Queen's Wrath

The Queen's Wrath limited-time event is running now through October 6 (two weeks only).  Here's what you need to know:

  • There are six purple bounties available per day from the Bounty Tracker - 4 are PVE, 2 are PVP
  • Finishing a purple bounty unlocks a lvl24 story mission with the Epic modifier (no auto-respawn, must be revived by teammates) and two random additional modifiers
    • This means you must be at LEAST lvl21 to even play the story missions, but recommended to be lvl24 or higher
    • We saw ammo restriction (less ammo drops) and solar damage modifiers - means solar weapons from both good and bad guys do 3X the damage as normal : 2,422 crit damage from solar sniper, or 1-shot deaths from Hobgoblins
  • Completing the story mission results in a guaranteed Legendary purple armor piece - either a helmet or a chest piece
    • It's random if you get helmet or chest armor
    • You can do all six bounties each day to get six armor pieces
    • There's only one specific helmet and one specific chest you can get, so you can dismantle the duplicates for mats (materials)
  • Completing the bounties and missions gains you rep with the Queen's faction, you need to level up rep to get to the items, weapons and armor that the Queen's emissary will sell to you
It took us about 2 hours to knock out 3 bounties and missions - so it's probably 4-5 hours to do them all.  Plan accordingly.
  • It's a minimum of 2 days to reach level 1 rep if you do all 6 purple bounties - At our pace, it will take 4 days at 3 bounties a day
  • Min 5 days to reach level 2 rep for Queen's weapons and armor - 10 days at our pace
  • Min 10 days to reach level 3 rep for exclusive shader and emblem - Unreachable at our pace
