What’s New?

🏳 Bye Bye, Lockboxes and Faction Coins. Hello, Faction Store.

• We are going to retire the Lockboxes and replace them with a completely new Faction Store.
• Additionally, the current Faction Coins will retire as well with the upcoming Update. So make sure to SPEND THEM all now! But worry not, there will be a new Faction currency. 
• More cool stuff coming in this update! Just continue reading! 🥳

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 NEW Faction Environment

🔎 Improved Faction Recommendations

• Thanks to our improved Faction recommendations, new players, or players who are looking for more actions will have it easier to join an active Faction.
  • They will see a list of recommended active Factions that they are qualified to join.
  • A Quick Join button will allow them a frictionless experience.

🧙 NEW FACTION QUESTS: Solo and Group

• For many players, it is important to play and work together in an active Faction.
• Your hard work completing the Quests will be rewarded with awesome prizes in the new Faction store.
• The more participants daily the more Faction currencies your Faction can earn and obviously the more rewards you can claim in the end.

• 

• 

• Solo Quests
  • You get 3 daily Solo quests.
  • Each quest grants new faction currency and a “Star”.
  • Strive to complete these tasks and collect all the Stars for your Faction.
    
    
• Group Quests
  • Work with your Faction to complete these weekly quests.
    • Example: Play X Showdown matches
    • Increase Superstar Levels
    • Spend Faction Coins
    • Complete Expeditions
    • …and more!
  • The requirements for these quests scale with your Faction Tier.
  • Completed group quests grant you milestone progress points.

⬆ Increased Max Faction Level

• The Faction Tier Limit will be increased to 200, which helps you compete with other Factions for prestige.
• Additionally, we will remove the Faction Tokens to help lower Faction to climb up the Faction Tiers and make faster progress.

🛒 ALL-NEW Faction Store

• Spend your new Faction Coins in this all-new Faction Store!
• It refreshes on a regular basis, but can also be manually refreshed, similar to the Showdown Shop.
• Get Epic Straps, Strap Parts, Rush Tokens, and more resources!
• Additionally, you can obtain currency for the brand-new GEAR LOOT, which offers most of the existing gears!

🧙 IMPROVED Expeditions

• Expeditions now source the new Faction Coins, which you can use in the new Faction Store.
• Legendary Expeditions can contain Epic Straps now!
• Also, instead of Common Straps, you will now find Strap Parts in Expeditions!
• To get the most out of those improved Expeditions, you and your Faction will have to fulfill more challenging objectives.
• In addition to these changes, we will reduce the 30-minute Rush Tokens to 5-minute Rush Tokens.

📊 IMPROVED ACTIVITY TRACKING

• Key to Faction-success are active members, that’s why you should see only relevant and useful activity information.
• The Faction Activity Log will now show only important “milestones” for a player. Celebrate their latest enhancements/fuse ups or even high-rarity Superstars from Loot!
• You will now also gain visibility into a member’s contribution towards Faction activities.
