Quest Changes

With the start of the Mild Meadows Venture Season, we’ll be adjusting the end dates of questlines available during the Season. We’re making this adjustment because having too many narrative quests running simultaneously can make it hard to follow the stories, especially for new and returning players who join late in a season. The following questlines have had their end date changed, or have been moved from the Season.

  • The Blockbuster questline remains unchanged and will last the entire Season (to April 5, 2023).
  • The No Dancing questline has been shortened to four weeks and will run from February 9 to March 8, 2023.
  • The Valor questine will run for four weeks, from March 9 to April 5, 2023.
  • The Brawl of the Wild questline has been moved from this Venture Season and will return in the next Venture Season.

No Dancing Questline

Get ready for Love Defense 101.

The dreaded Love Storm has returned and according to our most trusted Major, this is an extremely dangerous threat! Stop this lovely phenomenon from hitting Homebase to have the “premiere matchmaker” Stoneheart Farrah join your squad after completing the questline.

New Reloading Gameplay Changes

Most ranged weapons in Save the World can now be reloaded while you’re aiming down sights, making it easier to keep a bead on your target as you’re reloading. Weapons with a zoom scope are the exception - those will retain the old behavior and pull out to the regular third-person view while reloading.

  • Fixed an issue where players could accidentally mount and ride wildlife while hoverboading.
