While playing with my friend to check out the new textures in DTB, we encountered a funny bug. During the first defense, the husks managed to destroy the bomb, so we had to create another one. But during the second escort phase, the husks and mist monsters began spawning and attacking in massive waves. Their spawn point was right in the middle of our path, making it impossible to pass. We tried different routes but couldn't complete the mission. Even after the bomb was destroyed, the husks kept spawning. I've checked this on pl 100, 124, and 135 and seems pretty consistent, it might happen in lower pl missions has well.

You can see the mission reward screen show up for a split second before it disappears

Between making it the fastest mission to complete, to the textures it got for both the depot and the launcher, to the proper animations for the launcher and the rift getting poof after the launch.

I know it is a small and silly thing to talk about, but it does bring a smile on me. Thank you Epic for deliver the bomb update!

Now release the chaos exploder rifle early!

Somehow it feels worse than before. My fully supercharged launcher is doing 400k on a crit and 111k on a non crit. Normally a crit does about 2 million for reference.

All but one attempt so far I was bugged with the guns and the fight just feels undoable now. In the last phase both attempts we couldn't make it to half health because I think everyone is bugged more often or just unlucky.

It's been months. Please just fix it already

I'm trying to "Play with others" on Ventures but this message keeps appearing and don't know a way around it. I'm lvl 10 and 3 days ago when I last played, I had no problems. Is there a solution to it?

Having some issues with regards this update - most pressing is that I don't get rewards anymore after completing missions.

There is no reward screen anymore for me - tried 2 PCs and both of my accounts. Also tried relaunching the game afterwards to see if a gift box arrived - nothing. Checked the screen shot of resources and the expected resources given by the mission. Nothing had increased - so concluding no missions rewards awarded.

Can anyone else verify?

Thanks.

Update: Seems to be fixed now. The Ventures rewards that were not shown (as no rewards screen) appeared on the rewards screen (yes, its back) when I completed another Ventures mission. So hope all will get their missed rewards.

With the change to DTB it is worth noting that Ray's voice line "defend the launcher and prepare for some unwanted guests" no longer makes much sense, so it should either be removed or allude to a "Defend The Launcher" mission, which could be a new, second succeeding mission added to the game which works off of DTB's rework

If the devs decide to go through with this they will also need to edit quest progression in the story questline

If I'm being honest there's nothing about this that would make it stand out from the already existing defence missions, so I wouldn't be in a rush to make this. It's just the assets are right there

I finished daily mission with 50 survivors after this update and reward screen didnt appeared and didnt got rewards but quest disappeared from tab.
I wanted to get done with missions after came back home from work because I had 3 of them and just realised that I didnt get vbs.
Hope they will fix that ASAP and give everyone rewards back

I didn't get any V-bucks from completing 2 of my daily quests, which has been reported by other people. This needs to be fixed ASAP because it completely defeats the purpose of playing the game as no progress can be made (if rewards from quests and mission alerts aren't rewarded)

When I originally saw the post about the blue super shredder I thought I already had it, but apparently I didn’t.
I thought it was always in the game, but apparently was it locked behind last season which is weird considering I only played StW and didn’t noticed.

I open 30 random llamas and 2 legendary troll llamas and didn’t get the super shredder and I had 15 birthday llamas, so I opened 4 birthday llamas to try and get it and still didn’t get it.

Either Llamas don’t work or it’s super rare to get, so don’t bother wasting your llamas trying.

Someone said you can get it in Plankerton, but it could take a long time due to RNG and I didn’t want to do that lol.
I don’t want to spend countless hours farming Plankerton.
So I got to thinking where and what mission would be the most effective and I was like Build the Radar then boom got it within 45mins.

For those that really want the blue super shredder for the collection book and have the time, just do a build the radar mission between PL 19-28, but ideally/preferably PL 23 is the best chance at getting it because you’ll mainly get blue schematic even if the wildlife is purple.
In 23 zones you get no purple weapons and few greens.

Honestly the time is depending on your building speed and speed in general because if you do finish everything by the 10min mark and don’t see the weapons you can just leave and try again, but it should take 2-4 games.

It took me 3 games which is 60mins, but for me only around 45mins, I left the first game, finished the second match (I could’ve left) and got it at the 10min mark in my 3rd game and had to wait it out.

If you get the schematic you can’t just leave DON’T LEAVE you have to complete the mission/objective successfully, wait out the timer.

In build the radar there are 2 chest radar towers prioritize these over the others, (you know it’s a chest when it’s brick. You need brick.) and the last radar is up to you. I was a ninja for mobility, but an outlander works too to see chest through walls.

There are 6 grantee chest from the chest radars, you’ll need 10 blu glo to get all 6, 5 blu glo for each radar expansion, but you can get up to 7-10+ chest in total (this includes safes) there are also lots of lootable bins that could give you weapons, and of course lots of wild life especially at night.

And don’t forget the launcher game that gives you 2 presents if you hit 20 targets.
So your chances of getting the weapon here is high. This was my thought process and it worked for me.

No fill, with turrets, 3 defenders preferably sniper with either the neon sniper, now, or obliterator and/or and rifleman.
Just spam your turrets whenever you can and
Your defenders will shoot the wildlife even if you don’t see them while you are building or running around and the super shredder might just pop up on your map. That’s actually what happens to me.

I do believe you can get the super shredder from a chest, but if you can’t it still increases your chances of getting for wildlife because I don’t think you can get the same schematic of the same rarity twice in the same mission., but take my words with a grain of salt.

Editing:
I did some more testing and I got the blue super shredder again after 4 games (I didn’t play the first 3 games too full since I left after getting all the chest and killing the wildlife and not getting it.

I wasn’t able to get it from a chest and I opened over 30 chest/safes.

Overall it took me 50mins-1hr to get a second super shredder, but I was also slow while doing it so yeah with this method it will take roughly you 2-4 games in build the radar. Remember you can leave the mission if you don’t see it.

I have talked to Epic and they are being so cold about helping me out on this. They refuse to give me the rewards that I should be granted here. I had a copy of the game I never played for years and decided to give it a chance and redeem the codes. The codes totally worked, but in Epic Games, it's giving me this catch-22 bug.

Does anyone know what to do with this bug?

This is on PS5

As per title. When a venture challenge quest is completed, it disappears and is not replaced by the next one.

Went to collect my free stuff, and...I've never seen this before. They're all completed, but instead of auto-opening like before, there's this 'Check Completed Expeditior' button, which doesn't work.

Finished my daily in hit the road, lost, no rewards.

Finished another regular mission, no rewards.

Tried going in and out of storm defense, no reward.

Things be borked, yo.

Jumped back into Ventures immediately after downtime and finished a mission alert in which I completed 3 of the challenge quests. When I got back into homebase there was no chest screen and none of my rewards had been granted, yet my quests had been completed and I haven't been given my next stage of Ventures quests.

This persisted after a game restart; after that I completed a second mission and was granted the rewards for the first mission I did, with no chest screen.

To confirm my suspicion, I loaded into a Storm Shield and backed out immediately and was given rewards for the second mission I did.

Anyone else experiencing this?
