- — In-Game Description
Survivor Squads are groups of survivors in Fortnite: Save the World that can grant a boost in your personal F.O.R.T. Stats. Each Squad contains one Lead Survivor and 7 Regular Survivors. You can earn Survivor Slots just by completing Storm Shield Defenses. Stat bonuses scale with the combined power level of all survivors in the squad. Extra bonuses are granted for matching the personality of the subordinate survivors with their Lead Survivor. An extra boost is granted if the Lead Survivor's Job matches that of the squad.
In addition to their personalities, each subordinate survivor is randomly assigned a Set Bonus. By assigning multiple survivors with the same set bonus to the same squad, the player can gain additional stat bonuses. Currently, these bonuses are calculated additively with the player's F.O.R.T. stats. In other words, the +5% bonus from each set is equivalent to +5 of the corresponding F.O.R.T. Stat.

F.O.R.T. Stat Increases[]
The F.O.R.T. stats contributed by Survivor Squads are determined by the cumulative Power Level of all survivors in each squad. Further, a variety of bonuses from matching survivors' Jobs and Personalities augments the Survivors' power levels when placed inside a Squad.
Job Bonus[]
If the Lead Lead's Job attribute matches the Job of the squad, the power level for the lead survivor is doubled.
Personality Bonus[]
If a subordinate survivor has the same Personality trait as the leader of their team, the subordinate gains a flat power level bonus depending on the rarity of the lead survivor. For Mythic Leads, failing to match a subordinate to the Lead results in a stat penalty.[1] This penalty can not reduce the Power Level of a Survivor below 0.
| Lead Rarity | Match Bonus | Non-Match Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | +2 | 0 |
| Rare | +3 | 0 |
| Epic | +4 | 0 |
| Legendary | +5 | 0 |
| Mythic | +8 | -2 |
Set Bonuses[]
In addition to their personalities, each subordinate survivor is randomly assigned a Set Bonus. By assigning multiple survivors with the same set bonus to the same squad, the player can gain additional stat bonuses.
Currently, these bonuses are calculated additively with the player's F.O.R.T. stats. In other words, the +5% bonus from each set is equivalent to +5 of the corresponding F.O.R.T. Stat.[2]
[]
A portion of each player's total F.O.R.T. stats is shared with their teammates.
Party Shared stats are determined by taking the individual power levels of each survivor in a squad (including the leader), dividing by 5, and rounding down. This is done on a survivor by survivor basis. So a single power level 15 survivor will add 3 Party Shared points, while two survivors with power levels of 7 & 8 will only add 2 Party Shared points, even though their total power levels add to 15.
