i think everyones noticed that in the past few months epic has just been doing things to make the game more tedious to play. with the matchmaking and nerfs being the most prevalent. when you really think about it why would they keep the game alive? theres almost no place for profit. the gamemodes free and if they put in microtransactions & removed vbucks everyone would complain. the people working on the game are also professional devs who have decades of experience. surely they can do a better job, with the matchmaking especially. and the little new quests they keep adding that started with hunt the titan is a tiny bit of content they make with almost no effort in order to make the playerbase think they care. and wont suspect that theyre actually just purposefully killing the game in the long term. the stw community is one of the best ive been apart of because after years of little to no content they still stick around. but eventually everyone will be worn out with these unnecessary updates that only serve to make the game slower. like the homebase.

My current soldier build is a Rabbit Raider Jonesy, but I'm considering making one with the new Grave Feather hero.

What are y'all's recommendations on builds?

(Perk and hero build recommendations for the shredder build would also be greatly appreciated. My current one was just made off of vibes)

These are my current load outs for each hero class and was wondering if their was anything I can do to improve them

I think neither of these ideas would require a lot of effort to make but they would greatly improve the experience, at least for me!

1.

We should be able to "connect" a skin to each Hero Loadout. Right now if you have a skin equipped it's used all the time, no matter what Loadout you use. If you would be able to "connect" a skin to each Loadout it would also change automatically.

For example I'd like to use Red Ruin Joni for a Ninja loadout but for a Minigun build I'd rather use something like Megalo Don. At the moment I need to manually change the skin each time I change loadouts. Not a big issue but it would be really nice to have.

2.

We should be able to put skins on our Defenders. It would be really nice to have matching Defenders to our Commander (or skin). Like imagine using Darth Vader while having Stormtrooper defenders, or anything really, the possibilites are endless lol

This could end up in buying skins I wouldn't use for myself but I would for my Defenders.

3.

At the moment your Hotbar is shared across every Loadout. If you have a lot of Loadouts this can make it hard to remember which weapon belongs to which loadout, so I think the Hotbar (the 3 slots you can access without opening the inventory) should be unique to each Loadout.

I wonder what other non teddy perks in the game affects Teddy. For instance, the Rockin Riff works on Teddy, I used battle beat to trigger it but forgot sub wafers also do it, making that instead more reliable to trigger it as you can use it any time before deploying Teddy. Cyberclop's plasma arc affects energy related things, including the turret meaning it will proc his perk. Grave Feather's hero perk Ghoulslinger affects Teddy when using Jilly Teacup's under Warranty as the crits count triggering the phantasms, and Under Warranty I believe does affect the lasers that come out of Staredown Southie's perk Bear Stare, not sure how it works if it needs to be the exact second Teddy finds a new target or not, but I did notice it did a chunk of damage on a husky. I'm not sure if that is all of it but let me know if I am missing any.

if we can get starter packs now in the birthday llamas that means we can get pink teddy bear now?

Honestly is the most difficult challenge souly because of how many missions and how much time needed to get it done!

I see a lot of people promoting the gammatron 9000, but I saw that the plasmatron also seems to have the same gimmick.

I'm trying to get a good weapon for my defenders (right now they have siegebreaker, little instrument of destruction, and room sweeper)

If it matters, I'm currently running a TEDDY build with Madcap in the lead, but I might switch to Cyberclops

Any suggestions on what perks to use are also appreciated!

1. If you are loading from the general lobby and feeling that it is taking too long, close Fortnite, then enter again. Once you are in the BR lobby again, play a BR match. Worked for me every single time as far as I recall.

2. If you've selected a mission, but the loading failed and you are back at the Homebase, your PL is 1 and you can't select a mission other than Play With Others, select it and the matchmaking, then cancel it. The PL change is only visual, the game considers your actual PL to be your PL. That way you'll have freedom of choice of mission again.

How about this idea: each player could have a shop in their own base where they could sell weapons, traps, or any other type of item to other players in exchange for gold? Perhaps with a dedicated matchmaking system to let you visit a random player's shop. Alternatively, for those who wish to trade without using gold—provided that both parties have items the other needs—there could be a button in this same shop that opens a trading screen; for the trade to go through, both players must click "confirm."
Let me know what you think

Ever since grave feather released i've been using a 5 second cooldown lefty and righty build, and one perk i've been using with it is Dashing hawk's "Absolutely stunning" for the stun, assuming it would be a huge help for bigger threats, like smashers. Recently i've noticed after loading into an overleveled dungeon match is that the stun isn't actually working. It shows the stun stars over the husk/mist monster's head as an indication that it should be stunned, but they continue to walk/run/smasher charge without interruption as if the effect didn't exist.

Recipe: Planks (x8), Mechanical Parts (x3), Batteries (x3), BluGlo (x2).

Effects:

Has two different modes that can be selected from the Trap panel:

1. Creates a field inside of which the damage of all friendly entities is increased by 20% (5 tile radius). Activation Cost: 2 Bluglo. Effect Duration: 120 seconds.

2. Upgrades selected Defender or Tamed Wildlife entity. Upgraded Defenders have their level increased by 15 until the end of the mission. Upgraded Tamed Wildlife has their Health, Travel and Attack Speeds increased by 30% until the end of the mission. Upgrade can only happen once per entity. Activation cost: 2 Bluglo per entity.

Notes:

This is a tie-in to the BluGlo-related stuff I've started doing. BluGlo is currently underutilised. So I am thinking of ways to use it more dynamically. And here is a support trap concept.

Off-topic, but Suggestion Saturday is limited to Hero Concepts only. So Trap Concepts are not prohibited. Right, mods?

The picture is a quick mockup by me, made in Krita. I usually draw on my drawing tablet, but I didn't feel like using it, so this one was drawn with KBM. Which tracks. Because it looks quite plain and basic.

So i've had this problem for a while now and thought it may be useful to post about it.

Sometimes when i open the "loot" section of the "exchange" tab, it flashes that i have 394 unopened lama's, and i don't know what to do to open them, i tried spamming X to open, but to no avail...

I hope someone has an answer or a relatable problem to help.

I will put a video in my post so you can see for yourself. The slow part is filmed at 0.1X, so the alert is only viewable for like 5 frames.

Epic ~ please fix.
