Hey Raiders,
When you’re topside, it’s best to leave your grudges behind. But Speranza reminds us that living in the Rust Belt doesn’t mean we have to lose our humanity. It’s crucial for us to look out for one another.
That’s the spirit behind the Shared Watch, an annual event focused on teamwork and camaraderie. This holiday celebrates those who help others and fight our real enemies, the machines. Whether you team up or take out some ARC foes, it’s all about solidarity.
What’s New?
- Shared Watch
- Join forces against the machines starting today until February 24. Earn merits for destroying or assisting in battles, but remember, no merits come from PvP fights. Don’t forget your ammo!
- Cold Snap Map Condition
- Cold weather is back! The Cold Snap condition means winter is still in full swing.
- Watch out for frostbite damage; shelter is key. Those brave enough to explore will find valuable loot.
- Candleberries are available for collection anytime, and you can now throw snowballs—use them wisely!
- New Cosmetics
- Check out the Vulpine and Slugger sets for a fresh look.
