FEATURES

Paradise Solstice Celebration
The Paradise Solstice Celebration is here! Candy canes, snowmen, presents, and festive trees dot the New Frontier. However, the Volge have decided to dampen these celebrations with their deadly Solstice Strikes. Foil their attacks and pick up a special gift from Ara Shondu at her consulate. She’ll give you Radiant Solstice weapons which will devastate your enemies with their Saturnalia synergy. Also, keep an eye out for the strange new contracts from Tarr Traxx. It seems there are some reindeer in the bay. Weird.

If you are in a hurry to spread the holiday cheer, you can pick up a Radiant Solstice Supply Crate for a weapon and smattering of Saturnalia-infused mods. Also, each crate has a chance to drop three strange pieces of headgear: Antlers, the Santa Cap, and CYBERCLAUS!

Happy Holidays!
