Riptide the Raid


Last updated 4/16/2014 10:30 PM MST

Upcoming Event: 70, Riptide the Raid, will start on 2014-04-17 10:00:00:00 MST and end on 2014-04-23 10:00:00:00 MST (still only 6 days based on what is in the files Kixeye!)

15 levels of a new target, ID #30 (Warzones?)

Per post a few days ago, here is the 1 day warning:
Description:  This is our chance! Attack Warzones while your enemies clash, but beware - it's every Captian for himself! Succeed and you'll earn the new Berserker Hull. Equipped with Chaos Mortars, the Berserker gains power through damage, overloading its unstable core and laying waste to all opposition.

Think you can redeem 6 prizes out of 40, but I never have read this section well, so could be blow smoking on this one.

3 sets of targets:

  • 1-5
  • 6-10
  • 11-15

Group Bonuses:

  • A - 1.5m, 1.6m, 1.7m, 1.8m, 2m
  • B - 500k, 550k, 600k, 650k, 750k
  • C - 50k, 55k, 60k, 65k, 75k

Uranium Rewards:

  • 100,000 - 100
  • 200,000 - 250
  • 2,000,000 - 500
  • 5,000,000 - 2,000

Other info for tomorrow's raid (some of this is known from forums, some is new):

  • Berserker - Use Chaos Mortars for maximum efficiency.  More armor means more Overloads per combat. Reaver weapons work best with the Overload salvo boost. Size x-large, 9 weapon slots.
  • High-lander's Nuclear Cruiser - Equip with Launchers for maximum effect.  Focus fire on single targets to trigger Launcher stacking effects.  Pair with ships that need Radioactive resistance.
  • Grimshine's Berserker - Use Chaos Mortars for maximum efficiency.  More armor means more Overloads per combat.  Pair with Reaver ships and weapons for maximum carnage.
  • Chaos Mortar - A heavily modified ship mounted mortar capable of firing hybridized Reaver mortar shells. The explosions from this weapon will deal a chaotic blast of various damage types.

Things you'll be fighting:
  • Rad Shockwave Hull - Draconian rush down hull that deploys a radioactive field to damage at extreme close range. Like a drac piranha.  Size Large, 2 weapon slots
  • Elite Salvage Hull - Draconian Elite Salvage Hull used as fodder for Warzones.  Size Medium, 2 weapon slots
  • Reaver Drone Torpedo.  Size small, 2 weapon slots (Cloak detection I'd assume)
  • Nav Relay Mothership.  Size x-large, 20 weapon slots
Other "things":

  • cryo field
  • cryo projectile
  • chaos projectile

New Bookmark:

  • Warzone - Draconian and Reaver forces are clashing.
