New Year’s workbench with lots of parts, favourite brawls, festive atmosphere in the garage, and a new relic weapon — those are the ingredients for a great winter celebration! Happy upcoming holidays, survivors!
The “New Year” event
Attention! The event and the workbench will be available from December 18 to January 14 inclusive!
Throughout the “New Year” event, players can participate in the special brawls to earn crackers.
The crackers and other resources and parts can be used at the special “Workshop” workbench to produce a number of cosmetic items, as well as parts with predetermined upgrades!
During the event, you can produce the unique “King duck” decor using the “Ninjaduck”, “Springduck”, “Beachduck” and “Hailduck” (3 pcs. each). You can keep this decor for your collection or use it to produce the “Judgment day arsenal” container. It gives you 1 non-tradable relic part of your choice (except for the “Destroyer” grenade launcher and the new “AC96 Anomaly” autocannon).
After the event ends, all crackers that have not been used will disappear from storage.
As December 24 approaches, keep a close eye on your garage and don’t miss out on a small New Year gift!
