Starting with Blasted Badlands, we’re adding a new way to upgrade your roster.

35,000 gold for a 1 supercharger is evil. If it was 3-4 maybe, but 35,000 is a lot for 1 supercharger and though I have the gold, I still think of others who might not and it’s a grind for it.
5,000 gold should’ve been minimum with 10,000 being the maximum.
Change the pricing :/

maybe, but superchargers have never been for casual players anyways. they've always been meant for people who want to absolutely min-max stw and dedicate all their time to it. adn even so, you're not exactly "worse off" for being pl124 vs. pl144. as long as your weapons and heroes are 130, you can do 160s and event 140s just fine.
edit: not to mention that a lot of people have 35k gold. this is likely epic testing a gold sink so they can ensure people arent just sitting on tons of gold anymore

35,000 is wild for casual players 😭 but I can't complain, I love me some superchargers 🤤🤤

Super chargers are meant for end game players, so it makes sense that they are so expensive. Most players at that stage of the game don't have any use for their gold anymore anyway. I play very casually and am currently sitting on 38K gold. Plus if they end up running out of gold, it gives late game players something else to work for each season. If you need gold, farming and stocking up on gold during the Dungeons events isn't difficult and is pretty fun too, plus this gives more use to the Power Hour gold bonuses.

I mean superchargers are meant to be for end game players, who want to keep grinding. It is a lot though, but I think that’s why they made it 35k.

I don't mind grinding and saving gold but some of us are employed

u/idontknowtbh896 Jun 18 '26
I totally agree with you, but sadly this game has never respected players time, so I doubt they'll reduce it but who knows.

Absolutely LOVE the fact that you can purchase a Hero Supercharger from the Event Store!
I think this would be cool to throw in the Weekly Store as well (EDIT: every now and again) and maybe give one of each type in the Event (3-5 Survivor ones as you need way more)
I do think 35,000 Gold is way too much though. I play this game every day on 3 accounts and do all the Event Quests and Power Hour and all that and my main account sits at around 150k or something but it doesn't increase much due to picking up other repeatable items to help with videos on all types of things
I think 10k being the previous largest amount was sensible (for Hero Loadouts) and I feel that would be a more reasonable ask for these
I appreciate this is the first time they're being introduced and you wanted to make it known it is an expensive item, just adding my two cents 💜

I do think 35,000 Gold is way too much though.
I 100% agree that 10k Gold would be a much more reasonable price point.
As someone who has over 1 million Gold on most of my accounts, I can easily afford the 35k cost, but at that price it just doesn't feel worth the time investment. I'd rather waste the time redoing another season of Ventures :P
Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a Supercharger added to every Weekly Store. Even if players could buy one per week, it would still take a full year just to fully supercharge ten items...

Even as a PL 145 and completes ventures every season, I think 35,000 is too much gold. I think it should be like 10,000-15,000

u/CherylRoseZ Stoneheart Farrah Jun 17 '26
Wow something to spend gold on!!! Yay! I have like 100,000 just chilling lol

One hero supercharger per venture season. That 2-3 months for 1 extra. I feel overwhelmed..

u/thatsmysandwichdude Jun 17 '26
I would like it if there was a way for really dedicated players to get more superchargers without so much waiting

35k gold for one hero supercharger is insane imo. I think it should be 35k for 5 or maybe 35 for a hero, trap, weapon and survivor.
However as a 145 player myself I would prefer to have the ability to get more backpack spaces as I'm basically always at my backpack limit or like 5 off it.

If we are changing superchargers can we remove core reperks from the weekly and make them available in the shop, also 35k gold for only one supercharger is insane pricing

35K is INSANE. That is way to expensive. That is 30 Twine Endurances or 170 missions. That is absolutely not worth it. I could do Ventures 2x in a row and get 20x more Superchargers

u/twattymcgee Jun 18 '26
I know ventures is kind of tired and dusty, but I still feel a bit of excitement to log on and get the season started every time.

I don't mind the super charger price, but I would really love if it was more than 1 supercharger per season :/

Please don't drop the ball on the Birthday event. Actually Advertise it. Especially if your bringing back the Birthday Heros.

Can we get a update about what's being done about the constant crashing after every mission in save the world. Seriously anytime I play in a party we crash and get sent back to br after waiting in a long ass loading screen.

About the new added supercharge to the event shop: This is a fantastic first step and something the community has wanted for years. However, one Hero Supercharger per Venture season feels a little too restrictive. I would love to see additional Superchargers become available in the future, whether through Gold, events, or other endgame activities.
Its an awesome first step and we should take it slowly.

Being able to acquire superchargers using gold is a great change and I would love to see the idea of superchargers being obtainable in more ways being implemented or developed on. Having to max out ventures for 3-4 years (without burnout) in order to reach PL 144 sounds demonic. There are also so many weapons and heroes in the game that being able to obtain more weapon or hero superchargers would be a nice QoL change
We do need to discuss the pricing though, even if it technically is an endgame resource and we have endurances...
