A tip for newer players: Why you should focus on Ventures to speed up your progression
Hello everyone!
If you are new to Save the World and feeling stuck or progression feels slow, I wanted to share a piece of advice that helped me out a lot: don't sleep on Ventures.
It might look like just another game mode, but it is actually the fastest way to accelerate your growth in the main game.
Here is why:
Independent Progression: Your Ventures Power Level is completely separate from your main campaign level. This means that even if you are a low-level player in the main game, you can grind through the Ventures questline to reach high-level missions (up to PL 140!).
Access to High-Level Rewards: By accessing these higher-level missions, you get rewards that you wouldn't normally be able to touch until much later in the main campaign, including legendary heroes, survivors and schematics.
The Evolution Materials: This is the big one. You will be flooded with Rain, Lightning in a Bottle, Eye of the Storm, and Storm Shards. This is the biggest bottleneck for new players when trying to upgrade Heroes, Survivors, and Schematics.
Faster Power Scaling: Because the Ventures progression is streamlined (you don't have to worry about managing complex survivor squads), you can climb the ladder much faster than you would in the base game.
Spending some time in Ventures early on will make your Homebase progression much smoother and less of a grind. If you’re struggling to level up your gear, hop into the current Venture season and reap the rewards!
Hope this helps some of you out there. See you in-game!
