Overview
- The update releases on February 24, with outlets expecting an early‑morning PT/ET rollout based on prior patches, though Embark has not given an exact time.
- A permanent Hurricane map condition rotates across Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport and Dam Battlegrounds, reducing visibility, muffling sound, slowing movement, draining shields and altering projectile behavior.
- Two new Arc threats debut: Firefly, a flying flamethrower drone, and Comet, a patrolling sphere that locks on and detonates with a powerful blast.
- The second Expedition runs February 25–March 1 and adds permanent rewards, including 5 skill points with a catch‑up to 10 total, up to 24 extra stash slots and a lowered 3 million‑coin stash threshold, plus new outfit unlocks.
- Seasonal additions include the Weather Monitoring System project running through March 31, a free Surgeon Raider Deck with cosmetics and facial hair options, and a Dam Battlegrounds expansion featuring the high‑value Controlled Access Zone.
