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

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).

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.

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.

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 😭

I’ve recently just got back into STW and currently level 91 on Twine peaks SSD3. I used to use grave digger but it’s just not the same anymore. What should I be using to be the strongest?

Welcome to Mentor Monday, a thread where anyone can ask any type of question without the fear of getting deathly glares by a passing Blaster!

I couldn't find anywhere that mentions it but does it work? Like when it spawns the phantasm does it trigger the team perk?

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

I stopped playing STW back in the middle of chapter 2, and I am absolutely lost now. The new lobby is a bit disorienting with how dark it is, and I honestly cant remember the last thing I did or how to work certain parts of the game (along with the other things I never actually figured out how to do)

Like in comparison to someone brand new, I have an abundance of resources and items and pretty gnarly home base me and a friend built, but I just completely lost touch. Should I just watch beginners guides? Or try to find others to play with?

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.

As you can see, the mission is finished, we have won and are now on the Victory Screen.

I press "Matchmake into the Homebase" and wait for the game to return me. After some time of waiting, the general Fortnite loading screen appears.

It "loads" (something, presumably) then disappears.

... And there I am again, back at Victory screen location, but without the Victory screen UI and with the combat UI instead.

No option to leave, cannot call options/social tab, I can only do the thing that can be done in both Victory screen and in mission itself: call emote wheel and emote.

Hope this reaches the devs and gets fixed soon.

I fear I’m a bit too late, but I’ll still ask… I do not play battle royale at all, but I wanted to get the skins for the Save the World PVE for whenever I get around to playing it again… are these skins available though? I was finally able to get on today and checked the shop, I did not see any of the Persona collab. Just FNAF, Hazbin, etc.

Idk how often they switch out collabs so I felt like it was worth asking.

This update made new party system and Hestia even worse, it keeps switching my party to fill anytime a teammate joins me for Ventures, and then often bugs out, the member joins party but not the "experience" (awful experience btw). Sends teammate to BR lobby and then the Join Save the World button doesn't work.

Is this already vibecoded as well? I wish the game had stayed like a year ago, no updates at all!

PSA: the only solution I found is to organize the team on BR and only then "Ready" and go to Save the World. Smh.

Haven’t done many 160s but when I look at the Reddit ppl used to always either recommend Kyle build or zenith build. Is zenith still op in 160s? If so is xenon bow still recommended weapon after all the nerfs? If zenith is still good please lmk the best loadout to run for it. Any other 160 meta loadout recs would be appreciated as I just do fill for matchmaking.

my pl is low b/c i dont have the mats to upgrade all my survivors to 130
