EPIC Save the World v42.30 Update Notes
Today’s update brings back the Bladey Acres Questline and the Raven Hero, with a new round of bugs squashed. Details below!

Bladey Acres Is Back
Summer camp is back in session - but so are the Slashers. Axes are flying at Shady Acres. Is it a threat? A cry for help?
Join Ray and Raven and investigate until October 28. Complete the Questline to earn the Raven Hero.
Raven
Brooding master of dark skies. This Mythic Soldier from the Blockbuster Heroes set makes Lefty and Righty hit harder, adding explosive hits at the Commander level.
Standard Perk: Bang and Pow
Increases Lefty and Righty damage to enemies by 25%.
Commander Perk: Bang and Pow+
Increases Lefty and Righty damage by 25%. Lefty and Righty causes explosions which deal 20 base Energy damage in a .5 tile radius.
Rumor around Homebase is that a certain… grave matter will need attending to soon. Oh, and keep some BluGlo handy…

QUESTION IDEA: Automatic loot recycler with individual selection.
A system separate from schematic recycling that automatically recycles collected items. To prevent the loss of valuable low-rarity materials (such as 1-star quartz), the filter would allow players to individually select or deselect exactly which items to keep in their backpack and which to auto-recycle, eliminating the need to manually clear out the inventory.

SUGGESTION Existing Founders should have the option to upgrade to the Ultimate Pack
Hi everyone,
I am an official Fortnite Save the World Founder. I love this game and I really regret not being able to upgrade my account to the Ultimate Edition back in 2020 to get the Nocturno schematic.
Since Save the World is now free-to-play, I think Epic Games should give existing Founders the opportunity to upgrade their packs.
We are not asking to sell Founder packs to new players, but just to let already verified Founders pay the price difference to complete their collection and unlock the Ultimate tier (including the Nocturno). It would be a great way for Epic to generate revenue and a huge win for loyal players who missed the deadline years ago.
What do you guys think? I hope some Community Managers can see this and pass the feedback to the team!

SUGGESTION We need a Hexsylvania Jam Track
Hello! Here is a great enthusiast of Halloween and, of course, Fortnitemares.
For years I have been wishing to get a Fortnite lobby music that evokes classic Halloween vibes without being mixed with genres like rap or pop.
Since the Hexsylvania music hasn't been played in years, releasing it as a Jam Track would be amazing for players who want the same. It could simply be called "Fortnitemares", since the first time we could play this event was in StW.
Please, Fortnite, give us the privilege of experiencing that music again by immortalizing it in our locker forever.

QUESTION How do y'all get vbucks every day outside daily quests?
Hi, I'm a founder and just recently discovered that you can get vbucks outside of Daily Quests and home base/regular challenges. How do I know how many of these mission alert V-bucks I can get daily? And is it worth trying to get them?

BUG Matchmaking Issues Needs To Be Fixed ASAP!!!
Ever since the Homebase Hub launched, there's been matchmaking issues. Today I experienced that you still can get stuck on mission end screen while your teammates leaving and you have to wait for the game to kick you out. Just to end up on selector screen in BR.
At this point I feel that the only thing that matters now, is getting rid of all these matchmaking issues that are caused by the Homebase Hub.
Btw, what is the purpose of the Homebase Hub, because it's damn hard to like something that only causing issues. Pls place it on the world map, so people can have the opportunity to decide for themselves whether to go there or not. Hopefully, you guys can figure out something useful for the Homebase Hub, but then either place it on the map or disabled it, so people can start to enjoy the game again.

QUESTION Is there some sort of place where Save the World's lore is documented?
I've been trying to look around recently on the internet for some source that properly explains and/or lays down the entire story and perhaps connecting the sub-storylines of save the world to the main questline. I had no luck on youtube for example as all I find is either videos talking about the development story of save the world, or how the battle royale ch1 lore connects to save the world, i havent really found any source that properly presented the story of fortnite save the world.
On a side note, I always fantasize about how amazing and successful an animated series of save the world's story would've been if only they kept the game in the spotlight, such wasted potential.

QUESTION Can't leave a mission like I used to after it ends
I play on PS5 and I rarely play the game lately. But for some reason when a mission ends, it won't let me leave the ending screen to put me back into the lobby. Like I have to wait several minutes while my teammates get to leave earlier than me. Is it a bug?

QUESTION should I use voucher on clip?
I don't see her questline available right now, but when I look at the collection book it says she's avaliable from event llamas during the halloween venture event so can I get her from those? should I just use the voucher?

QUESTION Are defenders too loud for anyone else?
I feel like they're louder than any other sound in the game and it gets really annoying running around a zone and just hearing an ear shattering amount of rifle fire

QUESTION Saved Load-out shuffling Bug
In any game mode i play while having my saved loadouts on shuffle they will not change unless i return to lobby. typically, if you ready up after a match with shuffle on you have a different character pop up in your next match, but
now that isn’t happening. They had a similar issue that wasn’t fixed for at least 2 years so i hope this isn’t the same. Can someone tell me if they are experiencing the same?
