It still has a use left. What a sad downfall.

I am always experimenting with off meta weapons, heroes, and team perks, and currently testing Grave Feather in support of some of my builds and thought I’d share one of my favorite super off meta loadouts. Everything is very synergistic and works off eachother. I’m max level Offense 5,678 and everyone is PL144 so your numbers may be different from mine

ED-EE has a massive damage bonus when you crit with a shield, Bio-Energy gives you shield when you use energy. Spamming the heavy attack on melee weapons uses energy which keeps your shield up, combined with Energy Siphon means you should always be taking full advantage of ED-EEs perk. Rapid charge keeps the energy abundant, Anatomy lessons with the Armageddon as I’ve perked it a 60.5% chance to crit, and each heavy attack has 2 hits, so you’re almost guaranteed to explode on at least one of them, and often on both hits. Constructors have a ton of health so Paleo Luna really shines in support for the massive damage bonus. Especially since your shield is always regenerating, meaning you’ll very rarely lose any health, so her bonus is always max and is effective in the event you don’t get a crit. I replaced Corrosive Strikes with Grave Feather at the cost of -8% HAD, -1.75k shield but +6k health. Both heroes work great in this loadout but I’ve been getting roughly +5k or more combat totals per mission with Grave.

TLDR; you spam the heavy attack every swing, almost guaranteed crits, almost always full health and shield. 2 weapons to play with, both insanely strong and fun in this loadout. Staccato Shotto defenders work great with melee loadouts for getting riot husks to drop their fridge shields. Try it out

What I mean is that I feel like high end twine peaks are lacking in challenge. I feel like there isn’t enough heavy units on the battlefield. Like, I can understand if it’s lower twine. But 160 missions? Why are there only spawning 3-4 smashers in a wave?

I think high end twine endurance waves and deliver the bomb enemy density would be much better suited for high end twine. Hell, I would even say that we need like 20 mist monsters simultaneously on the field for something to happen.

So I am wondering, why do regular mission keep being so tame? Why aren’t we being pressured by larger numbers of heavy units, especially at 160?

I remember before halloween, Clip sidequest was available to play, but i wasn't able to complete it on time. Now, it's been replaced along with Wolfy Bussiness too. Is there any chance they'll be back before the end of Fortnitemares?

Hey Epic / STW team,

Can we please get a reset feature for Founder’s weapons?

Right now if you evolved a Founder’s weapon to Brightcore years ago, you’re permanently locked into that element. There’s no way to change it to Sunbeam (or anything else). A lot of us made those decisions when we were younger / didn’t fully understand the long-term impact, and now we’re stuck with a noticeably weaker endgame option.

When Epic makes big changes to a weapon (reworks, balance passes, etc.), you already give players a free reset so they can fix their perks. A similar one-time (or limited) reset for Founder’s weapons that lets us change the element would be perfect.

I don’t think this would cause any real issues — it just lets people who want to fix an old decision actually do so. Being permanently locked into Brightcore on a Founder’s weapon feels pretty rough in 2026.

I think we would all really appreciate this quality-of-life change. Thanks for reading.

Whenever you invite someone on your friends list to an already started mission you'll be stuck infinitely on preparing to join mission, unless you leave STW and reload it on the person who joins.

My backpack is almost always full, so to pick up traps that have quartz crystal in them (a crafting mat I am always running low on), I drop temporarily weapons to pick up them up and recycle 'em.

On this mission (PL88 Evac), I do the same thing I always, temporarily dropping a Founder's Desconstructor that I got long before trading was disabled to pick up the trap, something I've done dozens of times w/o a problem. Only THIS TIME, after I drop it, my backpack and UI glitch up, preventing me from doing anything except move around and access the menus. Couldn't shoot, swap weapons, emote place traps, activate Abilities, activate the hover board, pick up items, drop even more items, etc, as you can see in the vid. WHAT TF happened here? It stayed like this until the end of the mission (which we won of course).

I’m looking for an iPhone Fortnite Wallpaper. I want it to be a black background with an X-ray Loot Llama in the middle. I want the color of the Llama to be in a bright neon green. (Velocity Green if you’re an Xbox person). I’ve included a photo of what I want it to look like, just with the designs I described. The second photo basically is what I’m looking for, but it’s a screenshot of a hoodie. The dimensions don’t work.

currently running a build that should proc it roughly any time i take or dish out damage. Just wondering if there is a more consistent build out there i haven't thought about that heavily revolves around phantasms.

So, I was curious to see if anyone made any viable builds for these two abilities, and, turns out...

These two can be absolutely busted if they have an build centered around them, and are extremely fun

I tested them myself, the going contructor build allowed me to put the hurt on minibosses, and basically never die, and its very good in ventures as well (seriously this build is badass, it was a power fantasy because it was like being a brute that soaked all damage and killed with zero effort)

The Rosie build was very fun too, I felt like a grunt shooting artillery, and no ammo was wasted!

So...why does nobody ever use them? I'm power lvl 134 on the account is tested these on, and I did today's lvl 140 mission with going contructor with zero trouble, so it can't be that they dont scale well

Happens every mission so i guess they messed up the Animation witch they brought Back not a long time ago

okay i just logged into my old account and i dont remember which stw i bought is there a way to tell ? im able to earn 100 vbucks from one of the quests but idek how to do ts 😭

The bug is painfully simple. The mode just doesn't load. Nothing ever happens while it is loading like that. It doesn't have any specific triggers. Sometimes it happens, sometimes the game loads perfectly fine. It can happen twice, thrice, quadrice in a row (I bloody counted). Or can not happen for hours.

Once again, hopefully, the devs see this and fix it.
