Firefall Fest is here for two days only with exciting gameplay, featured guests, prizes, and releases of in-game items. Gamers also receive complimentary Red 5 Studios warpaint for logging in during the 9th or 10th — who doesn’t like free stuff?
A new PvP gametype, Jetball, has been added. The rules are as follows:
A ball spawns in the center of the map with two goals near each spawn area.
As a team, players work to score goals an earn points — one point for throwing the ball through the enemy goal, and three points for carrying the ball through the enemy goal. Scoring in your own team’s goal results in points for the enemy team. There are three periods, each lasting five minutes. If the score remains tied at the end of the game, a fourth period ensues and sudden death begins. And, as always, the highest score wins the game.
Three new Melding Pockets have been added: Antartica, Sargasso Sea, and Diamond Head. Thumping here opens the door for special encounters that help create the key for Blackwater Anomaly. This is a five-player PvE experience in which players fight the Chosen in a 40-60 minute co-op.
The New Player Experience has been altered to introduce gamers to Firefall with more ease — a very important adjustment, as Firefall continues to attract new gamers.
This is only a highlight of all the new patch has to offer.
