Overview

  • Shared Watch runs Feb. 10–24 and withholds event Merits from PvP, rewarding only destroying, assisting, or damaging Arc enemies.
  • The event features a 21-step track requiring 1,050 Merits, converting 100 ARC XP to 1 Merit, with rewards including the Slugger outfit, Raider Tokens, blueprints, and a Scrappy batting helmet.
  • Cold Snap returns to outdoor maps with frostbite risk, higher loot values, and the reappearance of Candleberries and throwable snowballs.
  • Patch 1.15.0 also tweaks balance and fixes bugs, notably changing the Trailblazer grenade to stop damage through walls and shifting its damage toward smaller foes; new Vulpine and Slugger cosmetics are included.
  • Embark positions Shared Watch as the first in a series of Expeditions, with registration for the next opening Feb. 25 and a March 1 start that offers permanent unlocks and stacking bonuses for repeat participation.
