Fortnite has released the Patch Notes for Save the World's v24.00 update later than usual - five days after its release. The v24.00 update in Save the World brings Weeks 8 and 9 of Wargames: Meltdown and Double Trouble! v24.00 also includes an update to Homebase names, the Cram session mini-event, and a new Starter Pack.
Wargames Week 8: Meltdown
Wargames’ Week 8 begins Thursday, March 15, 2023, at 8 PM ET. Your Storm Shield has gone critical and is emitting a growing radiation field. This radiation causes visibility issues and deals damage to players while in direct contact.
Wargames Week 9: Double Trouble
Week 9 of Wargames begins Thursday, March 22, 2023, at 8 PM ET. There are two indestructible Golden Smashers with cycling modifiers loose in your fort. If that doesn’t sound terrifying enough, their ill temperament switches between attacking Heroes and the fort.
Homebase Naming Update
Homebase names have been removed in the v24.00 update. Epic says they're "now consistently using your Epic display name across the game instead".
Battle Pass XP Update
The following changes to Battle Pass XP are now live:
- Quest XP has been reduced slightly.
- Mission XP (and the daily cap) have been increased.
- XP for Wargames Dailies was changed so that only the first daily quest you do rewards XP.
Time for a Cram Session
Level up and evolve your favourite items during the Cram Session mini-event:
- For the duration of the event, Mini-Boss Mission Alerts will drop additional XP, Evolution Material, RE-Perk, or Perk-UP rewards.
- Adding four series of Quests, each of which has ten stages that grant increasingly better one-time rewards upon completion. (Hero/Schematic/Survivor XP, Evolution Materials, PERK-UP!s, or Gold).
This Cram Session will be live from March 15 at 8 PM ET to April 5, 2023
