COMING JUNE 12 AT 8PM ET – THE BOWLER RETURNS TO THE EVENT STORE!

COMING JUNE 19, 2021 AT 8PM ET – GET READY FOR YOUR NEXT GREAT VENTURE AND LOAD UP FOR HIT THE ROAD!
RETURN TO THE BLASTED BADLANDS VENTURE!
Get ready for a new Ventures Season, Commanders. The next Save the World Ventures Season sends us back to the Blasted Badlands!
Beginning June 19, 2021 at 8PM ET, join your fellow Commanders in the Blasted Badlands and battle the Husks with the returning (and newly improved) Rage Meter modifier. Also to note, Venture Level rewards and experience gained has been updated to match previous recent Venture Seasons.
Rather than constantly draining your energy, this modifier now just prevents energy from regenerating on it’s own. Battle the Husks to refill your energy and then wreak havoc with your abilities.
Unchanged from the last Blasted Badlands Season, Rage Meter drastically reduces your ability cooldowns and increases their damage. Energy management is key here, Commanders! It’s wise to fill your energy bar before taking on the next wave of husks.
This Ventures Season is expected to conclude on September 4, 2021.

LOAD UP THE VAN! IT’S TIME TO HIT THE ROAD

Week 1 of each driver is simple: Escort the van and tackle the modifier. On their second rotation, beware the modifier stacking. Load up the van and gather your group because it’s time to Hit the Road. Complete week 1 of Hit the Road to unlock Rex Jonesy.
