Pink Algae Bloom! Spring Archelon

[h2]Spring Event Skin[/h2]
For a limited time, players will be able to unlock and earn the Archelon Skal Spring Event skin. The skin has two separate bioluminescent regions, one on the body and one on the shell.

This skin comes with two equippable cosmetic items that can be added on top of any Archelon skin:
1. A pink algae overlay with barnacles.
2. A coral growth mesh item for Archelon's shell.

Both cosmetics (plus the event skin) can be equipped at the same time.
The pink algae overlay cannot be used simultaneously with other texture overlays such as the Archelon Supporter Warpaint Overlay. The coral growth, however, can be used simultaneously with overlay-type cosmetics.

[h2]Changes to Event Rewards Unlocking[/h2]
In order to unlock the Archelon skin and its associated equippables, players must grow to 2.0 on a Life Cycle server.
This skin will unlock on a per-server basis unless the skin is earned on an Official server. This means players have the option of earning the skin on a server of their choice, or earning the skin game-wide if unlocked on any Official Life Cycle server. This is to ensure game-wide unlocking is earned on a consistent difficulty and to improve the security of player rewards data.

You will also be able to earn last year’s Spring Event skin: Spring Guardian Apatosaurus!
This skin requires unlocking by growing an Apatosaurus to 2.0 Growth on Life Cycle
