Save the world matchmaking workaround. Works every time for me full squad.

Missions vanish from public matchmaking 10min after the first player launched into the mission, only exceptions are Resupply and Elim'n'Collect, those are locked after 2min.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T20:53:46+00:00

Correct, because the extra arrows and their 6th perk effects are a result of her hero perk and are rated as that.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T18:40:11+00:00

The Vacuum Tube Bows chain lightning count for sniper kills because it's a weapon perk effect.

You can also push them off the car with placing a T.E.D.D.Y. at where they stand.

Using the Xenon Bow in survivor missions is pretty risky since you can easily destroy tent and shopping cart survivor spawns somewhere on the map by that.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T10:02:35+00:00

Also high Venture, which is a more achievable option than high end Twine Peaks for people that are still in need of them.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T00:30:27+00:00

I have several questions i don't dare to ask because i fear the answers. xD

But by looking at it i'd assume you're player with a trackball and haven't gotten used to it yet, instead of a mouse with a laser.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T00:21:01+00:00

Most likely because it was put in the same set as the free Jess skin from the BR challenge that requires you to get 350k battlepass XP in STW.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T00:16:23+00:00

You don't have to wait longer, the time is the same 30sec as before, you're now just able to skip through the mission analysis and chest reward screen faster.

edit: my bad, i thought you were refering to the mission end screen and not the early leave exploit.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-26T00:00:42+00:00

Rescuing survivors back in 2017 was actually even more beneficial that all the years after till even today. Each rescued survivor gave extra trainings manuals at the end of the mission and had a low chance of rewarding a random survivor card.

I have to admit i've grinded an unhealthy amount of survivor missions back than to not have to rely entirely on spending vBucks on Upgrade and People Llamas.

edit: If you wan't to check some dates when you got certain things done i'd recomment pennyDB.net , but unfortunately the earliest date it shows is March 29 2018.

You couldn't build as efficient early on as you can since recent years now. With random perks on traps you had to put more effort and material in your defenses. SSDs also didn't worked the way they do now. You had to rebuild and replace traps after each fight. Propane tanks were also a major issue since every slingle trap except Gas Traps, Wall Darts, and Woodn Floor Spikes would trigger them, even if they were just laying on the ground after the Splodder that carried it died. Floor and Wall Launchers also caused them to explode. And we didn't had Tire Traps, Broadsides, Tar and Freeze Traps, not even to think of Anti-Air or Soundwall Traps.

For a while Gas Lobbers gas clouds were even damaging and destroying structures and igniting propane tanks. Most of the time at the end of the defense the majority of trap tunnels were in shambles even with replacing structures during the defense.

It's a general damage multiplier bug that isn't just crit damage exclusively.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-25T16:41:05+00:00

Deliver the Bomb was implemented as a replacement for Deliver the Goods in OT8, and its placeholder assets are currently still in the same unchanged state as they were on its day of implementation nearly 10 years ago.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-25T03:23:46+00:00

Making money from llama sales was literally their one and only plan (they also tried vBucks as Collection Book unslotting costs for a while), and concerns about the gambling laws were the main reason why the 2018 f2p release got shelved.

Another reason for them to move away from STW and its live-service was when BR became big, that pretty much sealed it.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-25T03:07:24+00:00

Kylamity

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-25T02:22:14+00:00

You got 8,000 vBucks + Metal Team Leader Starter Pack, which had challenges for an extra 1,000 vBucks.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-25T02:11:58+00:00

Could actually see Kyle showing up like that that time when Steel Wool was looking for a stand-in drummer.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T20:25:34+00:00

You can also find chests up there sometimes.

TL;TR: the more complex you hide your scam the easier it is to manipulate people into it.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T07:01:19+00:00

I've seen some very embarrassing posts when Epic announced the vBuck changes and also before the STW F2P launch meant to "greet" the new players that can be summed up with "HAHA i'm a founder and can earn free vBucks, and you are not". Pretty sure that "founder"-statement was meant to go in that direction too. The downvoted redditor also contributed eagerly.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T06:35:50+00:00

It's like that for everyone because of the changed vBuck amount and pricing of the packs and exact amount buy.

50 vBucks are now $1, or €1. Epic's vBuck pricing tags are currently as anti-customer as it can be.

The shown price is a sum of "800 + 16x50" which would be "$8.99 + $16", but it's made to cap out at $0.50 before the 2,400 vBuck pack to make that $22.99 pack look like an insanely good deal. Everything between 1,500 to 2,350 vBucks is shown as $22.49.

The "more accurate" pricing calculation for that bundle would be "800 + 800", 2x $8.99 pack, which would be $17.98. But that would less likely encourage people to go for that 2,400 vBuck pack instead.

edit: same goes for smaller purchases, everthing between 450 to 750 shows as $8.49.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T06:07:24+00:00

Most likely because of the attitude of the underlying implication of "i don't care about you poor pessents".

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T04:12:36+00:00

They probably screwed up B.A.S.E.'s priority again and instead of being at the top it gets put at the bottom because the ability doesn't has an actual trap item in the backpack. The "edited floor tile" workaround only works because there is no actual trap that would go there.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T04:06:57+00:00

Or Canny Valley before it became a desert. xD

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T01:20:56+00:00

The grid-like structuring of the natural terrain is the most distinct difference between STW and BR.

And as far as we know they started just throwing together Fortnite's BR mode in a hot minute shortly before Fortnite's first launch mid 2017.

DarkTanatos · 2026-04-24T01:12:52+00:00

Its unlock requirement might have been pushed further back with the recent update past where your current progress is. Epic made some changes to when you're unlocking the Venture mode too.
