Greeting Cutters,
This week, we are back as promised with a new update introducing to you R.A.C.E. (Rapid Acquisition Competence Exercise)!
The Weekly R.A.C.E. is a new initiative from LYNX where Cutters can compete against each other for a highscore on a new ship every week. It’s a level playing field, with each Cutter getting the same tools and upgrades, facing the same ship and objectives, for a shot at the dedicated R.A.C.E. leaderboards. LYNX hopes that this weekly challenge will help Cutters hone their skills and improve their day-to-day salvage efficiency!
ADVISORY: Putting a pressurized airlock into the furnace may cause a crash when working on a Mackerel. Be sure to depressurize airlocks before putting them into the furnace.
The weekly challenge ends every Thursday at 8:30 AM PST (3:30 PM UTC), and a new ship will be available shortly after at 9:30 AM PST (4:30 PM UTC).
