Save the World v39.40 Update Notes[]

See Also: Communities

Howdy all! This update includes progression tweaks based on your feedback, along with a set of bug fixes. Read on for details!

Updates, Changes and Improvements[]

Power Rating Progression Update[]

We’ve heard your feedback on the recent Power Rating changes and made more adjustments to better reflect your progression. Since update v39.00, Power Rating has been calculated using:

• Total F.O.R.T. stats
• Survivor Squads
• The rating of the Heroes in your active Hero Loadout
• The top three highest-rated weapons in your Backpack

With this update, Power Rating will now also factor in your top three Weapon Schematics alongside the weapons currently in your Backpack. The game will then automatically select the top three highest-rated weapons across both sources when calculating your Power Rating.

This means your Power Rating should now better reflect your total investment and progression, even when your strongest weapons aren’t actively carried.

ICYMI: Ventures remain unchanged and will continue using the previous Power Rating calculation based solely on F.O.R.T. stats.

Bug Fixes[]

• Wall Launcher Traps can once again send Husks flying. Yeet!
• The mantling/hurdling sound effect volume has been adjusted to match other experiences.
• Fixed an issue where some abilities could be repeatedly activated while on cooldown, sometimes consuming Energy without fully activating.
• Interact/Reload will no longer fail when a weapon mag is not fully loaded.
• Hotwire’s Overcharge (+) Perk now consistently triggers lightning damage when swinging the hammer.
• Inspecting certain Heroes on the Manage screen will no longer result in missing head textures.

Known Issues[]

• Players may notice an obsolete Research tab has reappeared in the Command menu. Pressing the Research button within the tab has no effect and does not impact F.O.R.T. stats.
  • This will be fixed in the next major game update.
• Player-built structures may not finish their build animation - Trello
• Certain weapons' firing animations may continue after shooting - Trello
• Players are currently unable to purchase multiple Armory Slots in the Llamas tab - Trello
• The Ancient's Launcher fires instantly after aiming - Trello
• The “X has joined the team” notification still displays Power Level and F.O.R.T. stat increase text, even though these stats no longer change when players join a party.
• [Simple Edit] UI does not update to reflect the reset after editing a structure.
• [Xbox One] Directional Jump Pads won’t activate when Phase Shifting onto them.
• The Hero Commander Buckle+ Perk currently provides reduced effective damage as weapon level increases.
• The player character may sometimes use an incorrect arm-sweep animation when interacting with world objects.
