With hundreds of heroes at your disposal, you are the Commander of the Homebase. Choosing a hero to play with is your first step. There are four types of hero classes to choose from in Fortnite Save the World. Constructors, Ninjas, Outlanders and Soldiers. Each hero has access to Class Perks, unique to each hero class. The hero then has access to three abilities from a much larger pool of abilities. Each hero then has one Commander and Standard Perk that makes them distinctly special from any other hero, plus a unique skin. This allows them to specialize in different areas of gameplay. Every hero class in the game can use any weapons at any time without restriction but some heroes will benefit more from specific weapons over others at times. Like a hero that specializes in Swords for example.
- Constructors: Constructors bring your bases to life. The primary focus is around buffing their B.A.S.E. ability but they branch out to do many other things. They excel in the use of melee weapons and some excel in explosives. They have some good crowd control abilities. As well as some resource regeneration capabilities. They have some of the highest health pools in the game.
- Ninja: The Ninja excel at edged melee combat with their Shadow Stance ability. Their Mantis Leap provides excellent movement capabilities. They have the ability to clear massive waves of husks in single strikes and overall are very deadly.
- Outlanders: Outlanders excel at gathering materials in the game and providing unique combat advantages in the forms of lethal gadgets and abilities they unleash on the battlefield. They have extremely versatile sub-classes. Some of which are among the best resource farmers and damage dealers in the game.
- Soldiers: Last but not least, Soldiers bring the pain in many ways and excel in various types of ranged weaponry. They can specialize in many different types of loadouts. They also have some team buffs and enemy debuffs to provide some utility to the class. Some consider them to be the most dangerous of all the hero class types in Fortnite Save the World.
