Ho Ho Ho Shapers, it's time for gifts and celebration!
As 2024 comes to a close and Extaction's first public calendar year winds down, it's time for one last holiday event in Open Beta season 1... so let's just jump in!
Winter Solstice Event
This Holiday event is a bit more treats than the tricks of Holidays past - and a loot more straightforward - it's time for presents!
Presents are a new limited time item available in the Dead Zone - and each can be unwrapped at the Cryptarch for a few items. If this sounds like engrams, well... it's 'cause they are! The unique thing though is presents STACK up to 8 items per slot. This will provide the highest overall loot density on your runs we've seen to date, and serves as a way for you to potentially unlock HUNDREDS of items in a single run for those of you who feel like breaking the postmaster (RIP Pearl's inventory).
These presents are a final loot injection for this season, which will be ending sometime in Janruary where the game will take a brief break for some major refactors and upgrades for Season 2, which we will talk about more in future updates - but I am going to show you a FEW spoilers...
What's that Hiding There??
We're already working on some MASSIVE upgrades for Extraction's season season, including a total re-work of the loot pool and item population, new mechanics in the dead zones, and a full and proper implementation of HIDEOUTS.
Your hideout is going to play a more pivotal role in the world moving forward, and will require a diverse collection of items and upgrades to allow you to hone your gear sets, show off your accomplishments, and yes... even generate some more loot for you.
This is all still super early in development, but it should give you an idea as what Extraction's second season and beyond are looking like! In addition to more features for experienced and endgame players, we're also working on some tutorials and story missions (YES- MISSIONS) to help onboard new players to the game and make it more accessible. Some of this, we'll develop on stream! Some, we'll want to keep a surprise. More info soon.
