Happy weekend everyone! We’ve got a new round of Save the World updates, including the long-awaited Play With Others in Ventures, custom weapons for Defenders and a bunch of fixes and improvements.
Lend a hand in Ventures, equip your Defenders with weapon Schematics and share your feedback with us!
Play With Others Comes to Ventures!
Ventures now includes a Play With Others option, letting you queue into Missions with other players and help them complete their objectives. To try it out, head to the World Map, select the Ventures pin and you’ll find it in the currently active Venture zone.
Custom Weapons for Your Defenders
You can now equip Defenders with class-appropriate weapon Schematics, giving them custom weapons to use in Missions. If no Schematic is equipped, Defenders will use their class-specific default weapon.
