HAWKED News

[Incoming Transmission: Tabytha Rasa] Only a master treasure hunter such as I can see the unseen. And what do I spy? Double-crossers and backstabbers dead-set on sinking GRAIL's bottom line. Take them out, before they join VEKTR's wicked ranks.

• Objective (Easy): Eliminate 150,000 Rival Renegades
• Community Reward: 7-day GRAIL+ Subscription
• Golden Bounty (Top Renegade): 75€/$75 Store Credit (Steam, PlayStation Store or Xbox Store)
• Golden Bounty (1 Random Renegade): 75€/$75 Store Credit (Steam, PlayStation Store or Xbox Store)
• Time Limit: July 5, 2024, 16:00 CEST – July 12, 2024, 16:00 CEST

IMPORTANT: Click “PARTICIPATE NOW” on our Bounties hub to make yourself eligible for the community reward from this Bounty and for your chance to win a Golden Bounty.

Tabytha’s back on the Riftwake, and she’s ready to help GRAIL snuff out moles and traitors secretly in the employ of VEKTR. Help her take down enemies within by defeating 150,000 rival Renegades across X-Isle.

If you succeed, all Renegades will be rewarded handsomely with 7 days of GRAIL+ (and a safer Riftware for everyone). The top-performing Renegade and one lucky bounty hunter will also receive 75€/$75 worth of credit for a storefront of their choosing (Steam, Playstation Store, or Xbox Store).

Failure to fulfill the bounty means VEKTR’s infiltration of GRAIL will continue. This cannot be allowed.

*The Terms & Conditions for this Golden Bounty can be found here.
[h3]What are Bounties?[/h3]
Bounties are a new weekly challenge system in HAWKED. Keep an eye on the official website and social channels to take on the latest Bounty, then play HAWKED, work together as a community, and smash the objective within the time limit to get an exclusive reward.

If the objective is reached, Bounties will be awarded to all Renegades who fulfill the following criteria:

• Clicked “PARTICIPATE NOW” on the Bounties hub.
• Logged in and played at least one match in HAWKED during the Bounty period.

Bounties vary by difficulty. While one Bounty might be a breeze, certain Bounties need an extra push to nail the objective.

Special Golden Bounties, including physical and real-world prizes, may also be awarded to top bounty hunters and random Renegades, so check back often for opportunities to win big prizes.

When all’s said and done, what matters most on X-Isle is your gun and how well you aim it. Precious few Renegades ever earned the title “Gunslinger”, but you can start earning that name for yourself with the rootin’ and tootin’ Gunslinger Bundle (225 GE-0 Cash).

Don’t miss the Gunslinger Outfit and tons of other limited-time cosmetics from now until July 11.



To visit the Shop and check out the full collection, stop by the lower deck of the Riftwake and chat with GE-0 or access it via the navigation menu.

Stay frosty, Renegades. The HAWKED servers will soon be undergoing scheduled maintenance. The game will not be playable during this time.

• Maintenance Start: 04/07/2024: 10:00 CEST / 01:00 PDT
• Expected Downtime: 1.5 hours
