Fortnite has a long history, and if you are a relatively new player jumping into the game, there’s a chance that you don’t know that the game didn’t start out as a battle royale. When it was first launched in 2017, it wasn’t the free-to-play Battle Royale mode that grabbed everyone’s attention.
Instead, it introduced Save the World, a PvE campaign where players needed to fight off hordes of zombie-like creatures, build their defenses, and progress through different story zones. Even though Battle Royale eventually took the spotlight, the campaign remains an integral part of the game.
If you’re eager to dive into this strategic, cooperative adventure, let’s take a look at how to unlock the campaign mode and what makes it stand out.
How to unlock Save the World in Fortnite?
Set in a world where a mysterious storm has wiped out most of the population. Players must team up, build, and defend their bases against the waves of enemies. From gathering resources to completing various missions, the campaign offers a completely new experience.
However, unlike free battle royale, to access the Save the World campaign, players need to purchase one of the available Hero Packs or a Crew Pack that includes the mode.
These packs are launched seasonally with different skins and bundles. For example, you can currently unlock this PvE mode by purchasing the Cuddle Buns Pack, which is priced at $18.49. This pack includes access to the campaign, skins, pickaxes, and V-Bucks.
Before the game’s officially released, it was available through Founder’s Packs. Now, these packs are no longer available.
While Battle Royale and other modes are what made Fortnite a global sensation, this campaign mode has its own dedicated fanbase due to its cooperative gameplay, strategic base-building mechanics, and the satisfaction of fighting off hordes of enemies.
Plus, it serves as the ultimate building tutorial, providing a great way to practice building without the high stakes of a live PvP match. Since players have to build their defenses, and place traps, walls, and structures strategically, it helps refine their building skills.
To provide more incentive to play this mode, the campaign offers progression rewards. As you progress through the campaign, you can unlock various new heroes (who offer different skills and abilities), weapons, and abilities.
In the end, it is a unique and strategic experience that is still well loved by many players. While it may not be the focal point of the game anymore, it remains a rich, rewarding mode.
