Get ready Fortnite players! The Hexslyvania Venture season introduces rideable wildlife, Brainstorm, a new Hero with freezing abilities, and a set of formidable Alien Weapons. Earn these through the new Eye of the Brainstorm questline and in the Event Store. Plus, important bug fixes enhance gameplay. For more, check out the full patch notes.
EYE OF THE BRAINSTORM
A new Hero and questline arrive in Save the World! Make your acquaintance with Brainstorm, a new Constructor Hero. Brainstorm has the new perk Brain Freeze, which allows their D.E.C.O.Y. to explode in a frigid blast that freezes nearby enemies! Use the D.E.C.O.Y. alongside freeze traps and support perks to turn Brainstorm into a more cautious fighter that controls the battlefield in a… calculated manner.
To unlock Brainstorm, complete the new Eye of the Brainstorm questline!
NEW ALIEN WEAPONS
Four new weapons are arriving in Save the World during this Brainstorm update!
PULSE POUNDER
This Assault weapon is fully automatic when hip-fired, shoots slower when aimed down sights, and does Energy-based damage.
Earn the Pulse Pounder from the Eye of the Brainstorm questline!
SHOOTING STAR
This SMG weapon emits a continuous ray of… star stuff. The Shooting Star shoots a sustained beam at the target.
As with the Pulse Pounder, the Shooting Star can be earned from the Eye of the Brainstorm questline.
PLASMATIC DISCHARGER
It’s plasmatic, it’s powerful, and it packs a punch. With this new weapon, launch a slow-moving but formidable energy ball that zaps nearby objects and destroys any buildings in its path.
The Plasmatic Discharger can be purchased in the Event Store starting November 6, 2022, at 7 PM ET.
THIRD RAIL
Charge up this high-tech sniper rifle to aim and fire a single powerful shot, great for dealing with enemies behind walls.
Purchase the Third Rail in the Event Store starting November 13, 2022, at 7 PM ET.
RIDE WILDLIFE!
Let your Heroes run wild with the introduction of rideable wildlife in Save the World! Ride on a wolf or boar until it runs out of stamina, or until damage takes its stamina away. Stamina will return over time while you’re not riding and can also be restored by feeding the pet. Ride your boar into the fight and knock the Husks out of the way, while dealing a small amount of damage at the same time. If your beloved creature gets reduced to 0 health it will go into the Down But Not Out state during the fight, fear not — you can rescue it and jump back in the saddle!
