Save the world is pay to play and battle royale is free to play. Explain to me how that screen didn't separate the two.

Because you have to log in to 'both' before you can click through to the PvE mode so the queue is for both services.

You mean nice that millions of people are playing a free game bankrolled by EA purchases for a neglected PVE component who then have to sit in a queue before logging into the game with even less people playing now due to the fact that there's a queue?

Yea... nice.

But it was all worth it, because Bandwagon is playing now.

Right Palum Palum ?

Yes... Maybe...

Actually I've just been logging in to collect daily bonuses and skill points for quite a while you let the general population catch up and for Canny Valley to be finished.

Tried playing a few games yesterday, most of them no one even joined. Was a joke.

Next PvE Event is Thursday... no idea if it's going to be permanent or not. I'm assuming not permanent.

Horde Bash Announce


The Horde Bash update is coming on Thursday, Oct. 5, and along with some enraged husks, it brings a new mode, new weapons, new Heroes, and more!

Challenge The Horde Mode

It all starts in a staging area. You’ll have unlimited time, but limited resources to build a portable horde fort. Once you've designed the perfect fort, exit the staging area and party with up to three friends. Your forts will be ready for action when your team hits the ground. As you survive, you’ll receive more resources and more rewards to Challenge The Horde.

Scavenger Event

With the new update comes a new event llama. The Scavenger Llamas holds four new Heroes, nine weapons, two new Defenders. Earn the Scavenger currency by completing quests and playing the new Challenge The Horde mode. The Scavenger weapon set is delicate, but they’re all cheap to craft.

New Heroes

Introducing Scavenger Heroes with new, never-before-seen perks.

  • Raider Soldier - Loves the shotgun and close encounters.
  • Ammo Harvest Outlander - If you need ammo, this is your Hero.
  • Trap Specialist Constructor - Get a damage boost & durability boost.
  • Energy Thief Ninja - Generates and leeches energy from melee combat.
And More!

Along with modes, weapons, defenders and Heroes … the update includes over 25 new progressions quests with rewards that range from Scavenger tickets to Legendary items!

This is actually a mode I've been waiting for.

Hopefully no 4-hour long versions. I never even did a 2hr STS. Fuck that shit.

Might fire this back up and give it a try. My friends never really took to this game like I had hoped they would have, been hoping they'd change their minds but no luck yet. I may have a couple starter codes to pass out soon, seems silly to hold onto them for too much longer.

Lol, well if you do; i'm interested.

As much fun as BR is, I feel it still needs a lot of love specifically to get anywhere on its own. I just want to play the pve :c

I'd love a BR that has a little more focus on fort building.

Not a slow, 45 minute building time or anything. Just some kind of 4-corners, capture & hold the flag for X amount of time thing.

Always wanted to play a 3rd person BR game, but I haven't gamed on a PC in ages. This console peasant is having a blast playing this game. I still can't believe it's free

Horde bash is decent imho. its a better stormshield defense.

You have a persistent base you build. your base, +3 allies bases get loaded into every horde map. And, 10 rounds of attacks, which each focus a base.

You start with limited supplies for the persistent base. doing horde mode and leveling the horde mode skill tree, unlocks more materials to build the persistent base, or gives materials for guns/traps.
Each map, your carried materials are set to zero, and you get more mats every round. There is no harvesting. The materials per round allows new building, traps, etc. But these are all reset with a new game.

New heroes are easier to attain this one. 10 games per class for an epic of that class.
Scavenger weapons are also better then hydraulic. Scavenger weapons are high damage, low durability, cheap cost.

Bare in mind, you have to start from level 1. and it uses your regular heroes/schematics.
So, if you are in later zones, and leveled up all your gun schematics to use silver, malachite, etc. you cant use that schematic in the early horde, because you only get copper. which is annoying.

Probably a synergistic time for a new player to start playing, though, since they can level alongside the missions and won't have the "i scrapped my outdated schematics" issue

Still loving fortnite (regularly swapping between Rainbow6:Seige, BF4 & Fortnite), but I wish I could spend more time building my shield fort.

There's no way to wipe the slate clean and start over on my shield fort other than knocking it all down, right? How can I get more resources for my shield fort? Should I go run a regular mission and get 999 of all materials, then exit and go back into the shield defense mission?

I just did shield defense 5 and barely made it through. That's the first one I struggled with and I'm still a complete noob, but the mobs aren't attacking from the angles I thought they would and they're avoiding all of the traps I laid out.

Yea, keep in mind that Stonewood is"easy" and you don't need to worry much on it. You can level up, go back and do all the defenses kinda easily without building too much. I forget what level I was, but I did defense #10 with some random guy and duo'd it, I did try to fortify it but most of my layouts were shit.

In Plankerton you'll want to invest more resources. Every time i had 3k resources I'd dump them into the base. It's pretty op, iwent a little overboard lol. I was able to do defense #5 solo without much issue

more specifically. you start a NEW homedefense in each zone. so, plankerton is essentially a wipe. after your(and everyones) sucky stonewood.

How do i get to the bank? I've been running out of backpack space and deleting shit.

Ravishing Ravishing - do you always face your trap path "out"? I thought they would walk around the fort to get to the open door/tunnel, but nope. Dum dum dum.

They have a 3 tile pathing. they will travel 2 tiles left or right to the path of least resistance, towards the mission target. weakness or opening.

you can store things in the stormshield, by loaded it up manually. little point though. only real reason to do so, is to store building mats, which you dont want to build with "right now" for your stormshield. alternatively, just periodically go, and build whenyou are at 999 of mats. recycle extra shitty guns/traps. drop extra copper, etc.
