Loot Unboxing

Hey Fortnite Storm Chasers!

A big change is coming soon for Save the World V-Buck Llamas... Here’s the scoop. We believe it’s important that the Llamas you buy have what you want, and that you can earn awesome items just for logging in and playing

Since launch, we've been refining the way you expand your item collection. We previously introduced loot drops, the ability to directly acquire any non-event item through the Collection Book, Llama dupe prevention, as well as gameplay-based event rewards, and now we're ready to take the next big step.

Introducing "X-Ray" Llamas! Previously known as V-Buck Llamas, X-Ray Llamas will now show you the contents before you purchase it. Not interested in what the Llama offers? Simply wait until the daily store refresh and there will be a new selection.

Starting in update v7.30, any Llama available in the V-bucks store will show it's contents without requiring a purchase.

How will this work?
  1. Llamas prices remain the same, and llamas can still be earned through gameplay.
     
  2. The price doesn’t change when the llama upgrades - you can see the upgrade before you purchase, and any item can come from the cheapest Llama. You can wait and find your favorite weapon in a 50 V-Buck llama, with no guessing!
     
  3. The items offered are based on your account in order to apply dupe prevention.
     
    • Dupe Prevention: Introduced in the v5.10 Patch, after the Llama has determined the item rarity and type of drop (Epic or Legendary Hero, Weapon, or Schematic) it will select an item from that category that is not already in your inventory or Collection Book. This applies to Epic, Legendary and Mythic Heroes, Epic and Legendary Schematics and Mythic Lead Survivors.
       
    • Example: This means that if the Llama picks Legendary (rarity) Shotgun (type), for example, it will give you a Legendary Shotgun you do not already have. If you have all of the legendary Shotguns, it will give you a duplicate Shotgun. It will not pick from another category.
       
  4. Specific items can still be directly purchased with earnable in-game resources.
     
  5. All the fun of opening Llamas, and only the items you want!

You will no longer be able to purchase multiple V-Buck Llamas at once when this feature launches. We are making this change so we can show you the rewards of each Llama one at a time, which gives you more choice in the Llamas you decide to open.

Mini Llamas and event Llamas are still normal Llamas, not X-Ray Llamas. By keeping them as normal Llamas, you can still bulk open these with resources earned through gameplay.

All existing Save the World players will receive 5 free Llama Upgrade Tokens to try out the new system. Take a look in the Item Shop! Remember that your X-Ray Llamas refresh daily!

Thanks for playing Save the World, stay tuned for more updates.
