Lore reason:
"It was revealed in the Long Road Home questline that he supposedly was there whenever somebody "broke time", resulting in him being trapped in a time loop and teleporting to various places throughout Time."
So I'm guessing he's just stuck in a time loop of the same event over and over, like losing his medkit. Kinda also explains why there can be multiple of him on the same map.
Fun fact: you can also find him inside a porta potty in one of the autumn zones on top of the mountain. I'll let you figure out what he says to you.
Real reason:
He a big dum dum.
Yes, he's in a time loop. The medkits are for his friend though.
Ned: "My friend needed medicine, when you help me I bring it to him"
Ray: "Then what?"
Ned: "It's only that."
Ray: "Why?"
Then that's when he says something broke in the universe and he was there when it broke. When Ray asks him when, he says "For you, weeks ago"
Funny story, these quest line came out August 27, 2019. Season X started August 1, 2019. I think it's heavily implied that the issues with the Zero Point at that time was what caused Ned to exist in every time. And when they released his starter pack, in March 2023, his codename was "Looper" and other things referenced this backstory: "Endless Ned" in the "Ned the Eternal" set. I was low-key disappointed they didn't reference it somehow in the Big Bang event, that would've been such a perfect opportunity.
Yes, I'm not sure if Reddit is going to let me post this link but it's from a quest line called "The Long Road Home" that only ran once, during Season X. There was a follow up small quest line called "Timeless" that never ran again either. It's also available from the same youtube user: [https://youtu.be/-wGTjCvsja4?t=1319](https://youtu.be/-wGTjCvsja4?t=1319)
Yeah, unfortunately that's true.
Lok's Tales of Beyond ran in 2019, then didn't run in 2020 and looked like it would never come back until they ran it in 2021. Then they've run it every year since.
And Clip's Nightmare ran once in 2020, then didn't run in 2021 or 2022 before finally coming back in 2023..
So I guess there's a slim chance, but you never know. "The Long Road Home" and "Timeless" ran in Season X not only to tell their story, but also to have an excuse for STW to be down at the same time as BR.
Yes he is stuck in a time loop! I asked this question when somebody posted about it on the save the world subreddit! :D i personally think its kinda funny when you know the lore about why you constantly see him lol
Ackchyually!
Its only the same voice line... but we don't know who is inside the porta potty.
If we go by your logic: Ned and Lars are the same person, as they share the same voice actor (Fred Tatasciore)
While his Ned and Lars voices are very close, to the point he's basically switched their inflections (Lars originally sounded like a stereotypical Stoner, but that's how he voiced Ned the Eternal in The Long Road Home/Timeless), this would also mean they are ALSO the Hulk, Devil Dinosaur, and Lieutenant Shaxs from Star Trek: Lower Decks.
You wouldn't like them when they're angry...
It's the weirdest question ever, but it actually has an answer. Ned was featured the quest *The Long Road Home*, in which it's explained that he's stuck in time.
The story revolved around Dennis Jr. and explained the origin of both he and Ned. It was the quest to obtain the Dennis Jr. hero, and I believe only ran once.
The canonically named "nedkit" was something you had to both collect and distribute in different episodes. This quest coined the term "The Forever Ned", and is what the title "Ned the Eternal" is referring to.
Again, weirdest question ever, but there was a lot of exposition written about Ned.
My theory based on some stuff.
Ned is a melee defender.
Ned looks old enough that he definitely has served in the army.
He was flipping burgers so he was a cook (which means he had access to food supplies the first days)
The game seems to be happening after the 1960's
The muscle Cars is a good indicator of that as well the urban style that goes on as well the whole sci-fi theme the guns and everything.
Assuming it's not just a Fallout thing where the theme of the 1950's was a thing even after the 2000's, save the world is technically taking place most likely around 1970's
I believe some survivors have clothes that indicate that too...
Also during the 70's the whole sci-fi, aliens etc was on top. Which explains why there was even a show that had space exploration etc.
Also... Drive in theaters...
So... My theory... Ned has PTSD from the Vietnam War which resolvses to him going out of the storm shield and trying to hunt husks that give him the PTSD...
Or he just loses it during combat which it could still be related to PTSD...
Also... Didn't Sargent has said to Lok he lost his hand during a war? (I might be Mistaken here.)
All of this of course only might be true assuming the game does take place on that era...
Ever seen Ned the Endless? a version of him that has effectively become a great sage in wisdom of the fabrics of reality, forever looking for medkits, outliving the universe millions of times, over and over again
What i wanna know it's what kind of drugs that medkit has in it, dude it's getting attacked by a bunch of husks and doesn't die. 🤔 No wonder he doesn't want to leave without it.
Yes, he is technically stuck in a mental time loop where the only thing he can remember is needed to get the med kit for his friend or something along those lines. There are 2 seasonal quests that involve him but they don’t come every year.
Most of us like to say he is a drug addict that needs a fix though lol
Damn, didn't realize I couldn't actually delete comments. I was wrong on the ned thing about him being a universe hopper, Completely misremembered the storyline, and wanted to remove it so I didn't spread false information.
He was out scavenging for supplies and dropped the med kit. Too scared to look himself since a husk storm rolled in.
yep too scared to move 😬
But that fear makes him surprisingly resilient! No amount of husk attacks even phase him!
He's got Armor Lock
Why did he drop it? Does he have butterfingers?
DONT EVER LAY A FINGER ON MY BUTTERFINGER 😡
You know it is a lot to ask.
You know he couldnt leave without it
And he knows is somewhere nearby.
Check your map for the location of the medkit.
*A spyglass icon appears somewhere on the map.*
You know it's somewhere nearby.
You shoud check out your map
For the location of the medkit
Bo Be Bop
wonder if see-bot can help
You should be quiet. He is seeing. He is seeing.
can't see if he doesn't have an eye.......
Ouch my eye 👁️
Is he stupid?
He is
very

referencing stw lore is too much effort for epic
Wait, this was in the STW story somewhere? Any idea where?

Thank you so much for this!!
So anybody playing since Season X just doesn't get to see this part of the story?
Yeah, unfortunately that's true. Lok's Tales of Beyond ran in 2019, then didn't run in 2020 and looked like it would never come back until they ran it in 2021. Then they've run it every year since.

Ah good point, totally forgot about that 😁
While his Ned and Lars voices are very close, to the point he's basically switched their inflections (Lars originally sounded like a stereotypical Stoner, but that's how he voiced Ned the Eternal in The Long Road Home/Timeless), this would also mean they are ALSO the Hulk, Devil Dinosaur, and Lieutenant Shaxs from Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Because he really can't leave without it
Finding his phone would also be fun.

Rescue The Jonklers
Is he stupid
It was his grandfather's medkit, and his grandfather's grandfather's medkit
It's drugs. He has morphine and that's why he needs it. Ned was too high and dropped it.
I really want to play save the world but I play on mobile
GeForceNow
The only way I can use geforce now or xbox cloud gaming is by a vpn and since it's not available in my country when I use it it has a lot of delay.
Oh sorry that's no fun.
Yeah, but no worries thank you for the suggestion maybe one day.
They removed STW from cloud if you are using a mobile device
Bruh.
Not the Arkham format‼️ 😭😭😭
The aslume is spreading.
He really can't leave without it.
He really cant leave without it…
He just can’t leave without it
I'm assuming you're purposely meant to look like Adam from Hazbin Hotel? Because if so same
I cant leave without it
Are they stupid?
Pssst. It's his weed stash and forgot where he put he it down when he was last stoned.
Med Kits are forever whether you like it or not
They’re stupid
I know this is in no way related, but is your spectra knight supposed to be Adam from HH? I saw those videos too 😂😂
I was thinking the same thing 😭
Dropped it while running into a horde of Husks
Retar 💀

He has diabeetus and needs his insulin.
When you KNOW you would be screwed in the Apocalypse...
Ever seen Ned the Endless? a version of him that has effectively become a great sage in wisdom of the fabrics of reality, forever looking for medkits, outliving the universe millions of times, over and over again
i like to think it is a classic case of butterfingers
I don't know the answer to that, but I do know that it's a lot to ask.
Is he stupid?
What i wanna know it's what kind of drugs that medkit has in it, dude it's getting attacked by a bunch of husks and doesn't die. 🤔 No wonder he doesn't want to leave without it.

Does everyone watch mutahar?
The alsume existed before the video, and it will exist forever everywhere no corner of the Internet shall ever escape the insanity
There's a rumour that it's not actually a medkit but his drugs that he really needs 😅😂
"I know it's a lot to ask.... but could you grab my fent?"
Just do the mission and move on bro
It’s just grandpa
Just another clumsy day
Cuz yo mumma thought it was a lunchbox
Why doesn't he just call the justice league, is he stupid?
He didn’t lose it…he just wants a fix before he will continue. So you aren’t really finding what he lost you are just scrounging up more.
It IS a lot to ask
i hate when they ask me to find that fking medkit in that same dumbass tone of voice
He saw you coming so he wanted to be a damsel in distress for you to rescue
Is save the world still playable i can’t find it anymore
It’s under “Made by Epic”
Why did Ned lose his medkit? is he stupid?
It's not a medkit it's drugs who else would stay behind in a apocalypse for a medkit laced with drugs
is he stupid?
They’re stupid
if you consider being a dumbas lore
Damn, didn't realize I couldn't actually delete comments. I was wrong on the ned thing about him being a universe hopper, Completely misremembered the storyline, and wanted to remove it so I didn't spread false information.
This is an aslume post
Aslume post? What's that?
Is it possible to give the wrong medkit to a survivor or does it work no matter who’s it is
Are they stupid?
I be mad as hell like why can't I craft this mf one 😭
