San Bernardino County Fire Protection District has suspended all open burning and burn permits effective 8:00 AM, Friday, May 1, 2026, due to early fire activity, high winds, elevated temperatures, and low fuel moisture.
The suspension covers five divisions across the county, including West and East Valley cities, Mountain Areas (excluding Running Springs and Big Bear), South Desert/River Areas (excluding Morongo Valley), and North Desert Areas (excluding Yermo, Daggett, and Newberry Springs).
The suspension remains in effect until lifted. Violations may result in administrative or legal action. For information, visit https://t.co/vaDKoUjoSj.
ESSENTIAL SETTINGS IN SAVE THE WORLD ⬇️
By default, Save the World has a lot of essential settings turned off, here's what to turn on as a new player!
1. Game UI Settings
- Turn on Health/Shield Numbers
This shows your full Health and Shield stats in your health bar, genuinely no idea why this is off by default
- Turn on Team Member BluGlo
Essential setting that lets you see how much BluGlo your teammates are holding
2. Save the World Game Settings
- Automatically Apply XP
For new players, turn ON Automatically Apply XP, for experienced players they may want to keep it off
- Adjust Automatic Recycling/Retiring
For newer players it's best to leave all these on Common. For experienced players who don't want their inventory flooded, set it to Rare. Anything you don't have in the Collection Book already will be collected rather than recycled.
8-Bit Demo is in the Weekly Shop again, which means I get to show this absolutely ridiculous Rocket Launcher spam loadout.
Star-Spangled Headhunter (the lead in this loadout) returns to STW later in July.
Trigger Boxes of every Wall Trap in Save the World
When the enemies walk inside the boxes the trap activates, Wall Darts' trigger is very slightly over 3 tiles
Warzone streamer Jordan Sisco has been accused of hitting his girlfriend after he idiotically spilled a drink on his new gaming PC
Absolutely disgusting
NEW RESEARCH SYSTEM WITH LARS
Players can convert ONE weapon or trap that they collected from Loot drops in the previous mission and research it into a schematic!
(via @archer_fortnite & @BeeYourseIves)
Gonna be posting a lot of guides for the new players in the coming months.
Elements aren't explained super well in-game so here's a huge chart breaking down how elements work and what builds to use. 🫡

Save the World Patch Notes for 39.40
Your top 3 SCHEMATICS are now also factored into your Power Level calculation
So now its:
- Top 3 weapons in backpack
- Top 3 schematics
- Hero Loadout
- Commander Level
CHROME HUSK ARE BACK
Chrome Husk can only be eliminated by Fire or Water weapons.
You can get rid of them by doing the "Magnets" quest on page 9 of Blockbuster... but everyone in your party needs to have also done that quest
Frozen Fjords + Frostnite leave in about a month!
This season of STW ends on Jan 21st.
Flannel Falls usually replaces it, but it's looking like Mild Meadows may return instead.
Next season will be a Mini-Boss (vbuck) season!
