The Fortnite Team

The v23.40 update in Save the World brings the fourth and fifth weeks of Wargames! We’ve also updated the Collection Book to make it a bit easier to acquire Heroes and weapons.

Wargames Week 4: Hexed 

Week 4 of Wargames begins Thursday, February 16, 2023. In this edition of Wargames, Commanders have been hit with a vicious curse that drains their Health. Cure this curse or prepare for the worst!

Wargames Week 5: Invasion

Wargames’ Week 5 begins Thursday, February 23, 2023. This is not a drill — Week 5 is an alien attack! UFOs will be unleashing laser blasts onto your base, so watch out.

Collection Book Update

We’ve adjusted the Collection Book to make it a bit easier to acquire Heroes and weapon schematics through research/recruitment:

  • All Llama cardpack items other than Mythic Heroes can now be acquired with Flux.
    • Mythic Heroes from Event Llamas still require a Hero Voucher.
  • Items available in the Shop for Gold can be researched for Vouchers if they’re only available at Legendary/Mythic rarities, and with Flux otherwise.
  • Items acquired from Quests can be researched for Vouchers if they’re only available at Legendary/Mythic rarities, and with Flux otherwise.
  • Founder/Starter Pack items, Birthday Heroes, and Mythic Weapons should be the only items unavailable for research/recruitment.

In addition to the research/recruitment changes, we’ve also done a review to ensure source descriptions for each item are up to date, and made some minor organization/naming fixes.
