Pc Event: Tethra's Doom

[[DE]Megan]

Stop Vay Hek's plans, do not let the Grineer rebuild the Fomorian Fleet.

 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO DO

- You will receive a Blueprint from The Lotus for the Tethra Cipher Key. This will be your key to a new tileset, the hidden Grineer Shipyards. In order to craft the Cipher, you will need to collect unique data fragments by playing the Tethra's Doom Interception Mission on Earth.

- Once you have the necessary resources, you can craft the Tethra Cipher. Your Blueprint will not be consumed.

- Use your Cipher to open the Grineer Shipyards and play the NEW Hijack Game Mode.

- In Hijack, you'll need to find a Fomorian Power Core which can be released by activating the control panel.

- Once released, the core will become unstable and its health will begin to degrade. If the core runs out of health before it reaches its destination, it will rupture and kill everyone in the vicinity.

- Standing near the Power Core will move it forward. This will drain your Shield, so use resources wisely.

- Any damage it takes during the fighting will only hasten its destruction.

 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

- Once you have successfully completed your mission, the Cipher will be consumed.

- To re-play the Mission, craft a new Cipher using your Blueprint and the necessary resources.

Reward FAQ:

 

1) Event Score is your highest total score, not the total of all runs.

2) If you get a score of 500 or greater, you get ALL the rewards up to that level (Badge, Booster, Mods, Gorgon Wraith). If you get a score of 1000 or greater in the new hard mode, you get ALL the rewards up to that level (Badge, Booster, Mods, Gorgon Wraith, Quantum Badge).

 

 

Clan Leaderboards will not reflect scores contributed by alternate accounts.

 

*Rewards will be distributed later on this evening. We will update you when they go live.

Awesome!

 

Are the points cumulative or do we have to get all 500 in one run?

 

EDIT: First time being first?

Gorgon WRAITH. Why the hell can't I be on Spring Break???

[Brimir]

MY BODY IS READY

[wkfire]

Keys again? :O

[xkillo32]

omg

i want those mods and that gorgon wraith

[p8ragon]

I jizzed my pants

[Wallace24]

this sounds fun, kind reminiscent of payload in TF2, except if the cart had health

 

and usable electric damage mods? unheard of! (but seriously, shocking touch needs to be increased. now voltaic strike and focus energy are the same thing, for less, with an added bonus. rebalance necessary)

 

either way, looking forward to the event!

[Valiant]

Awesome!

Sounds like all in one run.

[GaleRoar]

It's time to dust off Nova and get my Frost Prime partner.

[AngerManagement]

Are the boosters immediate? The last one kinda backfired for me... didn't have enough forma.

edit: I guess I answered my own question. They are not.

[Arzete]

OMG. While doing the mission, I noticed that the Grineer with the snowglobe around them, the globe is plated with different sections! Frost Buff incoming?

[ToastyCalzone]

Sooo....for the event do you have to get all the points in one run like cicero...or can it be done in multiple runs

[EmperorHighRoller]

I didn't get the blueprint and.. I don't see the interception mission on earth.

 

Is it normal or I just didn't understand anything about the event?

[Thunder_Chief]

Thx for the one week event window... much obliged!

 

And a second mod to replace the gimped Shocking Touch? Nice!

 

Gorgon Wraith? Suh-weet!

[Deaths.Reap3r]

Do we recieve the mods and the gorgon if we get 500?

[TrashSpider]

Yes! Am on Spring Break that week, and I don't have to search for plants! *Though I wish we get a Vandal weapon sooner.
