It's that time of year, Commanders!

Holly Jolly Ransom Quest Line

Time to decorate trees, sing holiday songs, and… resolve hostage situations? Help Homebase’s Heroes rescue Crackshot in the new Holly Jolly Ransom questline.

Frostnite Returns!

Stay warm during this long winter night! Keep the Burner filled with scavenged BluGlo because when it runs out, things get real cold, real quick. As the burner health decreases the Storm Shield shrinks, so fill ‘er up! 

Survive as long as you can with only your basic starting weapons, schematics, and wits to protect you.

The Krampus Smashers who dwell in these cold regions are dangerous but worth the fight, dropping some much needed BluGlo. Be on the lookout for weekly challenges in the coming weeks!

General’s Bootcamp

“Best defense? Better offense? Let’s have both! We’re gonna need it. We’ve got Smarter Smashers, and Husks Healing Husks headed our way. We’re in for a frosty fight, Commanders” - The General

Homebase protocol dictates that Heroes be in tip top shape to deal with the new threats of the Husks. The General has supercharged Homebase’s max level Heroes with more ability damage (up to +72% Ability Damage), reinforced Health and Shields (up to +42%), and significantly faster harvesting in late Twine Peaks.
 

Clip’s Corner

“Let’s talk traps and weapons. I went ahead and fixed up your Ward Trap. I was thinking we could use something to take out lobber skulls and propane tanks, so say goodbye Ward Trap, and hello Anti-Air Trap. 

We tweaked the Gas Traps to have a tighter focus. They no longer deal DoT, so make sure you find a way to keep the husks under under your traps. And if you’re like me, and you hate getting swarmed by thousands of angry bees, you’ll be happy to know you can now use Gas Traps to take out bee swarms.

In the latest round of testing, our Launcher Traps aren’t able to get smashers off the ground. The problem is, Smashers are huge. 

Finally, I toned down The Storm King’s Wrath a bit. Guess I didn’t know my own strength when I made that one. It still packs a punch, but I’ve made it eligible for a reset. 

Keep up the good fight out there!” - Clip
