They might drop equipment with new Augments or even a Rappy Suit Mini: ARKS!

*The ARKS Rappy only appears in new Rooms created after the campaign starts. A new Room can be created by accepting a quest, setting a password, and then checking the Also Limit Multiplayer Requests from Other Parties box. After accepting the quest, select Party Commands under Community in the Main Menu, and change the Password Settings under Party Settings to allow other players to join.

  • The account may no longer be eligible to receive the gift if all characters that met the requirements are deleted.
  • In PSO2 Blocks, to prevent server overload, some notifications, such as incoming mail, Alliance invitations, and campaign items will not be displayed if you log in during an Urgent Quest. Even though the notification is not displayed, incoming mail, Alliance invitations, and campaign items will be delivered normally.
  • The ARKS Rappy does not appear in Trigger Quests.
