Fortnite Save the World | v28.30 Homebase Status Report

Heya Commanders! v28.30 in Save the World focuses on Hero balance adjustments to shake up your roster, and fixes for some long-standing issues the community has reported.  All Perk adjustments detailed below affect both the Standard Perk version and Commander Perk version, unless otherwise stated. Let’s take a look!

Hero Balance Changes

Cloaked Shadow

• Increased Corrupted Aura’s base damage.

Staredown Southie

• Reduced the time between shots for Bear Stare.

Fireflower Eagle Eye

• Increased the base damage of the fireworks for Parting Gift.

Tricera Ops Ramirez

• Saurian Vigor has a shorter time between heals.

Black Knight Garridan

• Knight’s Impact now also reduces the cooldown of Goin’ Constructor for each elimination with hardware.

Red Willow

• Increased the base damage of Holiday Surprise.

Sentinel Hype

• Going And Going increases D.E.C.O.Y.’s duration even longer.

Warden Kyle

• B.A.S.E. M.D. provides increased base Health regen.
• B.A.S.E. M.D. now also provides Energy regen.
• A heal-over-time effect now persists for a few seconds after stepping away from the B.A.S.E. structure.

Venturion

• Blast Kick now deals increased base damage, and its damage type is now Energy.
• The Standard version of the Blast Kick Perk now also fires all five projectiles.

Prickly Patroller Ramirez

• Increased the overall damage of Prickly.
• The Standard version of Prickly now also gives enemies Affliction damage over time, similar to the Commander version of the Perk.

Blakebeard

• Reduced the number of Cannonball Grenades and Coconuts that drop from Blakebeard’s Stash at a time, and limited how many can be held at once.
  • Chests now despawn after one minute.
• Moment-to-moment gameplay with Blakebeard’s Stash should feel largely the same: a grab bag of fun items falling out of enemies to keep your damage and Health high, while not reducing the challenge of missions at lower difficulties.
  • As part of this change, we added an option for players to refund their resources invested into their current Blakebeard if they wish.
• Peg Legs break faster, more closely match the Power Level of the current mission, and only six can be held at a time.
  • If you open a Chest while already holding six, a bonus Cannonball Grenade and Coconut drop instead.

Improvements and Bug Fixes

• We’ve separated the Filter and Sort selections for Perk Loadouts. You can choose between the current Auto sort, or sort alphabetically.
• The Contender now properly stuns enemies, and the stun has been increased to persist for a short time after enemies have been knocked back.
• The Primal Shotgun’s Frenzy Perk for eliminating a Mist Monster now persists after switching weapons.
• Bull Rush now more consistently grabs Husks that are very close to you.
• Fixed an issue where the Headshot Explosion Perk was not working as intended for some weapons.
• The Structure Healing Perk now works correctly for Traps.
• Downed Chrome Husks no longer attach themselves to a player when heavy-attacking them with Sir Lancelot.
