Rescue contracts are now available at select forts on the Archipelago. Travel to Castle Orenvaald or the Tsuchev Ruins with your harpoon equipped ship to take on these new contracts. Rescue contracts require you to travel to a nearby island, locate the rescue ship, and escort it back to the fort that provided the contract.
The rescues have lost their weapons and propellers and their balloons are severely damaged. Harder contracts require hauling heavier ships. Rewards are based on the rescue's distance from the fort and contract rank. On top of the normal resource rewards you can unlock two new cosmetics for completing rescues of any rank and rescues of B rank or higher.
Join us on Discord for public playtests Friday at 12pm ET, Saturday at 3pm ET, and Monday at 7pm ET.
