QUESTION Since Xenon Bow and Anti Material Charge no longer work for completing dailies, is there any other fast way to completely dailies now?

Maybe there is some other workaround to destroy some objects on the map? If you know something, please let me know. :)

PSA/GUIDE My personal solo method for new rift missions & any miniboss

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

I have been using this loadout for a while for any soloing minibosses, but my goto weapons are the black drum with double crit rating & double reload, and a bright core love song bow. The love song bow, when drawn past max, will stun ANY miniboss for 10 seconds. Using this as bright core allows you to draw back faster. This was a really bad run in a 160, as I almost die lol but a good run allows you to easily solo any miniboss.

DISCUSSION Prediction for New Hero and Questline tonight

8 Upvotes

With news of new content coming tonight (genuinely insane stuff), I thought I’d throw a prediction out there that probably ends up being wrong but to me, makes utter sense.

I’m sure majority of you are aware of how Fortnite has been present at Universal’s Hollywood Horror Nights this year and have noticed a familiar face… that being Husks walking around.

My prediction is we are getting a questline based around a friendly Husk of some sort. It just makes a lot of sense personally but hey, knowing Epic, it’ll be something much less “exciting”. Keen regardless for content!

MEDIA fyi: graven's perk works on crits with any weapon

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

the description of the perk made it sound like you have to be using lefty and righty for the phantasms to spawn

but the perk actually works even without using it

likely not a bug, since even if you use a hero without l&r, graven does not show the not compatible badge

edit: not just weapons, jilly teacup's 100% crit chance teddy works with this perk too

Epic Save the World v42.40 Update Notes

97 Upvotes

Today’s update cracks open the Rifts with the new Challenge the Rift Mission encounter, kicks off the Portal Combat Questline and welcomes Grave Feather, Homebase’s newest Hero. Lefty and Righty got faster and stronger, Heroic Hours got their own corner in Homebase and a fresh round of bug fixes got squashed. Details below!

New Mission Encounter: Challenge the Rift

You must have wondered at least once what those Rifts scattered across the world are for. Wonder no more! 

When in a Mission, deposit four BluGlo into one to summon a battlefield around it and face a Mini-Boss inside the circle, showdown style. Take it down to claim Gold, PERK-UP! and an Evolution Materials Cache.

Know before you aggravate a Rift:

  • Anyone can step into the circle to join the fight, but nobody leaves until the Mini-Boss is down.
  • If you’re eliminated and respawn outside, you won’t be able to re-enter the battlefield.
  • The barrier blocks all attacks from outside.
  • Structures and Traps inside the circle are cleared so the fight starts on even footing.
  • If no one inside is left standing, the Mini-Boss vanishes. No restarts!

New Questline: Portal Combat

The Rifts are definitely acting up… Strange monsters are slipping through, the Storm’s energy is leaking out - and in Hexsylvania, even the local Zombie Chickens are getting infected. Complete the Portal Combat Questline by November 18 to unlock Grave Feather, Homebase’s newest Hero.

New Hero: Grave Feather

Don’t worry… it’s only a nightmare. This Legendary Soldier boosts Lefty and Righty’s Crit Rating, with a chance to summon a Phantasm to hunt down nearby enemies.

Standard Perk: Ghoulslinger
Increases Lefty and Righty Crit Rating by 15. 

Commander Perk: Ghoulslinger+
Increases Lefty and Righty Crit Rating by 45. Crits have a 40% chance to summon a Phantasm, dealing Energy damage to a nearby enemy.

Lefty and Righty Buffed

The pistols come out faster, and they stay out longer! We’ve reworked the ability’s uptime Perks to allow you to use it more frequently without the elimination part:

  • Double Agent Evelynn's "Where's Lefty" Perk now gives a percentage cooldown reduction to Lefty and Righty - 30% as a Support Perk and 66% when slotted as Commander.
  • Noir’s “Pump Metal” Perk now increases Lefty and Righty’s duration by a flat 5 seconds or 20 as Commander.

These targeted buffs bring both Perks in line with their Goin’ Commando counterparts - “Goin’ Again” and “Ain’t Done Yet”.

New Heroic Hours Homebase Section

Heroic Hours now have their own corner in Homebase! You’ll find a new display above the Quest Log board, showing what Heroic Hours are happening and exactly how long remains on the clock. 

The Door to Darkness Questline Returns

Something’s knocking at the Door of Darkness, and a ghost named Willow wants to keep it shut. Complete the Questline to earn Gold, Candy and the Willow Hero.

Willow

This Legendary Outlander from the Fortnitemares Heroes set hits harder the closer she is to becoming a ghost herself - her ability damage rises as her health drops.

Standard Perk: Ghoulish Cackle
Increase ability damage based on the percentage of your missing health.

Commander Perk: Ghoulish Cackle+
Increase ability damage based on the percentage of your missing health. In addition, ability eliminations have a chance to conjure a Phantasm, dealing Energy damage to a nearby enemy.

DISCUSSION I don't think the change to the Xenon was intentional

18 Upvotes

I was reading the patch notes for v42.40, and one of the changes that was listed was the following:

  • Fixed an issue where the Outlander's Anti-Material Charge could destroy cars beyond its reach.

There was no mention of anything related to the Xenon in this patch, even though the Xenon can no longer destroy quest items anymore. So whilst you could chalk this down to a shadow nerf, I think the reason why the Xenon no longer works alongside Anti-Material Charge is because they both operate more similarly on a foundational, coding level.

My best guess is that both the Xenons' arrows and Anti-Material Charge are coded to act as projectiles, and they have different projectile hitboxes:

A projectile hitbox that specifically affects enemies. This relates to the actual hitbox of the Xenon's arrows that hit enemies, and in the case of Anti-Material Charge, the forcefield of damage that surrounds the front of the player when they strike forward with it.

As well as...

A projectile quest hitbox, which specifically affects quest items, which is why AMC, Xenon arrows, and Ghost Pistol shots where capable of destroying quest items halfway across the map without directly hitting them.

I think that by trying to fix the bug where an AMC could destroy cars multiple tiles away, they decided to universally decrease the projectile quest hitbox of all the projectiles in the game. And in doing so, they inadvertently ended up nerfing the Xenon Bow's ability to clear "Destroy X Ys" quests so easily.

But that's just the conclusion I came to.

They should consider adding a collection book slot for epic variants, assuming that these heroes and schematics now being obtainable from Birthday llamas is intentional, because sometimes I can't tell with this game

I saw a post earlier and wanted to check out if it was true so I sacrificed a Birthday Llama to verify its veracity and was excited seeing it was real!

High shadows (first picture) and medium shadows (2nd picture). With shadows on the high or epic setting, the fog around the map in hexyslvania or canny map becomes very thick, but just changing shadows to medium makes the fog almost go away completely

BUG Anyone else noticing that, in the last few update notes, they've stopped posting "known bug issues" for specific things that weren't actually fixed? (There's more to it.)

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

I'M LOOKING AT YOU "We’re investigating inconsistent weapon damage output, particularly during Mythic Storm King fights."
Which, by the way, was never just "Mythic Storm King Fights" it's actually in all game modes. I just LOVE seeing my LEVEL 144 King's Wrath launcher not one-shot a LEVEL 50 enemy! (Wish I recorded that.)

Another note, though I know I can't prove this part: I've noticed that they don't actually post "known bug issues" in the update notes for STW on release. The last few times, it would be entirely blank (like it is right now, last image as proof) until later down the line.
This post originally was about that, but when I went back to the notes, ready to take pictures of blank "Known STW bugs" only to be surprised that they added them in later.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A couple days ago I noticed the Chaos exploder's bullets, not the explosion, can hit multiple enemies as long as you don't directly hit them. From my experience the bullet only stops once the projectile directly hits something and explodes. Not sure if this has been pointed out previously but figured it was worth mentioning
