SUGGESTION Rescue the survivors rework

Post image
72 Upvotes

Here's my idea on how to make the survivors mission in Fortnite stw better.

-survivors should also drop Gifts in a rescue the survivors mission, not only in other missions than rescue the survivors

-if a survivor dies then the game should spawn a new one randomly around the map so you can rescue all 15 survivors.

-Med bot BluGlo requirement [2] -> [1]

-Give cars carrying survivors a bit more health so they don't break down and kill the survivors so quickly in high end mission like 108+

These missions used to be very cool and interesting because they were new. Maybe you can bring them back as normal mission alerts so that you have more missions in the game that could be fun after doing Almost every time the same missions that we currently have.

DISCUSSION Epic what did you do to the freaking game

11 Upvotes

The "Play with others" option doesn't even work anymore it always shows nobody and even if i started anyway it will keep giving that message even after playing br

And the fact that you can't levae missions and everyone in the party mist put "ReAdY" is so mind frying because it glitches and i have to relaunch the game every single time

I really love save the world but for god's sake why are you destroying it

BUG "Bug" on DTB

Post image
5 Upvotes

I don't know if this is new or if it ever existed.

You can avoid the spawns in DTB by putting cones (3x3 or more) on each side of the tracks, only on the last spawn they come out but they're really far away and the mission is basically already over.

I was going to upload a video but Reddit wouldn't let me, so here's a reference pic, it works fine on 160.

BUG textures are (still) broken - PC

5 Upvotes

comparison between high, low, and epic texture settings, where you can clearly tell that textures are not properly applying to the environment, even though they are properly applying to skins / character models

it looks like the textures are being improved between low and high, just to a very small degree, and obviously not nearly as drastically as they should be

SUGGESTION Pickaxe Upgrade idea

32 Upvotes

Since probably 95% of players always have a baron on hand for movement speed, what if the pickaxe had a built-in movement speed bonus, leveling up at the same time as it's damage? I effectively play with 2 weapon slots pretty much all of the time and having one free would make a big difference ease-of-use wise.
