Wipe Updates for August, 2024

#1 · July 29, 2024, 10:54 am

It's time to wipe those booties once again. Hoping the start of this wipe comes a bit smoother. This August wipe is a 5 week wipe cycle, so we will be wiping on week 3 (August 22nd). This is just a map wipe, you will keep your blueprints, quarries, and PJs.

Changes & new stuff:

New more difficult cargo ship event (which is set on a different timer, so more cargo ship spawns throughout the day)... keep a look out for it (a Cobalt secured cargo ship).
We have added two new guns. Both guns can be purchased at the gunsmith in Outpost.
Triton is a modified LR with 70 rounds, more than double the dmg, permanent silencer, halo, and flashlight (the silencer won't break). Note: you cannot add or remove attachments on this gun.
A MAC-10 was also added, a modded custom SMG with 100 rounds and double the dmg.
We have a new boss at Power Plant (named Vellum). Killing them will yield you 2,000 XP and a new sword called Unholy Vengeance (triple swing dmg). Ambrose at Outpost has the quest!
A bike vendor is now up (along with a new vehicle vendor) at Outpost (out front). Dan sells the pedal bike, trike, motorbike and the motorbike with the sidecar. Speedy Motors!
An airwolf has been added to Outpost. You can purchase minicopters, attack helis, etc. here (see screen shot below).
Added 4 new medium raidbases.
You can now jump on airdrops like the jellyfish in Nemo. No more fly-kicking. This includes the new sky balloon event and minicopters.
Wildfang's HP was been increased from 3500 to 4200.
Fire should now do damage when raiding raidbases/turrets.

MVP this month goes to: nautica4132, Rava, Dakka

Mid-wipe changes:

We increased the bubble size of the raidbases. Some players were reporting that the walls were outside of some of the bubbles. Not allowing you to do damage. Extended the bubbles out a bit.
Chad's protection timer has been extended out a bit more to allow the player/team enough time to kill him.
Updated our /rules page ingame.
Fixed car vendor selling cars with crappy parts. Should have been HQM parts. Fixed now. Sorry about that.
Gambling wheel cannot be picked up now. We had to do this to patch a glitch.
~~Moved medium flying raidbases to hard. No flying raidbases will be under easy or medium moving forward.~~ All flying raidbases can now be accessed from the ground via nets or ladders.

New changes for this 5 week wipe (won't be active until August 22):

Five mini events that run randomly throughout the day with a leaderboard (listed below). Winning rewards you with 1,500 XP:
Barrels Be Gone - break barrels to win.
NPC Nemesis - kill NPCs to win (scientists or Darkzone AI).
Crate Craze - loot crates to win.
Reel It In - catch fish/sharks to win.
Bounty of the Land - collect resources to win (wood, stone, ore).
Victor's Monster (The Monster) has a high chance of dropping the Reaper. Loot is locked to the player that does the most damage to him during the event. His health has also been buffed from 18,500 to 25,000.
3 new easy raidbases, 3 new medium raidbases. 2 new impossible/expert raidbases.
Flying raidbases no longer require a mini, attack heli, etc. to access. They will now spawn on the ground with a ladder for you to climb up. You can scale the nets to get up to the base :). All flying bases will be like this moving forward.
