How to get and use the Stick of Truth in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1

The Stick of Truth is now available in Fortnite as part of the South Park collab, and it’s an extremely strong item that can completely change the tide of a battle.

The Mythic item might help you win a round, but to do so, you have to obtain it first. Doing so will require you to reach the correct location on the map, and this guide will elaborate on all the steps.

The northwest part of the map has a new POI called Cartmanland. This is a South Park-themed POI that has replaced Wonkeeland. This spot not only offers fun mini-games, but you can also obtain the Stick of Truth and other items like Kenny’s Respawn Token from the marked location on the image below.

Go towards the eastern edge of Cartmanland, where the castle stage is located. The spot has a massive mural of Cartman as the backdrop. You’ll find the Stick of Truth on a red cushion on top of a concrete pedestal.

Additionally, you can only find the Stick of Truth if a Rift Anomaly of the same name is active. When the Rift Anomaly pops up, you’ll get an in-game message saying that you’ll need to grab the stick to control the storm.

You will also have to be the first person to reach the spot if you want to claim the stick. Once it’s been claimed, you’ll get another message

The Stick of Truth can be used only once. It allows the user to control the storm, deciding its destination. If you have found it, activate it immediately to spin a surprise for your opponents.

However, run as fast as you can and be on the move if someone else has claimed it. The storm can move anywhere on the map, and being caught out can end your round. Try to get close to Cartmanland since chances are that the person who has found it is in the same POI.

StarRupture becomes a different proposition when you’re aiming to survive Arcadia-7 together with your buddies.

The current system of the early access build allows you to play in co-op lobbies of up to four players (including yourself). The multiplayer relies on the classic ‘host-based‘ gameplay, but there’s a modern twist that Creepy Jar has put in place.

How to play Multiplayer in StarRupture

To play in co-op, one of your group members has to be the host. The host is the person who creates the main world and sets up the game. Being the host doesn’t have any in-game advantage, so you can relax on that part. Once they have created the save, the host has to choose between ‘Friends Only’ or ‘Invite Only’.

The first option requires the host to invite every player for a session manually. The second option takes that requirement away, but the other players will have to be present on the host’s Steam friend list. To invite a player, the host will have to open the menu. By pressing on the empty slots, they can invite other players via Steam.

Once the other players have accepted the invite, they will be able to play together with the host. Usually, the host leaving the game would have meant the server shutting down. That can be prevented with the use of SaveSync (this is a third-party application that currently supports StarRupture and plenty of other co-op games).

How to use SaveSync in StarRupture

To use the software, both the host and other members in the group will need to own the software. SaveSync can be purchased and installed directly from Steam. Once done, you’ll have to open the app and click New Save after selecting StarRupture. All the available saved sessions will appear. Pick one and click Create Save.

The process above has to be done by the host. Once the sync is complete, there will be a green tick. The host can now share the save with the rest of the group. To join, you’ll have to open the SaveSync app. The shared file will appear automatically in your list of saves when you pick StarRupture. Choose Activate after selecting the saved file to make it available. Once done, you’ll be able to play in the same co-op world irrespective of the host’s presence.
