapon in the new Primal weapon set.

Raptor Riding

Wrangling a raptor sounds fun… but what do you do once you’ve captured one? Jump on for one heck of a ride, as now you can ride raptors in Save the World! Hold on, though, because while riding a raptor you’ll have the ability to perform extraordinarily high jumps.

New Hero and Weapons

Tip your caps and watch your fingers: Prickly Patroller Ramirez makes her debut in Save the World! Complete the new Raptor Wrangler questline — available from August 9 to September 5, 2023 — to earn the Prickly Patroller Ramirez Hero and the new Primal Shotgun.

Raptor Wrangler Questline

Complete the following questline to unlock Prickly Patroller Ramirez and the Primal Shotgun:

  1. Don't Bite the Band That Tames: Show that you are the ultimate raptor wrangler by taming two raptors.
  2. Raptor Rodeo: Prove you’re a real raptor riding pro by traveling 1000m on raptor-back.
  3. Ricochet Ranger: Eliminate 50 Husks while riding any wildlife to prove your mounted combat skills!

Fortnite Battle Royale v25.20 Update: Futurama Bender, Fry, and Leela Outfits Arrive!

Don’t let the Island’s ancient center stop you from embracing the future: Bender, Fry, and Leela Outfits crash in from New New York! Not only are these three Outfits available now in the Item Shop, but players can also find Bender's Shiny Metal Raygun in battle.


Bender, Fry, and Leela Outfits

Three new Outfits (and matching accessories) are available now in the Item Shop:

Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun

On the Island ‘til v25.30, Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun can be found from the ground, or from Bender himself if you have the Bars. Fire an infinite supply of plasma with this weapon — but be careful because it'll overheat and need to cool down if you fire too much at once!




More in v25.20: Mammoth Pistol

Like an ancient beast, the new Mammoth Pistol is big and powerful and at home in the Wilds. It’s a large-caliber, single-shot pistol that uses heavy ammo, meaning it’ll deliver a crushing blow if you land a shot!



Mammoth Pistols can be found not only in the Wilds but across the whole Island. Get one from the ground, Chests, Holo-Chests, or a flying drone.


Augment Your Pistol Game

Timely for the Mammoth Pistol’s unleashing, v25.20 brings the Pistol Recycle Reality Augment! Activate this new Reality Augment and your Pistol shots will have a chance to cost 0 ammo.

Save your ammo!


Alongside Pistol Recycle, the Desperate Reload Reality Augment has been unvaulted! With this Reality Augment, your Pistols will reload faster when reloaded with an empty clip.


More Hope with a Scope

In addition to the Pistol-related Reality Augments, Scoped Salvo makes its debut in v25.20! Activate Scoped Salvo for your scoped weapons to have increased damage (but a decreased fire rate).


Lever Action Shotgun Unvaulted

Turn the battle back to your direction with the Lever Action Shotgun! This unvaulted weapon can be found from the ground, regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, a flying drone, or claiming a POI.



To accommodate the return of the Lever Action Shotgun, the Maven Auto Shotgun is now currently only obtainable from Characters.


Flare Gun Note

Note: When the Firework Flare Gun was vaulted at the end of Summer Escape, the regular Flare Gun stayed vaulted. The Flare Gun remains vaulted in v25.20.

This case of shareable Slap Juice restores your or your team’s Effective Health and gives short-term unlimited Energy regen. Wanna start the party right away? Activate the new Splash Party Reality Augment for instant Slap Splashes, and the new Roaming Redeploy Reality Augment to glide away when the party ends!


Slap Splash: Energy for Everyone

Slap Splashes can be picked up from a variety of sources: the ground, Chests, coolers, Holo-Chests, claiming POIs, and shooting down flying drones. Once you have one in-hand, throw it down to splash Slap Juice for you and your teammates! The Slap Juice will restore your and your teammates’ Effective Health, plus give you and your teammates short-term unlimited Energy regen in case you need to sprint from menacing foes in the Wilds.


Exotic Slap Splash

Want Slap Splash with even more kick? Exotic Slap Splashes can be found from Exotic Holo-Chests and Loot Llamas, and will grant more Effective Health and a longer temporary Energy regen than regular Slap Splashes. (To accommodate the entry of the Exotic Slap Splash, the Chug Cannon has been vaulted.)

Two new Reality Augments make their debut in the v25.11 July 11 hotfix:


Splash Party

Instantly receive Slap Splashes!


Roaming Redeploy

Gain Glider Redeploy whenever you gain immunity to fall damage – such as when detaching from grind vines, grind rails, or ziplines, or when bouncing from Hop Flowers.



Whether you’re joining the Summer Escape or starting your own party, make a splash.

Fortnite Battle Royale v25.11 June 29 Hotfix: Rule the Jungle with the Sharp Tooth Shotgun

The jungle is full of many hidden dangers. Luckily the v25.11 June 29 hotfix introduces a weapon capable of taking down prey at a distance: the Sharp Tooth Shotgun!


Paleontologists Prefer the Sharp Tooth Shotgun



With a more extended range and smaller spread than the standard Pump Shotgun, the Sharp Tooth Shotgun is the perfect weapon for stalking your sneakiest foes. You’ll become an unstoppable Mesozoic machine with this in your arsenal, especially while riding atop one of the wild raptors roaming around Rumble Ruins and Creeky Compound. Claim your spot as leader of the jungle!

So where can you load up on prehistoric heat? This Pump Shotgun can be found from many sources: the ground, regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, fishing spots, claiming a POI, or by shooting down flying drones.


Kinetic Boomerang Vault

With the release of the v25.11 June 29 hotfix, the Kinetic Boomerang has been vaulted.

Fortnite Battle Royale v25.11 Update: Explosive Repeater Rifle + New Reality Augments!

Fortnite v25.11 has released, which means Fortnite’s summer celebration kicks off July 4, 2023, at 9 AM ET 🌴 But before this party begins, shoot some explosive rounds with the Explosive Repeater Rifle! Also, no party’s needed to augment your reality: activate two new Reality Augments with the release of v25.11.


Fire and Repeat: Explosive Repeater Rifle



Live now, the Explosive Repeater Rifle fires rounds that trigger a small explosion on impact 💥 Because of this explosive effect, you don’t have to directly hit your target to deal some damage. Suspect an enemy’s in a bush? After enough attempts at your target, the bush itself can be destroyed by the explosive damage, leaving your opponent out in the open!

To accommodate the entry of the Explosive Repeater Rifle, the Heavy Sniper Rifle has been vaulted. You can find the Explosive Repeater Rifle from the ground, regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, and for sale for Bars from Nia.


New Reality Augments, Heavy Benefits

v25.11 introduces two new Reality Augments fitting for the heavy ammo-using Explosiver Repeater Rifle:


Heavy Headshots

Your weapons using heavy ammo will have increased headshot damage.


Heavy Ammo Acquired

Instantly gain heavy ammo, then gain more when you open containers.


Competitive Notes

  • Wildguard Relik, Wildguard Relik’s Cloak Gauntlets, and Relik’s MK-Alpha Assault Rifle from v25.10 are now included in tournaments.


Major Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue preventing Victory Crowns from appearing in players’ inventories (which also prevented Victory Crowns from being dropped from players’ inventories).

Fortnite Battle Royale v25.10 Update: Covertly Approach Prey with the Cloak Gauntlets!

If the Wilds and mud weren’t camouflage enough, how about reflective Kinetic Ore? In Fortnite Battle Royale v25.10, activate the new Cloak Gauntlets to become practically invisible! Looking to find nearby enemies? Use the unvaulted Flare Gun to torch your opponents’ structures. Plus, show off new looks with Chapter 4 Season 3’s Super Level Styles!


You “Kinet” See Me

Embrace stealth by equipping Cloak Gauntlets, made with reflective Kinetic Ore. Cloak Gauntlets allow you to blend near-seamlessly with your surroundings, and can be obtained from the ground and Chests. You’ll be covered in Kinetic Ore for a limited time before the gauntlets enter a cooldown, but because the gauntlets possess unlimited charges, you can cloak yourself again and again!



Though you're unable to attack while using Cloak Gauntlets to cover yourself, you can end your cover early by unequipping the gauntlets or swapping to another item in your inventory.


Wildguard Relik’s Cloak Gauntlets

Wildguard Relik has emerged in the jungle. Defeat this boss and Wildguard Relik’s Cloak Gauntlets will be yours for the taking! With this Mythic version of the gauntlets, you’ll be able to cover yourself in reflective Kinetic Ore longer, with a shorter cooldown.


Relik’s MK-Alpha Assault Rifle

The MK-Alpha Assault Rifle — a fully automatic assault rifle with an attached red-dot sight — debuted last week. And now a Mythic version is on the Island: upon defeat, not only will Wildguard Relik drop his Cloak Gauntlets, but he’ll also drop Relik’s MK-Alpha Assault Rifle! Pick up this Mythic weapon to pack a whole lot of power.


Make the Heat of Battle Hotter

As if the jungle climate wasn’t already hot, the Flare Gun has been unvaulted! Use the Flare Gun to start a spreading fire on enemies’ structures. Don't wanna face the heat of somebody else's Flare Gun? Cover yourself in mud to avoid being marked!



You can find Flare Guns from the ground as well as Chests.


Shockwave Grenades in Zero Build

Shockwave Grenades have been unvaulted in Zero Build, findable from the ground and Chests.


Reality: Augmented and Wilder

Two new Reality Augments make their debut in v25.10! Augment your reality with:


Mud Warrior

While in mud or covered in it, you’ll regenerate Health and Shield.


SMG Extended Mag

Your SMGs will have increased magazine size.


Also, the Tracker’s Armory Reality Augment is unvaulted. Activate this Reality Augment to get a Flare Gun instantly (and of course a Shadow Tracker!).

Note: This Season, as new Reality Augments debut and previous ones are unvaulted, they will be immediately unlocked.


Miscellaneous Updates

  • Chickens and Sky Jellies have been vaulted.

  • The population of wolves and that of boars have been reduced.

  • The frequency of fishing spots has been reduced.


Rank Reset

As announced previously in our recent Ranked blog post, we have reset everyone’s ranks for Battle Royale and Zero Build in v25.10 as part of Ranked Season Zero. This is a planned test of resetting ranks before the launch of Chapter 4 Season 4 Ranked.

Your Ranked Urgent Quest completion in Season Zero has not been reset. However, the appearance of your Burn Bright Emote may be updated to reflect your new Battle Royale or Zero Build rank. Your ranks at the time of the reset helped determine your v25.10 ranks, just as would happen in a turnover between Ranked Seasons.


Chapter 4 Season 3 Super Level Styles



Look stylish, look scorchin’. In the Bonus Rewards section of the Battle Pass tab, bonus Styles for Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass rewards have been available for players who progress past Level 100. With v25.10, Chapter 4 Season 3’s Super Level Styles have been added as bonus rewards!

The Super Level Styles this Season? Progress past Level 125 during Chapter 4 Season 3 and start unlocking the Wildscorch, Confetti Claw, and Regal Hunter Styles for the Mariposa, Rian, Lorenzo, Relik, and Trace Outfits.


Competitive Notes

Please note that Wildguard Relik, Wildguard Relik’s Cloak Gauntlets, and Relik’s MK-Alpha Assault Rifle are currently not included in tournaments.

Also, ICYMI: In Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 3, your rank will, among other factors, be an eligibility requirement for Epic-hosted tournaments.

Changes Coming to Fortnite Save the World’s Daily Reward System in v25.10

Hi Commanders,

With the release of Fortnite’s v25.10 update we’ll be making a significant change to the reward systems in Save the World. We’ll be removing the Daily Login Rewards, and shuffling those rewards to other sources — most notably Daily Quests and Mission Alerts.

As players reach higher difficulty levels in Save the World, we want to make sure everyone finds the reward system valuable. Our goal is to make it so that finishing a single Daily Quest and Mission Alert makes up for the removal of Daily Login Rewards. We recognize that finishing a Daily Quest and Mission Alert requires more time and effort than just logging in.

Daily Quests: V-Bucks, X-Ray Tickets, and Gold

In v25.10, we’ll be taking the amount of V-Bucks and Tickets that can be earned in the current system, dividing it up to get a daily value, and adding that amount to the existing Daily Quest rewards. As a result, each Daily Quest will now give 30 additional X-Ray Tickets upon completion, plus 30 additional V-Bucks for Founders.

If you complete one Daily Quest each time you log in, you will be able to earn in-game currency at the same rate as before this change, and since you can bank up to three Daily Quests players who log in less frequently can now complete those to make up for missing a couple of days.

Daily Login Rewards also include a small allotment of Gold, so we’ll be increasing the Gold awarded by Daily Quests by 10 Gold per quest. Over time, the amount of Gold awarded by Daily Quests should add up to several times more than what is offered from Daily Login Rewards.

To accommodate this Gold change, we’ll be increasing the quantity of resources available for sale in the Weekly Store, as we know our more experienced players would appreciate more things to spend their Gold on.

Daily Founders Llamas

The Founders Packs sold before July 2020 included Upgrade Llamas and Founders Llamas that were granted once each day through the Daily Login Rewards screen. If any of these remain unused on your account, they’ll all be granted to you immediately the next time you log into Save the World.

Mission Alerts

Daily Login Rewards are also a source of Schematics, Heroes, Defenders, Survivors, and Evolution Materials. To compensate for this source being removed, we’ll be making some improvements in v25.10 to the items awarded by Mini-Boss Mission Alerts.

For Mini-Boss Mission Alerts, we’ll be increasing the average rarity of the reward items, and significantly upping the quantity of rewards by adding a chance for Mini-Boss Mission Alerts to grant a second bonus reward of the same type and rarity. Alerts that grant Mini-Llamas will also have a chance to grant a higher quantity of Mini-Llamas, or to replace the Mini-Llama with an Upgrade Llama.

Another major change we’ll be making to Mission Alerts is to give all the Storm Alerts on the map a chance to grant items and Llamas, instead of always rewarding Evolution and Perk Materials. This includes the rarity increases and bonus items described above, and should significantly reduce the “reward gap” between the Storm Venture Seasons and Mini-Boss Venture Seasons.

Since this change will mean fewer Evolution Materials available on the map, we’ll be increasing the quantity of Evolution Materials earned when you complete a Storm Alert.

Note that the chance to get X-Ray Tickets (and V-Bucks for Founders) from Mission Alerts is not being affected by these changes in any way.

Overall, our goal with Mission Alerts is that when you survey the Mission Alerts in your zone map, you should be able to pick up a reward equally valuable (or more valuable) than what the Daily Login Reward would have been, especially for late-game players who no longer need the lower-rarity items currently found in the Daily Login Rewards.

Early Campaign Quests

The early part of the Daily Login Reward track has a lot of items to help new players get a jump-start on their collections of Schematics and Heroes. While the changes to Mission Alerts should make up for this loss, we’ve also decided to add some Rare-, Epic-, and Legendary-rarity items to the Campaign Quests in Stonewood and Plankerton.

If you have already completed these Quests, the new rewards will arrive in a gift box the next time you log into Save the World.

Endurance Daily Quests

While working on these reward changes, we also decided to take a look at Daily Quests for Storm Shield Endurance.

These Quests were added so we could award Battle Royale Battle Pass XP for your first Endurance Mission each day, but they lack any Save the World-specific rewards. This’ll be addressed in v25.10 — they will start giving Evolution Materials, Perk Materials, and Gold upon completion (in addition to the Battle Pass XP they already grant).

____________________________________________________________________________

We thank you for reading, and will be listening to your feedback on these changes. Stay tuned for our v25.10 Homebase Status Report for the gameplay updates in Fortnite v25.10.
