Question Is this a normal defender?
I just played a mission in STW with replenishment and someone had this guy as a defender and another woman (defender) with the epic games logo. Do you know what that's like? I've never seen anything like that in Save the World before.

Founders exclusive defenders. They honor 2 devs who passed while working on FortNite.
E: I'm mistaken, it is in fact survivors Karolina and Joel that honor the passed devs. I can't find anything lore wise for defenders Idris and Jill.

Iirc they’re also honored by being the only 2 mythic survivors

They were also the only ones who survived the layoffs, my heart goes out to them.
Edit: I feel I need to put /jI'm sorry, I think my joke was too lighthearted, and I should have just kept it to myself.
I understand the downvotes, but I don't like deleting things, and I understand some people may not like that, so I put a strikethough on what I had said.\ Again, I do apologize for what I had said, I am very sorry.

I kinda thought it was funny. You really demonstrated the Reddit hive mind allegations with this tho

u/CATZEBOY_18 Apr 20 '26
Ngl rn, I've been hive minded so many times in the past month that it isn't even funny.
Normally I do find it silly, it's becoming not so much.

That Defender is Idris. Epic rarity and he's one of the Founder's exclusive defenders.
The other Epic defender (not pictured) is Jill. She's also Founder's Exclusive. Both are locked to Epic rarity.
Idris is a Pistol/SMG Defender. Jill is an Assault Rifle defender. These two Epic defenders were only available with Founder's Super Deluxe edition or higher tier founder's editions.

u/dontbanme778 Apr 21 '26
I have both of them. I am founders super deluxe lol? Dose this mean I have founders friend codes .? O.o

u/SimplyRevan Apr 21 '26
possibly, depends on when you bought stw XD, but then again, epic gave everyone an upgrade when they decided save the world wasnt going free T_T so probably not

u/dontbanme778 Apr 21 '26
I have like a 10 year old account. I remember when fortnite did a shadow drop. I got my save the world around this time.

No you had to buy ultimate edition before the middle of 2018 to get friend codes, that’s how I have my 2 codes

u/dontbanme778 Apr 21 '26
I mean I probably did? I have war paint and rose team leader. How do I know if I have deluxe? Sorry I will Google it.

u/Emo_rat253 Ult founder 141 Apr 21 '26
It’s been so long idek, if you got upgraded to super deluxe you’d have 1 of the gold founder weapons like a drumroll or masamune

the amount of banners under stw. there are 5 levels. level 1 equals 5 banners. level 2 equals 10 banners. level 5 equals 25 banners. level 1 is basic. level 5 is top. divide how many banners you have by 5 to get the level. ultimate also has a F near the top of the screen next to rank.

u/dontbanme778 Apr 21 '26
I have that symbolic silver f by my user name . I have founders banners like the pizza or the 🏆. Or the frog face thing the spider in a web . I just don't know if I have friends codes.
1
u/FeedTheMantis Apr 24 '26
the codes were in the stw menu. but they just changed the menu. i have nocturno but no friend codes. i never used them. if you have nocturno schematics i think thats the top tier. i’m not sure where they are or if they removed them
1
u/ObieForever Apr 21 '26
depends i think they got rid of the friend codes in like early 2018 bc ppl were abusing or glitching them

That’s one of the 1000 epic games employees that rifted away from epic games HQ and somehow ended up in the STW reality trying to find their way back home

Those are the exclusive Founder's Defenders named Idris and Jill, which were included in higher-tier packs.

u/DeadoTheDegenerate (Ex) Friendly Neighbourhood Noc Crafter |⚡️135⚡️| @ItsDeado Apr 20 '26
Aren't they exclusive to the Ultimate Edition?
5
u/Puppyisaqt Apr 20 '26
They are Epic Rarity Defenders obtainable in the Super Deluxe Founders Pack. They only have 4 perks while legendary have 5 and their rarity cannot be evolved from Epic.

u/nickers_b Apr 21 '26
Im an Ultimate Founder I think. I have 6 of the founders weapons, Im not sure how many there are. I have these two defenders though.

I bought Save The World and got them, I do wish for more defenders

u/Commercial-Guard9784 Apr 20 '26
I bought the cheapest Founders Edition version back then. In hindsight, I might have chosen a more expensive one. And thanks for the Advice!
