- A brief history lesson of Dreadlands - 12 April 2022
Glow Glow is a fickle friend, and it’s near impossible to predict where the next rich yield will appear, but as soon as you get wind of a good bloom, move in fast, and be prepared to fight for your claim. The Glow that is harvested is still in its raw form. Raw Glow is toxic and only a fraction of its potential can be drawn from it. To unlock the true power of Glow, the material needs to be refined, and here’s where the Refiner Corps comes in. There are only three organizations in the Dreadlands possessing the technology to refine Glow. These are the Refiner Corps, and it’s they who buy the Raw Glow from the Glow-digging Gangs. The Refiner Corps, in turn, export Refined Glow to near and far. Near, in this case, would be Skyspire, a towering, walled-off metropolis, bordering the Dreadlands to the northwest. Its cityscape of tall and mighty spires and their inhabitants have had, and still…
- A brief history lesson of Dreadlands - 5 April 2022
The Downfall, Untergang or Thirty Seconds’ War… Today we thought we shed some light on what actually happened to the world that was. So let’s dive into the post-apocalypse, or rather, the actual apocalypse. For the people of the Dreadlands, it’s known as the Downfall, or the Untergang, depending on culture and personal preference Dreadlands is a region known as a unique and wondrously weird place. Quite impressive, considering this world is no stranger to strangeness, still suffering from the drastic effects of the Downfall. Yes, that’s our big ol’ civilization finisher, an Intersolar, free for all, massive shootout. Everyone was lobbing asteroids, nukes, hyper-kinetics, and exotic, experimental weapons, at everyone. There was no drawn-out affair. On the contrary, it was aptly named the Thirty Seconds’ War at the time. Satellites came crashing down, the world opened up and somehow the w…

- New Scavengers mission! - 1 July 2021
Oi! Dreadlanders! We've got another big patch for you, so strap in! Before we get started - we’d love to hear what you think about it in the comments or over in our Discord! The PVE version of the Scavengers mission has been re-designed with a focus on resource gathering (instead of defeating enemies). Why the re-design?: Because we listened to your advice! Thank you for all of your feedback. We have an amazing community and you told us that you wanted to gather resources quicker to bolster your ranks and finish upgrading your hideout. So now you can! By doing these new scavengers missions in between the campaign missions, gangs will now have an easier time getting the resources they need. Things changed. The original Scavengers mission design is more PvP oriented, and the new version aligns more effectively with the Dreadlands PvE environment. Note: The original PvP Scavengers missions…

You can look forward to a new update every month - all for you! The first update is a challenge system rework. We’ve heard your feedback and have been working on improvements to make it more impactful. Here’s what we did: Added a new challenge splash view which shows the challenges more clearly at the start of each mission. Added 11 new challenges and removed some old ones that players didn't feel made any sense. Added a special XP doubling reward that has a chance to be applied to a random challenge. Complete that specific challenge to double the xp you get from all challenges! Reduced the number of active challenges to 3 for each mission. This makes things much clearer and easier to keep track of in the mission. Our focus for future updates will be…
