Happy birthday, WPOARMY! The Anniversary Update has arrived! And what is a celebration without gifts and surprises? So let's unwrap the secrets of Update 38: 1/ TWO ANNIVERSARY CHAIN EVENTS: The first one starts on August 26 and ends on August 29! And the second one will be from August 31 to September 4! The Anniversary Chain Event, a.k.a. the World Festival, will bring a series of events that will fill your bag with some sweet rewards! The points gathered in each sub-event are counted on a festive leaderboard, which will get you rewards based on your position. And, of course, every point you get in every event helps you unlock the three milestone rewards! 2/ THE HOLIDAY RUSH EVENT You will be able to score points in the event by sending a march to gather the cupcakes from the map! They will earn you both milestone and leaderboard rewards. Get as many points as possible to climb higher on the event leaderboard and get even more prizes, depending on your placement. 3/ THE HOLIDAY MADNESS EVENT Go to the Games Room during the Chain Event and test your luck on the Holiday Madness machine. Play between August 26 and September 5, and check out the two modes: Regular and Precise. The regular mode will include all rewards in the pool, while the Precise mode will let you narrow down the reward options and increase your chance of getting what you need! In Precise mode, you can choose from five reward categories: War, Faction Wars, Commander, Base and Crafting. There will also be a festive Holiday Madness event, in which your spins will give you points that will unlock milestone rewards and leaderboard prizes based on placement. 4/ BY POPULAR DEMAND: a) We reduced the Army Preset requirement to level 10. b) Increased resources in the Elite Deposits. c) We added 1-minute rallies. You will have 1-, 5- and 15-minute ones. d) We decreased the Renegade Revenge cooldown from 24 to 23 hours. e) Increased Repair Gear currency in Faction Wars. f) Unit rewards based on HQ level. All new players will receive a 1-day Peace Shield for every HQ level until they reach level 7. g) When you join a faction for the first time, you will receive five Faction Teleports. h) Trader offers for Faction Hearts, Intel, and Emoji Bucks. 5/ ANNIVERSARY CRAFTING & VANITY ITEMS: The Motherboard onboard electronics will give more power to the Veteran Gear Set. The celebration will also bring new badass avatars, emojis and a profile frame. And there will be a new Base Decoration - the Andromeda City! 6/ OFFENSIVE COMMANDER ADD-ON: The Firebolt Missiles add-on flies in to smash the opposition. 7/ RENEGADES: The Vixen Force Renegades are coming to the PvE scene to conquer everything!
