Fortnite On Nintendo Switch Doesn't Have Save The World Mode

From what I've read Save the World isn't too popular and costs money so it doesn't seem to be too much of a loss.

Play both, prefer STW

The STW team actually listen to player feedback and fix a lot whereas the BR team think “sod it, let’s make even more cancer”. The fact that they still haven’t done a 2nd map either is terrible.

Quit BR this season as it’s just been so awful, I’m rather gutted this doesn’t have STW and that Sony would block me anyway as grinding out perk up while I watch Netflix would be awesome.

And to all saying PVE costs, if you enjoy it, PVE pays you.

You earn VBUCKS A LOT and the amount of premium skins for BR that cost me bugger all makes the £35 I paid last July well worth it.

Even if I have flushed 950 down the drain buying Battle Pass 3 as again this season has been aids.

@smithpa01 Judging from the articles here in the past couple of months I would say it's very difficult

The draw distance is really quite terrible, trying to snipe people who fade in and out of existence is so much fun

I have only ever played the Battle Royale had it on PS4 for a while and my friends and everyone I spoken to about Fortnite only play Battle Royale so I don’t think it’s too much of a big thing plus as you point out in the article that’s something you have to pay for I’m just happy I can play this at work or when the mrs is watching something lame on tv

tried Fortnite for the first time, yesterday and just can't understand its appeal. After a couple of rounds I found it very slow paced and have seen just a few opponents before I was shot. It really is not my cup of tea.

I think will manage without it.

I want the Save the World mode, since that one is actually fun!

Why is this game fun?

I’ve tried Fortnite for the first time and I don’t like it at all! To much options to choose, graphics are not great and when I started the game I was walking a long time around and nothing thrilling happened! I don’t understand why it is so hyped?

That's fine, Save The World mode isn't entertaining enough to warrant a Switch release.

@NintendoPete You should try the 50 v 50 mode, it’s more fun

My nephew tells me that’s where he gets the most vbucks without buying them. Is this a ploy to sell more vbucks? I was honestly wanting to play this mode. Shame

I tried Fortnite yesterday since I had heard it was good. It was boring. Thank god it was free haha. But I am taking it off my Switch.

It's worth pointing out its not a "mode" if you download fortnite Battle royale on Xbox, you still have to pay to get Save the World.

It's better to describe Fortnite BR as "standalone"

@HappyRusevDay “sod it, let’s make even more cancer”, "this season has been aids."

Do you really need to throw words like that in when talking about a video game? A free video game at that! Just needless!

I have to agree with all the negative comments. I just don't see the appeal. I've downloaded it, played it, and deleted it.

Each game was ten minutes of collecting gear followed by death. Obviously I get the point is to get better and survive longer but it just feels so slow and clunky. No tutorial and no motion control wasn't helping either.

I'll just happily go back to Splatoon.

@OorWullie if anything, it's a clear indication of the poster's age. Seconded.

I thought BR was the "mode" and it just happened to be really popular. The base-building was the original concept, and the paid part of the game. Maybe I'm mistaken.

@NintendoPete Yeah, I too find it very hard to understand all the fuss. I've tried it on the PS4 before I sold it for my switch, didn't like it, tried it on iPhone, didn't like it, neither on the switch. I still prefer Splatoon 2 in terms of pace and fun.

This is the mode I mainly want.

Tried it to see what the fuss about. Made me feel bored and old

I kinda wished we got the full experience

I guess I've gotten old. Tried to give this game a shot, played with my brother online. We ran around in what seemed like an empty map (although there was 50 other players) for like 20 min without seeing a single soul. Then, we suddenly get sniped and die. Same STUFF the next round.

@JorrieQPO It's not for everyone. I didn't enjoy it until one of my cousins begged me to play it with him and showed me the ropes so he wouldn't always have to play solos. Took me about 3 weeks but I've been playing it nightly since.

Battle Royale is the main mode people are going crazy for so it makes sense to focus on that. The save the world mode is still early so maybe when it's finished they can include it.

Well I certainly would've liked to pay for the Save the World mode. Well, maybe I'll finally buy it for PC then...

@jbrodack Not really. Save the World was the original mode, BR was only an afterthought.
There's nothing unfinished about Save the World, dude...

It does suck to technically have an inferior version but I think most of us just checked the reviews for save the world and moved right on. This feels like they're just phasing it out. They'll probably "finish" it soon and release it, then abandon it and focus on Battle Royale.

Shame because that was the only mode I was curious about.

Well, we can hope they find a way to make it work and go for it.

@shani

Save the world may be the original and planned main mode of the game but battle royale is the one people are playing. Save the world was launched as paid early access and is still being developed.

I'm not a fan of crafting and survival games so only getting the battle royale mode is fine by me.

@jbrodack Oh you mean that, yeah that's true.
I'm not a big survival fan but I like BR/LMS even less.
I like building stuff however.

@HappyRusevDay Using horrible diseases to underpin your point, so edgy.

I just tried this game and it was very confusing and ultimately boring. One of the suggestions in the news article that popped up after i downloaded it suggested hiding in the bushes to get exp and live longer in battles... Probably not a game i'm going to enjoy if that's their formal strategic advice for new players...

@HappyRusevDay

Dude, I don't think you understand how awful it sounds when people call everything "cancer and aids"

Why do kids think it is cool to talk this way? lol.

Just saw this from the review....ugh.
I always prefer the "team of 4 vs ai zombies" modes, it's why I loved Garden Warfare (first one), because of Garden Ops.
sighs

Actually, I just found gameplay of it, never mind...it's not what I thought it was.

I knew it originally as a zombie tower-defense too. But that seems totally forgotten now.

I play Save the World exclusively. It's the only reason I play Fortnight because I don't really enjoy PvP. I've spent a ton on Llamas and I have been itching for Fortnight to come out on Switch. I was really disappointed when StW was not included. I hope they manage to bring it over.

I mean, I know that Fortnite: Save the World isn't out on Nintendo Switch yet, but there are two things that make me believe that Save the World will come to the Switch. Reason 1: There is a glitch that gets you to the start menu where you can select to go to Save the World or Battle Royale. Of course, the only one that works is the Battle Royale button, and the Save the World just brings you to a page that just says, "No offers available" or something like that. Of course, I don't have Save the World to begin with on my PC, so it might show something else to people who have Save the World. To do this glitch, you just have to ready up in a match (I did it with solos but it probably will work anywhere) and then go into party finder. Hover over one of your friends' names and make sure it would be possible to join their party with the X button. Then, as soon as the loading screen shows up, press X. You have done it correctly if the loading screen has no loading bar under the word LOADING... Reason 2: Today on the in-game news, I saw that Save the World was half off. This was on my Switch, which wouldn't have any relevancy unless Save the World will come to the Switch during the half off event. I know my reason two is kind of weak, but hey, it's a lead.

I think Fortnite needs to add StW and add clipping videos back as well. They also need to fix the graphics and the connection because it causes a lot of problems.
