Celebrity, Legend, Renegade: Meet Tabytha Rasa

VEKTR has demonstrated just how compromised GRAIL’s ranks are. To deal with the traitors and spies, the higher-ups have called in a legendary Renegade: Tabytha Rasa, the Fearless Blade.

Tabytha’s orders are very clear: hunt down and put a stop to the infiltration of GRAIL by VEKTR. Renegades must help her snuff out the traitors and moles in hiding, uncover the secrets of VEKTR, and put a stop to their operations on X-Isle.
[h2]About Tabytha Rasa, the Fearless Blade[/h2]
Tabytha Rasa is what every Renegade strives to become. A former child prodigy hailing from Morocco, she started hunting for treasure in her teen years. Naturally, when she grew older and joined the ranks of GRAIL, she immediately became a legend among Renegades. She was a cunning warrior, a resourceful treasure hunter, and a master with the blade.

Respect for Tabytha goes beyond her treasure-hunting skills, as she also has countless exciting stories to tell of her adventures. Her escapades became so popular that they spawned a line of comic books and even an animated TV series called “Tabytha, the Teenage Treasure Hunter”, which charted her adventures alongside her raccoon sidekick.

After Bodhi Hogan’s betrayal, GRAIL needed an operative to clean up the leaks, find the moles, and take care of any other traitors hiding in the organization. Tabytha Rasa was called in by the top brass to make heads or tails of this situation on Riftwake.
[h2]Missions and Quests[/h2]
Once Tabytha shows up on Riftwake, she’ll begin to look for traitors and leaks in GRAIL. You can help her by starting the Tabytha on the Hunt questline, Act 1 of her daring mission to take down Bodhi and VEKTR.

Talk to Tabytha aboard the Riftwake. She’ll be occupying Bodhi’s old room after having thrown out all his stuff. This apparently struck a nerve with the traitor and is part of Tabytha’s plan to get him to come out of hiding. Maybe you can use this to uncover more information on how Bodhi has recruited Renegades to his cause.

Bounty: Defeat Bodhi to Win a Steam Deck or Graphics Card (June 28–July 5)

[Incoming Transmission: BODHI HOGAN] “GRAIL lost its spark a long time ago. There’s nothing left for me here. Only VEKTR can give me what I truly seek. Get lost, and don’t let me see you rooting ‘round X-Isle again.”

[Incoming Transmission: GE-0] “I can't h-h-h000000ld them o--” [Transmission Terminated]

[Incoming Transmission: VEKTR] “Now then, ya set of eggs! Despite fair warning, I hear you've been messing with our guys, looting our booty, and even nabbing Wonderium. What do I have to do to get you off our back once and for all? If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll bloody well get. You. Me. X-Isle. No holds barred. I'll be waiting.”

[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 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.

Limited-Time Mode: Go Wonderium Crazy in Wonder Rush ‘til July 13!

Wonderium veins are popping up around X-Isle! Get out there and mine as much Wonderium as you can in Wonder Rush, as the Limited-Time PvP Duo Mode returns from now until July 13.

Read on to find out more about Wonder Rush and when you can play!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h2]Limited Time Mode: Wonder Rush (June 28–July 13)[/h2]
Leave no vein untapped as you rush to mine Nuggets and Motherlodes of Wonderium across X-Isle. Trust your Traverser to ping nearby veins, and bash away to collect X-Isle’s precious minerals ‘til your bags are full. Get your precious cargo to an Extraction Point to increase your score.

Keep your Duo partner close, but your loot even closer—rival Renegades are out for the spoils, and it’s just as fair to take what’s mined. You’ll lose all the Wonderium you’re carrying if knocked down, but the same goes for your opponents.

With unlimited respawns at random points in effect across the island, no Disciples in sight, and stashes containing only rare weapons, the risk looks tempting!



The first team to 500 Wonderium will trigger the end-of-match countdown. Whoever nabs the top spot by the end of the match will be crowned the victors.

Chat with GE-0 back at the Riftwake to see what deals he’s got for your hard-earned spoils!
[h2]Event Schedule[/h2]
To ensure optimal matchmaking, Wonder Rush is available to play during the following dates and times:
  • Wednesdays: 02:00–03:00 UTC / 18:00–22:00 UTC
  • Fridays: 02:00–03:00 UTC / 18:00–22:00 UTC
  • Saturdays: 02:00–03:00 UTC / 18:00–22:00 UTC

You can convert UTC into your local timezone here.

Dive into Wonder Rush until July 13, and be sure to check out everything new in the Venture 2 update!

New Update: Legends Rise in Venture 2!

Tech and treasure hunting go head-to-head in Venture 2 of Issue #2: Dark Arrival, a major new update now available on all platforms!

Legends rise as a kick-ass, not-that-old Renegade from GRAIL’s ‘old guard’ returns to the fray to fight VEKTR. Extract and exploit the ancient abilities of new Artifacts, shoot foes down with new weapons, wield innovative new Gear, and master four new Class Cards — just make sure not to fall prey to the Trinket tracker Agent Kappa!

For a full breakdown of all the changes in the Venture 2 update, check out the Update Notes.
[h2]Tabytha Rasa Returns: GRAIL Reaches for a Star![/h2]
While Renegades have done well patching up the Riftwake, GRAIL has called on a legendary hand at the hunt to deal with the more ‘unconventional’ leaks. Any Renegade worth their salt has heard of The Fearless Blade, and now Tabytha Rasa herself has boarded the Riftwake!

Tabytha Rasa knows Renegades. You could even say she built the brand. While she’s not just here to seek and destroy, join her on her hunt in a new Questline to bring Bodhi to justice and learn a thing or two about how she got her title.


[h2]New X-Isle Discoveries![/h2]
As the hunt rages on, a few changes and discoveries have taken place across X-Isle.
  • Grab a Glyph: Never cross a Renegade! The Cross Glyph empowers your first shot or weapon hit to a target (Empowered shot bonuses from other sources do not stack).
  • Encounter Danger: In addition to VEKTR taking over Disciple shrines, there’s a new threat on the block. Agent Kappa rose to infamy for taking aim at Renegades carrying more than just the essentials in their Backpacks. Take care out there, he might just have his sights on your loot next, but take him out first, and he’ll drop an Artifact. Go from hunted to hunter!
  • Check for Traps: Hoping to foil GRAIL’s efforts of retaking the island, VEKTR has set a few surprises across X-Isle. Alarm Sirens have been raised to disorient intruding Renegades, Shield Domes will block incoming projectiles, and Ping Towers temporarily highlight surrounding enemies, caches, traps, and chests when activated. A smart move, but Renegades have a knack for turning such things to their advantage.

[h2]Loadout Innovations![/h2]
Hurtle wits first into Venture 2 with a fresh array of abilities to suit your skill set.
  • 3 New Artifacts to Loot: Soak in the Healing waters of the Serpent’s Solace, harness the Revenger’s Lamp to highlight threats, or overwhelm your foes with nimble dashes and ferocious melee strikes with the Pioneer’s Piton.
  • 2 New Guns to Shoot: Alternate between lightly tapping for restrained burst fire and holding down the trigger to let the Gundog loose. Or, get your hands on the Brimstone revolver for high-power punishment in the form of five low-spread spray shots.
  • Gear to Boot: A simple fix to tricky situations, the Smoke Blast Ward Gear is a useful gadget that’ll blast out and push away any enemies at close quarters. It’ll also smoke out profusely upon use, but that’s just a feature to hide your quick escape to more fortunate circumstances!
  • 4 Class Cards as Tribute: A new cast of Renegades has joined the deck! Imbue your Loadout with the elusiveness of Wally Smokes, the healing flow of Kaia Shorebreak, the omniscience of Far-Eyed Faysal, or the mastery of The Fearless Blade, Tabytha Rasa.

[h2]Bountiful Fridays![/h2]
