“

Take part in new and unique Stormshield mission Simulations to put your skills to the test!

”

Wargames is a Game Mode in Fortnite: Save the World, that was added in Update v9.00. It is a Storm Shield Simulation that involves defending the Storm Shield and an Amplifier with unique modifiers.

Simulations

Simulations[]

Each Simulation requires the players to defend their base for seven minutes. A random Amplifier is then selected to defend for another seven minutes.

List of Simulations
Icon	Name	Description
	Torn Apart	A tornado is wreaking havoc on your fort! This simulation causes destruction to your structures, flinging players and enemies into the air.
	Hot Spots	Volcanic ruptures plague this simulation as lava pools sprout from the ground, damaging structures, and converting enemies into the Fire element.
	Denied	During the course of this simulation, more and more anomaly rifts appear around the defense point. Standing too close to these hazards will sap your health!
	Safety Zone	With the main Storm Shield down, you will have to rely on portable shield generators. Stay inside one of these protective bubbles or feel the effects of the Storm. Enemies will prioritize destroying the shield generators first so keep them protected!
	Mist Pods	Husk Pods appear around the map, and players must destroy them as soon as they appear. If the Pod hatches, an Epic Mini-boss is spawned.
	Space Rocks	Meteors will fall from the sky and damage players, husks and buildings. They need to be shot down to prevent them from doing any Damage.
	Hexed	Your character becomes cursed and your health starts draining. You will need to locate Aztec Statues around the Storm Shield to remove this curse.
	Meltdown	The storm shield emits a cloud of radiation that expands over time, damaging players.
	Quantum Countdown	A bomb that teleports every few minutes spawns in. Defend it from Husks or it'll explode and destroy your buildings when destroyed!
	Invasion	A UFO invades the sky above your Storm Shield, blasting your defenses, and beaming down an Epic Zapper or Gunslinger Mini-boss. Destroy that spinning saucer to give your defenses a breather… but like every bad sequel, it will return!
	Double Trouble	Two Invulerable Smashers spawn in and periodically switch between targeting you and your fort.
	Shortcut	Doors that act like teleporters periodically appear. They teleport husks way too close to your base. Destroy them!

Challenges

Challenges[]

If the simulations aren't challenging enough, players can apply one of the Challenge modifiers for bonus rewards.

List of Challenges

	No Building Zone	No building, no repairs, and no pickaxe.
	Heavy Explosives	Huskies explode when eliminated. Eliminate them before they get too close!
	Trapped Out	All of your traps are disabled and none can be placed in this challenge.
	Full Time	Time Cheats don’t appear in this simulation challenge.
	Surprise	The Wargames simulation is randomized and will swap to a different one in the second wave.

Event: Wargames Boot Camp[]

Note: These Quests may or may not return in the future. Since the removal of the Mild Meadows Venture Zone in 2024, the seasonal LTM changed from Wargames Boot Camp to Dungeons. This change followed the introduction of Survive the Horde the previous year. Before Survive the Horde was added, Dungeons was the seasonal LTM for Scurvy Shoals. Therefore, Wargames had an open slot and returned to the Mild Meadows Venture Zone. Wargames Boot Camp's fate is currently unknown.

Timeline Changes[]

These are one-time Quests that were made available weekly, and would grant the player Lunar Tickets and Wargames Banners.

Dialogue[]

Intro[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Intro	Welcome to Wargames, soldier.
Denied	Do not go near those anomalies, rookie! No touchy!
Double Trouble	In the world of this simulation, smasher husks are invincible! It's as terrifying as it sounds!
Invasion	Alright. Which one of you jokesters likes aliens? Answer me!
Meltdown	Not sure this simulation cleared health or safety regulations... Don't eat anything while you're in there.
Quantum Countdown	Teleporting Bombs. Well, this wasn't in basic boot camp... but I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Shortcut	Quickest point from A to B is not always a straight line. Uh... I will let the simulation explain.
Jungle's Reach	Attack on Jungle's Reach. Haven't seen that one since... well, nevermind.
"V-Mail"	It has come to my attention that I have opened not my V-Mail, but the Global Disaster Simulation. Sorry, soldier.
Button	I'm not sure what that button did, but I'm guessing you're in for a wild ride, rook.
Dials and Monitors	I do not understand half these dials and monitors, but it seems like you’ve got some strange stuff coming your way.
Horror Gulch	Horror Gulch? Who loaded up Horror Gulch?! I mean, uh, you'll be fine, rook.
Memory Kernal	Hey! Uh, yeah. You with the glasses. What’s a “memory kernel ik54 error?” Ooh, yeah. That’s bad.
Western Reach	“Western Reach Simulation has not been cleared for use...” I'm sure that's just boiler plate.
Torch Tower	Hey! It says Torch Tower is loading. That's a glitch right? Like, uh... like a bug?
Twinecano	Twinecano? Oooh. Well, just pretend you're me, soldier.
Intro (Unused)	Do not let the cutesy name fool you. This is no game.
	In this highly realistic simulation, we will be staging battles to test your brain, your guts, and your mind.
	Though your defenses will not be in real danger, the combat will put you through the ringer.
	Your fort is saved when you start the mission. And any damage or modifications will be undone after the mission.

Victory[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Victory	Well, well. Guess I owe THERAPY-Bot twenty bucks. Nice work, rookie.
	Soldier, I am proud of you. Not like, throw you a parade-proud, but you did good.
	Hah, exactly like how I would've done it.
	Enough celebrating. Drop and give me twenty. I'm just kidding, just make it ten.

Defeat[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Defeat	Still got a lot of work ahead of us, rookie. Better luck next time.
	A good craftsman never blames his tool. A good major never blames his soldiers.
	Let's call that a practice round, shall we, soldier?
	I suppose I've still got a lot to teach you.

Status[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
DBNO	You can't get yourself back in the game. You'll need your teammates to bring you back.
	Soldier, get your teammate back on his, her, or their feet.
	Storm fighter down. Correct this, soldier.
	We do not give up on our teammates. Get them on their feet.
	A member of your team needs aid, rook.
Team Down	It’s just you left, soldier. We’re counting on you.
	Don’t you give up out there. Go! Fight! Win!
	I don’t want to put pressure on you... but you’re the last one standing, soldier.
	Keep your head down. It’s just you out there.

Time Cheats[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Hint	Wanna shorten the simulation timer? Then keep your little peepers peeled for Time Cheats!
Hint	If you want to shorten that wave timer, then get some Time Cheats on the double!
Picked Up	Simulation time has been reduced! Nice work, rook.
	Love the smell of fresh Time Cheat.
	Didn’t I tell ya? Simulation timer shortened.

Wave 2[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Wave 2	Fine work. Let's see how you do when one of your Amplifiers is under attack.
	That's wave one down. Just one more defense point to go.
	Move, move, move. Defense point is moving to one of your Amplifiers.
	Don't get too comfy. Defense point is moving to one of your Amplifiers.

Challenges[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Close Quarters	Now for the real challenge. Close Quarters modifier activated.
Full Time	Time cheats aren't working anymore, rook. You gotta do the full time.
Head Games	Headshots only for these creeps, soldier. Aim careful now.
Heavy Explosives	Heavy Explosives mode. Watch out for exploding Huskies. Those suckers are gassy.
Low Visibility	How do you feel about low visibility? Because I can't get it turned off.
No Building Zone	No building zone is active. That means no building. Oh, and you can't use your pickaxe. Good luck.
Surprise	How do you feel about surprises? Because I have no idea what it means when the computer says that.
Trapped Out	Let's take off the training wheels on this one, and clear out those pesky traps.

Modifiers[]

Type	Subtitle	Audio
Denied	We have got rifts. Look out.
Denied	You enjoy that anomaly slurping down your life force, rookie? I didn't think so.
Double Trouble	Those Smashers are invulnerable, soldier. So just avoid them like a handsy cousin at a family reunion.
	Just when you thought those things couldn't get nastier.
	It's invulnerable, rookie. That means your gun is about as useful as a fort in a pumpkin patch.
Hexed	I do not believe in curses. Except for a case like this. Sorry, soldier.
Hexed	That curse hasn't killed you yet. But don't get cocky.
Hot Spots	Unless you want a major hot foot, do not step on that lava, rookie.
Hot Spots	Fun fact. Lava turns Husks into Fire elementals. Well, we all learned something today.
Invasion	These flying objects have been identified as threats. Watch your step.
Invasion	Alien attack. This is not a drill.
Meltdown	That's what we call an inverted Storm Shield. It's radioactive, it grows and it makes it nearly impossible to see. Have fun.
Meltdown	Now what have we learned about radiation spheres? Not to touch them, that's right.
Mist Pods	I'm not sure what a mist pod is, but we're about to find out together.
Mist Pods	Attention, soldier! Those mist pods can hatch at any minute. Smash 'em!
Quantum Countdown	That bomb's health is already half-empty. No, I do not mean half full.
Quantum Countdown	Those are... yeah, those are teleporting bombs, rook. Exactly what it says on the ten.
Shortcut	Oh, good, good. Teleporting husks. We better find that access point fast.
Shortcut	Teleporting husks. Just when you thought the skull-faced creeps couldn't get any worse.
Space Rocks	Soldier, those space rocks are doing a number on your fort.
Space Rocks	Unless you wanna get crushed by rocks from space, I would move.
Torn Apart	That's why you wanna stay away from tornadoes, rookie.
Torn Apart	I would stay away from that twister if I were you, solider. Nasty business.
