[Incoming Transmission: Tabytha Rasa]"GRAIL was founded by the greatest treasure hunters in the world. Go show our enemies what we do best."

• Objective (Expert): Extract 25,000 Artifacts
• Community Reward: 7-day GRAIL+ Subscription

As Renegades, you’ve always been key members of our GRAIL family. Show the world what you can do, and exactly why you’re the best looters the world has ever seen by extracting a haul of 25,000 Artifacts… hardly a test for the best!

Your services will be rewarded with a 7-day GRAIL+ Subscription, granting you closer ties to our GRAIL treasure-hunting family. Enjoy extra Quests, a daily care Booster package, +20% experience, additional Lockbox storage, and more benefits so you may continue to loot for the cause at optimal consistency.

And, of course, nothing less than a Golden Bounty of an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 OR DualSense Edge™ for our golden Renegades; the top Artifact Extractor, and a randomly chosen participant.

Happy extracting!

[h2]What are Bounties?[/h2]
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.

Take your loot to the grave. Grab the Spooky Pack Backpack, a new addition to the Halloween collection alongside the Devil Hound Avatar, Grim Reaper Zed 92 Skin, and Flying Coffin Hoverboard.

They’ll continue to haunt the Shop this week alongside a collection of discounts on the Chroma Zeybek Color Scheme (30% off!), Glaze Weapon Pattern (25% off!), and Wireframe Weapon Pattern (20% off!), all available until Nov. 7!



Visit the Shop to find the full collection of cosmetics, stop by the lower deck of the Riftwake and chat with GE-0, or access it via the navigation menu.

Something eerie is afoot. The Riftwake’s got a ghoulish new groove and has become a favorite haunt of sorts for ghosts, carved pumpkins, and all manner of creepy curiosities! This Halloween in HAWKED, join wicked streams for wicked prizes like the Tentacap Hat (Unisex), carve up a Jack O’Lantern Helmet (Unisex) in a special Halloween Bounty, and find your costume with a Shop collection of spooktacular cosmetics.

Fortunately, it’s just a nightmare before whatever comes after Halloween, so get your fill of fright by November 7, 09:00 UTC!
[h2]SCREAM STREAMS[/h2]
Join if you dare, but don’t get caught by the Halloween scare! Join CMs Nimue and KT_Peridot for a Raffle Stream to test your fortunes, and dress up for a Halloween Stream to venture through the haunting of the Riftwake and perhaps brave a surprise or two for a chance to nab the Tentacap Hat (Unisex).

• Raffle Stream: Oct. 29, 20:30 CET/3:30 PM EDT
• Halloween Stream: Oct. 31, 16:30 CET/11:30 AM EDT

[h2]SHOP SPOOKLIGHT! HOCUS POCUS[/h2]
The Shop has been bewitched by all manner of frightful outfits and devilish deals.

As GRAIL vs VEKTR rages on, have you nabbed all the loot to be had? A new age for X-Isle looms ahead, along with changes to our storefronts. The Jungle Jaunts, Renegade Rave, Singularity Packs, and all their items will no longer be available to purchase from November 13—so don’t delay!

[h2]Renegade Rave Pack[/h2]
Exactly as stated on the tin, this Starter Pack is bursting with essentials to get the party started!

• Decked Out Hoverboard
• Plugged In Traverser
• GRAIL+ Subscription (30 Days)

GRAIL+ lets you maximize your looting with a 20% Experience boost, daily perks, one additional Lockbox Slot, one weekly Quest, and two daily Quests while active!


[h2]Singularity Pack[/h2]
Trust the science. According to GRAIL’s research team, this Starter Pack is scientifically proven to amplify all cool by 3.7x (we don’t get it either).

• Paradigm Shift Outfit ♀ (contains Headwear, Chest, and Legs)
• Supergravity Hoverboard

[h2]Jungle Jaunts Pack[/h2]
The hunt’s as much about exploration as it is about the loot. Explore the dense jungles of X-Isle, and look the part as you do, too.

• Rainforest Outfit ♂ (contains Headwear, Chest and Legs)
• Adventurer Traverser

They’ll be off the shelves soon, so make sure to grab ‘em before November 13!
