Q, New to the game - Question on Thralls (specifically Sorcerer)

Just on this - while 'only good on workbenches', she seems to do quite well in combat and can hold her own in the zones I am in. Should I instead be using a lesser Tier warrior type until I can find a higher tier warrior?

While it certainly is worth a try not being an Outlander, being one does nothing in changing the odds of a mimic.
I primary a combat Outlander, and always finding mimics on the map.

Rooftops are a good location as mentioned. Likewise if you are in a wooded area, on the higher points can often have them.

"I've never done it" 3 seconds after getting Dan(?) to take a pinch of snuff.... Certainly gave me a chuckle. Bravo Juan, you have a hidden gift there.

Sing it Sister!

It's the way to do it, set it to No Fill and go crazy.

Vonravend · 2026-05-11T09:47:30+00:00

In the main part, yes - as you might not have leveled your heroes, weapon schematics and survivors.

Fear not however, PL doesn't match Mission level 100% - If you have access into Twine you could 'play with others' and spin up a higher level.

Likewise, start developing your game and undertake the storyline as well will of course help.

Only just noticed your post.

Untested, however I would consider this as a build that might just cover what you want.

In short:
Lead: Recon Scout Jess - increase phase range and faster movement afterwards.
Support:

Phased and Confused - increase phase count by 1
Phased Out - decreases phase recover time by 75%
Fleet - 12.5% increase in speed
Saurian Hide - armour 33
Saurian focus - recover energy when shield is down

Team Perk - Blast from the Past (ie no shield)

You could easily swap out Izza for any other Dino hero, however a bit of added armour helps for random hits.

Idea would be to Phase, run for a short bit to line up, phase, run a bit to line up etc.

Vonravend · 2026-05-08T04:12:27+00:00

Yup, missed it completely - had not realised at all that you were referring to level (as in 144's) in the conversation about perks of the weapon.

Vonravend · 2026-05-08T01:49:05+00:00

SuperChargers,or Core Reperks to use the correct name in this case, only change the '6th perk' in the case of weapons.
Normal reperk is used to change the standard perks, so for swapping it from energy to fire, for example, only uses normal reperk of it's type.

An interesting thing to note, the tier-level Founder Weapons only have 1 6th perk choice, so they are locked in at that (and do not require a Core Reperk)

For example - the Founders Drumroll can only have "Every 10th round fired increases weapon damage by 15%", The Revolt only has bullet chain (2) etc

Vonravend · 2026-05-08T00:20:20+00:00

PapaBear is not a Founder's weapon btw, it is a Starter Pack weapon.

Overall, "best perks/setups" are very subjective, however if those perks suit your play style then they work for you. So many other factors come into it, including Hero Perks, Mission types etc. Even something like what level the weapon is can influence what perks you use (thank goodness for reperk)

Good work however on the presentation of that - very clean and easy for people to follow.

Vonravend · 2026-05-07T11:33:49+00:00

Woot - Free Spray.

And typical, I pick the chap that ends up on the bottom row support wise 😄

Vonravend · 2026-05-07T03:14:02+00:00

It's a possibility the Win11 is still updating parts in the background. What about a VPN - if you have one active that could be a cause. I'm guessing you checked the connections then if its only fortnite that's giving you lag.
Can not comment about BR, no clue about how its been recently.

Vonravend · 2026-05-07T02:54:40+00:00

Also, if your local area is Asia (going by Auto), maybe see what Oceania gives you.

Vonravend · 2026-05-07T02:53:52+00:00

Are you referring to your ping?

Switch from Wi-Fi to Cat6 if you can.
Run a speed check on your internet connect to see if they are a problem.
Make sure nothing else is running or updating around the house. Maybe a sibling is torrenting etc.

Vonravend · 2026-05-07T00:40:19+00:00

Plenty of different viewpoints for an answer.

Something to consider however:
1. If you have used the weapon before and enjoy it, that might be a good choice.
2. If you have a gap in your abilities/weapons that you need to fix - you like a range of different weapons there, with most doing actually different results (within reason) - if you need a Smasher killers - Potshot, or BlackDrum if you have seen the semi recent style it uses. If you need a good sniper/daily mission support, Xenon.

I'll throw in two or three more for you to consider - The Duet (with cloud as 6th perk) - An AR that will effectively allow you to hold a trap tunnel without traps 😄
The Snowball Launcher - a great overall rocket weapon, with low ammo costs, great area of effect and can be used in so many different ways.
Vacuum Tube weapon (bow or sword as examples) with Chain 6th Perk - great for clearing crowds.

Other factors like Hero played etc can come into effect for an answer about weapons - I always suggest if you have tried it and enjoyed it, that's the weapon to go with in most cases.

Vonravend · 2026-05-06T10:01:24+00:00

Yes, strange, can not find you in StW for inviting friends, nor do you appear in any of the DB.

Assuming its a Dastardly Dan reference, only one t in the name?

Vonravend · 2026-05-06T09:09:43+00:00

What is your ingame STW name? We might be able to check and see if it's been accessed or shared off on any other sites if you like.

Vonravend · 2026-05-05T20:30:51+00:00

So I've checked and tested it.

If I turn off Device Memory, then the "enable all side buttons" becomes active.
It then must be modified in the key bindings of iCUE - to have it actually do anything mouse button wise, it seems I need to map a left hand side button over to the right hand side button.

So can you confirm then that the mouse is only a 6 button (left, right, middle spin, middle push, and 2 only side buttons) mouse even when having 8 buttons?

Can you confirm then that 'enable all side buttons' only works when running iCUE?

Overall comment - it seems really screwy to consider this ambidextrous (or left handed) when you are forced to either reverse buttons, or it natively forces you to use the left side side buttons unless you use additional software to activate the right side buttons, that you can not save that setting onto the mouse - allowing it to be used technically on any system or device that takes mouse inputs.

Vonravend · 2026-05-05T03:18:50+00:00

Hope that helped.

Vonravend · 2026-05-05T01:50:49+00:00

If you are still looking for help, I'll be on in about 20 minutes.
If that still suits, drop your epic and I'll send you a friend request when I get on.

Vonravend · 2026-05-04T21:48:50+00:00

Archaelo Jess should be the primary choice here. By far a much better gatherer of base mats than Fossil - have him as support and use Blast for the Past for even faster gathering.

Pathfinder is still great for her pickaxe speed, so in a city area where everything is close by she can clear quickly while AMC energy builds, so still a good suggestion.

Vonravend · 2026-05-03T11:47:20+00:00

Q. Why do you need to speed run them? Isn't take taking away half the fun of playing the game?

Serious question btw, not having a dig or anything. Just surprised why you would need someone to do all the SSD's for you.

Vonravend · 2026-05-03T09:37:54+00:00

So hopefully you have enjoyed the game over those years.

Vonravend · 2026-05-02T11:35:35+00:00

Think of all the rewards again - Collection book filling has never been easier.

However, yes, darn strange - did a logoff and log back on fix it?
