Hey folks! Here’s a quick roundup of what’s returning in this update, alongside a round of bug fixes and improvements.

Prehistoric Izza

Unlike the Stegosaurus, she's not a herbivore. This Legendary Constructor from the Historic Heroes set stomps into the Event Items section, available for 2,800 Gold. Pair her with another Dino Hero to trigger the Blast From the Past Team Perk and trade all that Shield for a massive Health boost.

Standard Perk: Saurian Hide

When Shield is depleted, increases Armor by 33.

Commander Perk: Saurian Hide+ 

When Shield is depleted, increases Armor by 100.

Team Perk: Blast From the Past 

Removes all Shield and increases Max Health by 200%. Requires 2 Dino Heroes (e.g. Fossil Southie, Paleo Luna, Rex Jonesy).

Ancient’s Launcher

Ancient technology, lost to the storm... and somehow changed by it. Grab this weapon from the Exchange tab under Event Items for 1,680 Gold if you haven’t already, and hurl an explosive orb of magic on enemies.

Weapon Perk: Ancient Curse

Mark up to eight enemies by aiming down sights (ADS) and hovering your crosshair over them to apply a mystical Glyph that lasts for five seconds. Then, release ADS and unleash single-target damage on all marked targets in the order they were marked.

The Ancient’s Launcher can hit hard, but fire too fast and it can overheat! Aim true, mark wisely, and watch your foes fall one by one.

✅ Save the World Bug Fixes & Improvements

Matchmaking & Performance 

  • Made additional improvements to matchmaking, particularly events where some players would:

    • End up in an infinite loading screen

    • Unintentionally be kicked back to the main Lobby

  • When you finish a Mission, you'll now be prompted to ready up and matchmake with your party

  • Fixed a visual glitch with objects and vegetation flickering when moving your camera on Nintendo Switch 2

Note: Leaving a Mission early now sends you back to the main Lobby as part of the matchmaking changes above.

Missions

  • You will now receive Mission rewards and Battle Pass XP without delay after returning to Homebase

  • You can now join a Deliver the Bomb Mission in progress from within Homebase

  • You can now build tracks in Deliver the Bomb while using Simple Build

  • You’ll no longer get stuck on the Command screen when an Expedition timer expires

Enemies & Defenders

  • Flinger Mist Monsters no longer spawn an extra Husk when attempting to throw one

  • Defenders can now walk across minecart tracks without getting stuck

Cosmetics

  • The Hoverboard now correctly loads and shows the equipped Wrap to other players

  • Fixed an issue where your character would briefly turn invisible when opening the Emote Wheel in Homebase

Environment & UI

  • Shield, Health and Energy bars now have their intended colors

  • Fixed a visual mismatch between the displayed Hero Class icon and the actual Hero Class selected

  • Rare Event Schematics no longer show an incorrect maximum star rating

  • Resolved a button conflict where "B" was used to both confirm and cancel actions on certain screens on Nintendo Switch 2

  • Resolved a few spots in the Survivor Station, Armory and Hero Loadout sections of Homebase where players could get stuck between plants, pipes and other assets, needing to restart the game to free themselves

For other fixes, improvements and known issues in v41.20, check out this post.

See you in the new game update!

Getting kicked back to the "main Lobby" (out of STW) from missions kind of sucks, please revert that. I can put up with a longer load time if it means that leaving a mission early, or lingering on the end of game screen too long, doesn't mean I get kicked all the way out of STW. Or even better, let us use the 2d homebase menus while loading Hestia in the background?
