Game Update 91

Enter the Tunnel of Love in 2019 with new Base Items, Feats and Styles!

The Star Sapphires are again making an effort to rekindle the love lost in Gotham City. Mister Freeze knows what the Zamaron crystals are capable of and has hatched a plan to bring his wife Nora back by integrating their crystals into his cryogenic technology. This misuse of the crystals is extremely dangerous and could cause an exothermic reaction that would destroy the entire city! Check the Events tab in the On Duty menu for “Love’s Battlefield” to aid the Star Sapphires (Heroes) or Mister Freeze (Villains).

• New Feats!
  • A Touch of Romance
  • The Big Gesture
  • You’re a Firecracker

Open your map and choose the Love is in the Air destination. Speak to Hal Jordan in the Gotham East End Police Station Safehouse (Heroes) or Mister Freeze in the Gotham North Burnley Nightclub Safehouse (Villains). While in the Safehouse, visit the terminal next to Hal Jordan or Mister Freeze to pick up a Daily Valentine’s Race mission “Get Your Heart Racing”. This mission can also be picked up at a terminal in Northeast Metropolis near Union Station.

The seasonal missions can be completed daily during the event and reset with replay badges. Also make sure to speak with Mera, who is spending Valentine’s Day on dryland apart from her dearest love. Open your Mission Journal and track “Sea of Love” to find her!

And don’t forget to visit the Valentine’s Vendor to get seasonal clothing, candies, and base items! A Valentine’s Vendor is located in the East End Safehouse (Heroes)/North Burnley Nightclub (Villains) and inside Mister Freeze’s Laboratory.








 

The Valentine's Day event beings January 31, 2019, and runs through February 28, 2019.

Game Update 90 is now available, featuring a new Seahorse race in Atlantis, updated Materials UI, Atlantean Time Capsule, and, best of all, the all-new Atlantean Lair Theme!



It's time to start construction. Upgrade your base with the new Atlantean Lair theme. Inspired by the stunning, noble halls and palaces of the undersea kingdom of Atlantis itself, this new lair theme is awash in golden details and watery vistas.

With windows looking out on the ocean floor in all of the standard alcoves, beautiful architecture, and new amenities, you might think this is the best lair theme you have ever seen - just based on the visuals. But that's not all...

This lair theme ALSO comes with an updated floor plan. Enjoy the sights from an underwater tunnel that leads to a new, wide, high-ceilinged room. The best part? Check out the corner windows, looking out on deep-water trenches and remnants of the kings of old.

Get creative with, inspired by, and immersed in the bases only you can create with the new Atlantean Lair Theme.

The Atlantean Lair Theme is now available on the in-game marketplace for 1500 Daybreak Cash (PC) or 1500 Marketplace Cash (PlayStation 4 & Xbox One). 

 





 

Head back into the sea for a special treat. Form-change into a Seahorse and race your friends through the watery streets of Atlantis! Compete for the best time and earn new rewards.

 



Atlantis is at war. Drylanders swim the deep seas. And the Atlantean Time Capsule is your ticket to fitting in on the streets of Aquaman's home. This capsule, like all Time Capsules, can be unlocked with Stabilizers or purchased directly in the Marketplace. Stabilizers can be earned in-game or purchased in the Marketplace. 

If you’re looking to learn more about how to get, open, and use a Time Capsule - or what is in previous Time Capsules - check out our helpful guide!

 

Materials everywhere! Open 15 Atlantean Time Capsules for a feat (Shimmer Me Timbers!) and the all-new Shimmer Material! Plus, be on the look out for the Dark Shimmer Material, and its chance to drop in every Atlantean Time Capsule. 



 

Inspired by Aquman's mother, Atlanna, this ancient and elegant battle armor will serve you well in your adventures in Atlantis and beyond. Become one with the oceans and Atlantean nobility, and take up the Primeval gear suit.  

You will receive a random Primeval gear piece in your loot selection window in every Atlantean Time Capsule you open. When consumed, the gear will become level-appropriate to your character. The Enhanced version of the Primeval gear will also appear (less commonly) in the loot selection window, and when consumed will also become level-appropriate to your character.   

 

 

Atlantis is full of mysteries and collections, and so is the Atlantean Time Capsule. Make a serious commitment to pain with the Commander's Harpoon Hand style (inspired by Murk), become one with the ocean floor with the Bioluminescent Material (tintable!), or take to the seas with the new movement style, Bubbles! These styles are earned through collections, which will appear in the loot selection window for every Atlantean Time Capsule. 







 

Rounding out this aquatic box of Atlantean dreams are eight new Atlantean Emblems. Rep your magical affinities with the Zodiac, Summoning, Protective, Banishing, Chaotic, Arion, Necrot, or Shielding emblems and their enhanced variants. An Atlantean emblem will appear in the loot selection window when you open every Atlantean Time Capsule.

Larfleeze is back! Find and recover the stolen gifts in Metropolis and Gotham City before it’s too late! Look for “Yuletide Fear” (Villains) or “Winter Plunderland” (Heroes) in your Mission Journal. Or alternatively you can now use the Warp Menu to head directly to the Watchtower or Hall of Doom by selecting Season’s Greedings: Hal Jordan (Hero) or Season’s Greedings: Sinestro (Villain). There are also wondrous new feats to be found!

• New Feats!
  • The Ice is Right
  • Wouldn’t it Be Ice
  • Who Are You Calling a Snowflake?
  • Northern Lights

 




Larfleeze’s greed can’t be satisfied so he is taking advantage of a heated battle between the Green Lanterns and the Sinestro Corps. Look for “Ring in the Holidays” in your Mission Journal. Players must complete “Yuletide Fear” or “Winter Plunderland” and “Season’s Greedings” in order to receive the “Ring in the Holidays” Daily Mission. Each day of the event, look for “Season’s Greedings” and “Ring in the Holidays” in your Mission Journal to complete the mission and earn Holly Leaves

Don’t forget to shop at Skeets’ Workshop to get the latest winter clothing, holiday goodies, and festive base items! Level Requirement: 10

 


Make sure you check Skeets' Workshop each day during the event for special discounts, starting December 1, 2018. Look for each day's special at the top of the in-game vendor's list, before you head out to save the holidays. Discounts make the season bright!
