Submit Feedback or Error

Introduction

Explorers! The weekly events have been announced and once again we've got your coverage. This week's theme is Lockdown as the featured creatures, and Hybrid Legacy as the strike theme. These 2 themes are very exciting! We'll break down what to dart and what to expect from the strike events. So let's get to it!

 

weekly events 08.26 - 09.01

Featured Creatures - Common

Monday - Wednesday: Commons (18 attempts)

Dimorphodon

Lythronax

Purussaurus Gen2

Sarcosuchus

What to Dart

There are 2 repeats from last week's wound event. Dimorphodon is a global dawn/dusk spawn, Sarcosuchus can be found in parks. Lythronax and Purussaurus Gen2 are also park spawns. All 4 dinos are components of hybrids but Purussaurus Gen2 and Lythronax both make up Purrolyth, which goes in to Grypolyth. Since Sarcosuchus was featured last week, these 2 are both worthy of darting this week.  

Featured Creatures - Rare

Wednesday - Friday: Rares (18 attempts)

Megalosaurus

Purussaurus

Scaphognathus

What to Dart

Megalosaurus can be found in local 3. Scaphognathus is a repeat from last week and can be found in local 4 at Night and Dawn/Dusk. Purussaurus is arena exclusive and can't be found in the wild. It's always smart to dart the dino you can't actually hunt so Purussaurus is going to be the smartest option in the middle of the week. 

Featured Creatures - Epic

Saturday - Sunday: Epics (9 attempts)

Darwinopterus

Gryposuchus

Diplodocus

What to Dart

Darwin is another repeat of last week. You can usually find it as the daily epic spawn on Saturdays. Gryposuchus is found in Local 4. It is the other half of Grypolyth so if you are working on this hybrid, this could be an option for you. Diplodocus is an exclusive dino that can only be found in the weekly featured events so this is the best one to go for. It is a component of the newly Tyrant Unique - Geminititan. 

Strike Events

We are very excited about the strike event theme this week. Hybrid Legacy! while the common and rare dinos aren't what everyone needs, all 3 epic options are usually needed for an end game team. This is what you can expect from the strike events: 

Common: Apatasaurus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor

Rare: Amargasaurus, Nodosaurus, Utahraptor

Epic: Ankylosaurus, Sinoceratops, Tyrannosaurus Rex

There are only 2 epic strikes this week. There is a Ankylosaurus themed one on Friday, and a 5 step Hybrid Legacy themed strike over the weekend. We will keep you up to date with strike guides as those come out and we know the adversaries you will be facing! 

Treasure Chase, Themed Scent & Boost Strike

This is probably the last week we will see the red treasure chests. They will spawn every 15 min so collect as many as you can while they are out! There is a themed scent strike on Tuesday that we believe is a Pterasaur scent, and it looks like there is an Health Boost Strike.  We are also expecting another themed scent in the store and we will update you as soon as that is live. All in all, it looks like a lot to look forward to this week.

In Conclusion

We are excited about both of the themes this week. Especially since the lockdown week features some exclusive dinos (like Diplodocus!) that are otherwise hard to come by. This is also the last week we will see Diplodocus as the daily mission reward. We are still hoping for some teasers soon for the 1.9 update so keep your eyes peeled! We will make sure to keep you updated on any other events or changes that we see and make sure to join our discussion on our discord!
