Save the World Cosmetic Update #2

By The Fortnite Team
Hey Fortnite Community,

Get prepared to reap in fashion!  We’re completely satisfied to announce that Pickaxes are coming to the Locker in Save the World with the v10.20 replace. Pickaxe choice can be added to the Locker tab, supplying you with the power to customise your harvesting device with any Pickaxe in your assortment, from each Save the World and Battle Royale.  Additionally, you’ll be granted beauty variations of each Pickaxe that you just’ve unlocked in Save the World; these Pickaxes can be utilized in each game mode (i.e. Save the World, Battle Royale, Creative).

Pickaxes can have just a few points to begin with, however over time we’ll resolve the next identified points:

  • When you choose a Style for Pickaxes, the default Style is displayed within the Locker, moderately than the fashion you chose.  However, that is purely visible and the right fashion can be displayed if you end up in zone.
  • The Banner Pickaxe Emblematic makes use of the banner icon and colour you will have chosen in Battle Royale, not in Save the World.
  • Not all reactive Pickaxes will “react” simply but in Save the World.  We have to handle these points case-by-case and decide what circumstances ought to activate them.  Most of those are tied to participant harm, eliminations, or survival in Battle Royale, which received’t translate accurately into Save the World.  Wherever we are able to discover a parallel system to make use of, we’ll; if there’s no clear parallel, we now have to re-evaluate what we are able to do for particular reactive Pickaxes.
  • When gamers launch right into a zone inside the first 5 seconds of the foyer countdown, they could find yourself with Battle Royale’s default Pickaxe as a substitute of their beauty choice.  We’ve already put in a partial repair, however we’re nonetheless monitoring down the ultimate trigger to repair it fully.

What about Weapon Wraps?

We’re making good progress on Weapon Wraps. There’s nonetheless numerous art-work required to make to make each weapon look nice with Wraps.  We have an enormous assortment of various weapons, and wish to spend time setting them up and sprucing them so that every one feels distinctive and works with the Wrap system. We’re nonetheless exhausting at work on this characteristic, and estimate they received’t be prepared till after the beginning of the subsequent Season.

Melee Weapon Wraps?

We haven’t forgotten about melee!  Melee Weapon Wraps require each extra code assist and artwork passes on the complete Melee Weapon assortment.  Wraps are an especially cool characteristic and we wish to ensure that they give the impression of being good on each weapon that they are often utilized to, particularly melee.  We’re pushing ahead to get this added and can launch Melee Weapon Wraps alongside Ranged Weapon Wraps, or shortly after.

We’ll have extra data in a future weblog about the remainder of beauty Locker assist.
