What’s New?

Hit the Road
Get ready for some high intensity road trip action as you assist Quinn and company in broadcasting her Song of the Summer. You never know what challenges and obstacles you may find along the way, and getting there is half the adventure. Load up the van and gather your group because it’s time to Hit the Road! 


Introducing the Locker!
Your favorite Emotes, Music Packs, and Loading Screens are now available in Save the World. Head over to the Locker tab to check them out! 

General

• The first part of the Locker has arrived in Save the World. You can now use your Emotes, Music Packs, and Loading Screens.
  • The Locker is currently shared between Save the World and Battle Royale, so if you change it in either location, it will change in both.
  • Only Emotes, Music Packs, and Loading Screens are available for Save the World at the moment. We plan to support more types of cosmetics in future updates. Read more about this here. 
• Emotes:
  • All types of Emotes now work in Save the World: Dances, Emoticons, Sprays, and Toys. Any emotes you own are available in all modes.
  • You can slot up to 6 Emotes in the Locker for quick access on the Emote Wheel.  Additional Emotes can be accessed by paging the wheel up or down.
  • You can use Dances and Emoticons in the Lobby.
  • Everyone who currently has access to play Save the World will keep Ride the Pony, which is now a traversal Emote. You can now use it in Battle Royale and Creative too!
  • Players who purchase Save the World Founders packs will also receive Ride the Pony.
  • Everyone keeps Dance Moves as well, as players in all modes start with that Emote.

Missions + Systems

• Introducing: Hit the Road!
  • Grab three other players and help Quinn get to the Radio Station to spin her Song of the Summer in this road trip adventure.
  • Quinn travels in a hover-truck, complete with a mobile storm defense shield.
  • Along the route are four randomized objectives, each with challenging gameplay and a variety of upgrades.
  • Get to the radio station, and protect Quinn from a final enemy wave. Hopefully you’ve collected enough traps, ammo, and resources to secure the victory!
  • If the vehicle loses all of its health the road trip ends, but players earn rewards based on the number of objectives completed.
  • You start the trip without your gear or supplies, making scavenging and harvesting a top priority.
  • You keep your trap schematics, and start with a few “hand-me-down” weapons, but weapon crafting is disabled.
  • Weapons with appropriate perks are scattered throughout the route, increasing your chances of survival without your weapon schematics.
  • Chests in Hit the Road spawn tier-appropriate weapons, traps, and resources.
  • Unlike previous events, Hit the Road uses Power Levels instead of Storm Shield Defense progress to match players to the correct difficulty, bringing more balance to the group.
  • If you are knocked out you will have to wait until your team reaches or completes an objective before you will respawn. Be careful out there! 
  • New event quests have also been added to give players a chance to earn even more Hit the Road tickets.
  • Search everything you can for cassette tapes, helping Lars craft the perfect summer mix tape, and earning some Hit the Road event tickets.

    • Known issue: Sometimes the crafting ingredient fails to be rewarded if players do not finish enough bonus objectives.

• Shadow Ops Heroes, Military Weapons, and Vacuum Tube Weapons have been moved to the Expansion Tab in the Collection Book. These items may now be researched/recruited.
• Exploding Deathburst has been replaced with a new modifier: Exploding Death Bomb. When Husky Husks, Sploders, and Riot Huskies are eliminated they leave behind a destructive bomb with a short fuse.
• With the changing of the season, event ticket rewards have been removed from Wargames Daily Quests and Wargames Mission Rewards.
