MISSIONS AND SYSTEMS

Introducing: War Games!
- Revisit your storm shield bases and test your defenses against demanding and destructive simulations. Simulations will exist in all biomes and we will be adding more as the season progresses. The first four are:
  - Shattered: A tornado is wreaking havoc on your fort! This simulation destroys your structures and throws both players and enemies into the air.
  - Burning Zones: Volcanic fissures populate this simulation, and pools of lava erupt from the ground, damaging structures and turning enemies into fire elementals.
  - Rejection: During this simulation, more and more anomalous cracks will appear around the defense point. If you stay too close to these dangers, it will sap your energy and health!
  - Safety Zone: With your storm shield down, you'll have to rely on portable shield generators. Stay inside these protective bubbles or feel the effects of the storm. Enemies will prioritize destroying shield generators, so you'll have to protect them!
- In each simulation, players will have to defend their base for seven minutes. Then a random amp will be selected to defend another seven minutes.
  - Collect the "time traps" that appear in the surroundings to reduce the time of the waves.
- War Games pose a greater challenge since it is necessary for another player to revive you when you are low on health. If things go wrong, you will fail in your War Games, so if you are playing alone you only have one life to complete the simulation.
- If the simulations don't seem like a challenge to you, you can apply one of the nine challenge modifiers to get additional rewards. These challenges include:
  - Rolling Fog: Heavy fog obstructs your field of vision and enemies do not appear on the minimap.
  - At Close Range: Enemies appear much closer to your base.
  - Husk Plague: Only basic husks spawn, but with a much higher power level.
  - No construction zone - no construction, no repairs, and no pickaxe.
  - Heavy Explosives - Shells explode when removed. Take them out before they get too close!
  - Trapped - All of your traps are disabled and cannot be placed in this challenge.
  - Full Time: No time traps appear in this simulation challenge.
  - Surprise: The War Games simulation is random and will switch to another in the second wave.
  - Mind games: you must eliminate damaged enemies with a headshot!
- The difficulty and rewards of Wargames are based on the account level of the lowest-level player in the party, and averaged with the public characters assisting you on the mission. This way we ensure that there is always a challenge in any area of the storm shield.
- The challenge of War Games is greater the more players join the mission as the number and power of the enemies increases.
War Games Event Missions!
- Wargames begins with missions from the Wargames Basic Training Ground! These missions will help players discover the characteristics of War Games while earning rewards for it. Learning can be fun!
- Each type of War Games simulation offers a one-time mission, earning event tickets and a unique banner to demonstrate your achievement.
- Each War Games challenge has a mission that can be completed only once and earns you event tickets.
- Repeatable missions are available to complete in both War Games simulations and challenges.
War Games Daily Challenge Missions
- Every day there are new challenges in the War Games and Storm Shields and you will have to complete a combination of simulation and challenge in a specific area.
- As you progress and unlock new zones in the game, you will be able to unlock a daily War Games challenge slot associated with that zone for a total of 4 per day.
- Completing them will earn you rewards like event tickets and gold!
Storm Shield Quality of Life Updates
- Every time you start a Storm Shield Defense or War Games mission, the layout of your fort will be saved. When you finish the Storm Shield mission, the fort will return to the last save point. This includes all structures and traps (lifespan) that were placed before the mission began. Any structures or traps that are placed after the mission begins will be cleared at the end of the mission.
Community watch
- Enter the Storm Shield in any zone to join the Community Watch program!
- Help other players defend their Storm Shields or go on new War Games missions for a change of scene. This updated matchmaking system prioritizes Storm Shield mission types.
- These matchmaking options are similar to Play With Others and offer a 20% XP bonus.
Before starting a Storm Shield Defense or a War Games mission, players can choose to "Wait for Help" so that at least one other public player will join in before the mission begins.
Reorganized Woody Summits:
- Woody Peaks missions now follow a linear path to make it easier to understand than the old structure.
- Quests have been added to each Woody Heights region for more variety of quests and for players to have more opportunities to earn different loot from quests.
- At least one additional party quest has been added for each difficulty level.
The frequency of XP rewards has been reduced in the more advanced missions of Woody Heights so that there are other types of rewards more often.
Environment health progress in the most advanced part of Woody Peaks has been reduced so that it does not exceed the damage progress of the pickaxe.
- Target practice!
- There is a new sideshow activity for skeet shooting in missions. How many clay pigeons can you shoot down?
The beta storms are gone for the moment, although we hope they will return in the future.
Mission alert timings and limits have been simplified.
- Mission alerts now appear on the map once a day, always at the same time (around two in the morning).
  - The missions are also updated with the same timer.
- Mission Alerts are no longer limited to 24 hours. Instead, each alert that appears on the map can be completed once a day.
- A tick will appear on mission alerts you have already completed today, indicating that that mission alert will not return any additional rewards until it is reset the next day.
Weekly missions
- Players will be on a mission to complete 10 mission alerts once a week.
- When they are completed you can select a reward that will consist of a good amount of event tickets, gold or perk materials.
- The difficulty requirements of the mission and the amount of the reward will increase, depending on your progress in the Storm Shield.
- If you finish the week with the mission halfway through, your progress will be saved for the following week (instead of restarting with a new mission).
