Main Quests

Homebase Storm Shield Defense 1

• Establish Your Storm Shield
• Defend Your Storm Shield

Tab over to the map and select "Homebase Storm Shield". After a cinematic plays, activate the Storm Shield in the middle. Ray will send some materials in a supply drop for you to pick up. Follow the tutorial to build some defenses around your storm shield. The grenade skill will be given to you after you finish building. Simply hit the cardboard husk with a grenade. These grenades are timed based. They don't explode when you hit something, instead they go off after a short period of time. Access the Storm Shield Menu from the Storm Shield and expand your shield.

The game introduces a new Husk: The Pitcher. Pitchers throw moderately fast projectile bones at you while trying to stay away from you.

Storm Shield Defense (SSD) structures do persist after the game is left. This is the only mission type that structures persist.

You'll also receive your founder's pack rewards if you had any.

Important Reward - Squads: Scouting Party

Squads are an important part of your game progression as they make up a majority of your F.O.R.T stats. To access survivors, go to the Survivors menu under the Command tab. More info below.

Menus

You now have access to the Command, Armory, Item Shop, and Store tab. Lets go through them.

Command

Ray will come in and help explain a few of the features here, but lets discuss the sub-menus further.

• Heroes
  • Manage - This shows you all of the Heroes you currently have. If you select a hero, you can Inspect, Favorite, or Compare it.
    • Inspect allows you to view the hero and their abilities in more detail.
    • Favorite will make the hero appear at the begin of the list when viewing heroes
    • Compare allows you to see two heroes' stats side by side
  • Hero Loadout - This allows you to change your Heroes currently active. Right now, you can only change you primary hero.
• Survivors
  • Manage - This shows you all of the survivors you currently have. If you select a survivor, you can Inspect, Favorite, or Compare it. These options work similar to Heroes.
  • Squads - This allows you to rearrange your squads. You will have autofill on, so you don't have to worry about this too much unless you want to min-max your stats.
• Profile - You can use account boosts and see party members here.

Armory

• Schematics - This shows you all of the weapon and trap schematics you currently have. If you select a schematic, you can Inspect, Favorite, or Compare it.
• Backpack - This shows all the items currently in your inventory. These items can be accessed in any mission you enter. You can also craft schematics here.
• Resources - This shows a lot of the resources you accumulate during the game. This includes things such as XP, XP boosts, and more.

Item Shop

• Pinatas - Allows you to buy llamas (loot boxes) that contain various items. Any free llamas that you earn can be opened here.
  • Upgrade Llama - A basic llama that can give anything. You get one of these for free at the beginning of the game.
  • A Specialized Llama - Gives you items from a specific pool. These have various names and you can see the what types of items they will give if you hover over it.
  • Event Llama - Gives you items from the current event. Unlike the other llamas that cost V-Bucks, these cost event tickets that can be earned through game play or opening llamas other than event and mini llamas.
• Event - Allows you to buy items with gold or daily coins. Gold is acquired through missions and mini llamas. Daily coins are acquired through the completion of daily quests.
  • Event Items - These will last until the event changes. This usually lasts for a few weeks. Items can be added during the event.
  • Weekly Items - These will last until the shop resets every week. Armory Slots, Epic Schematics, Flux, Epic Survivors, Storm Shard, Eye of the Storm, Lighting in a Bottle, Pure Drop of Rain, PERK-UP, RE-PERK, and a few random items will be restocked every week. A legendary weapon and trap schematic will also restock every week, although these are the only items here you can buy with daily coins.

Store

• Allows you to buy V-Bucks and Founder Packs.

Before and After Science

• Complete a Fight the Storm mission

Tab over to the Map tab and select a "Fight the Storm" mission. For this specific mission, you're going to have to find a lab. After finding a hidden lab and a computer, crafting some bullets, and collect 3 BluGlo, head over to the ATLAS. Place the ATLAS and build some defenses around it.

The most popular build for ATLASes are pyramids. To build these, you must build 8 pyramids around the ATLAS. Then, edit the pyramids that are touching the ATLAS so that the two squares touching the ATLAS are raised. For the corners, only raise the corner square closest to the ATLAS. Finally, place a floor and a pyramid on top of the ATLAS. From here you can add additional walls around the pyramid if you want.

When you're done building, open mission control from the ATLAS and start the vote to start objective. This will cost 1 BluGlo. 3/4 people have to agree to start and if the vote fails, you will have to wait a few seconds to trr again. BluGlo is not consumed on failed mission starts. After a certain amount of time has passed, a vote will not be required to start the mission.

Defend the ATLAS.

Important Reward - Pickaxe Upgrade: Weakpoint Vision

When swinging your pickaxe at destructible objects, you will now see a circle appear on the object after your first swing. This is its weakpoint. If you hit the weakpoint, you will destroy the object twice as fast.

Ride the Lightning

• Complete a Ride the Lightning mission

Go the Map and start the "Ride the Lightning" mission. In this mission type, you'll need 4 BluGlo. First locate the objective, Lars' van, and build defenses around it. When you're ready to start, open mission control from the front of the van and start the vote.

When you're dropped in, start harvesting a bit of materials. You can carry up to 2000 of each, but you won't need that much right now.

Husky Husks will also start appearing in this mission. They are basically better Husks as they can deal and take more damage with a bigger health pool.

When the mission is completed you will unlock:

• Ride the Lightning

  Completed "Ride the Lightning"

  

  1 guide

You also unlock a Tutorial Quest which is in its own section down below.

Important Reward - Heavy Melee Attack

All melee weapons, including your pickaxe, now have a secondary attack. This varies from weapon to weapon. You can check the weapon's secondary by looking at the weapon's description.

Homebase Storm Shield Defense 2

• Complete Homebase Storm Shield Defense 2

Follow the tutorial and build some structures to the east and west. You can build additional structures if you need. When you're ready head to the console and make sure to select the "Send request for help for the next defense" checkbox. This will allow other players to join so that can help you defend.

Three new types of husks are introduced: Beehive Husks, Lobber Husks, and Shielders.

Beehive Husks will leave bees as they walk and send bees to players if they are agitated. These bees will deal damage to anyone in the area and disappear after a while. If the Husks are shot in the head, the beehive will break and they can no longer deploy bees.

Lobber Husks will stay a good distance away from players and lob purple skulls that explode, causing damage to both players and structures, or orange skulls that leave a gas that damages players over time and disappear after a short while, similar to the bees from the Beehive Husk.

Shielders will attach to other Husks and give them a shield. Shot the shielder to destroy the shield or shoot down the shield.

Important Reward - Scouting Party Lead

Leaders are similar to survivors, but have more potential. Leads have a crown Each squad has a leader. The leader gains points, and in turn increases your F.O.R.T stats, if they match the squad type. If the personality of the leader matches the personality of the survivors, the survivors gain a bonus.

Gimme Three

• Save 3 Survivors in successful missions
• Complete a mission in a 3+ zone

Go to the map and select a "Fight the Storm" mission that is Power Level 3. While looking for the objective, also be on the lookout for Survivors. They will appear as a blue person on the map. To rescue a survivor simply defend them from a wave of Husk and talk to them (or just talk to them if they don't get attacked).

Important Reward - Level Up: Heroes

The Major will now appear in the Heroes menu under the Command Tab. He allows you to level-up your heroes. If you go to the Manage menu under Heroes and select a Hero, you will see the Inspect option has been replaced with Upgrade/Inspect. To upgrade a hero, select the Upgrade/Inspect option on any hero, press , and then press . You can only upgrade your hero to level 10 right now.

Retrieve the Data

• Complete a Retrieve the Data mission

Go to the map and select a "Retrieve the Data" mission.

In this mission type, no BluGlo is required to start the objective. Instead the objective will slowly decent from the sky in 16 minutes. The balloon carrying the objective can be shot down at 8 minutes. If this is done, the defense will start immediately.

Homebase Storm Shield Defense 3

• Complete Homebase Storm Shield Defense 3

Go to your Homebase Storm Shield.

Ray will send in a supply drop. Collect it and follow the tutorial on building and using a defender post.

Start the defense when your ready.

2 new Husks will appear: Sploders and Gunslingers.

Sploders carry a propane tank with them. Thy can throw it, which will cause it to explode dealing high damage to anything around it, including enemies, or the player can shoot it to make it explode faster. If the Sploder is killed without setting off the tank, the tank will fall to the ground and can be triggered if shot at.

Gunslingers will charge a beam and fire it at a player. The charging animation can be interrupted.

Once the defense is completed, you will unlock tutorial quests, event quests, side quests, daily quests, and challenges. I'm not going to include any in this walkthrough as they are self explanatory. The only exception are quests that grant achievements which will have a dedicated section down below.

Build Off!

• Complete the Constructor Build Off mission

This takes place in a "Constructor Build Off" mission which is only available to those with this quest.

When you enter the mission, you'll hear Ray mention you're visiting the site of the first successful survivor rescue. She is actually referring to this cinematic (the link will take you to YouTube).

To complete the mission, head to the ATLAS. Once you arrive, you will see plans laid out, similar to when you had to build your Storm Shield Defense. Note that the slanted structures are edited roofs and not stairs. After completing the build, you will asked to place 8 traps. Once placed, start the mission, and defend the ATLAS.

Completing this quest will also unlock some hero quests. For those with achievements, see the bottom of the page.

Important Rewards - Increase Building Upgrade Level

When placing down a structure, wait for it to finish building. Now look at it and you'll see that you now have the option to upgrade it. Doing this costs twice as much materials as it did to initially build it, but it increases the health of the structure.

You will be rescuing survivors by simply talking to them, protecting them from a wave of husks*, or finding a lost medkit. If a survivor asks you to find their medkit, open the map and look for a blue magnifying glass. This will give you the general area of the medkit. Once you're in the area, run around and once you get close to the medkit, you will get a visual cue at the feet of your character, directing you to the medkit.

*If the survivor is on the ground, there will be only 1 wave. If the survivor is on a vehicle, there will be multiple waves.

If you have less than 4 people in a regular mission, you can summon a defender for each person under 4 (i.e. if you have 2 people, you can summon 2 defenders). In 4-Player missions, you can summon up to 3 defenders, regardless of how many players are in the mission.

Doing so will erase the item from your armory, but it will return some materials. If you leveled something up, part of the materials you used will also be awarded back.

You now have access to the Collection Book under the Armory tab. As explained earlier, this allows you to slot schematics, heroes, survivors, and defenders (or SHSD for short). As you add more SHSD, you level up your book and gain rewards. Higher level SHSD give you more XP towards your book. Like recycling, this will erase the SHSD from your armory, but you can unslot it for 20 V-Bucks. You are also able to recruit heroes, although they are pretty costly.
