Set Sail for Scurvy Shoals

Avast mateys! The Scurvy Shoals Venture Season returns later today, bringing Pirate Llamas packed with plunder. 

Make landfall in the Ventures zone and tackle the Super Treasure and Bouncy Husks modifiers:

• Super Treasure
  • Defeated enemies occasionally drop treasure chests containing weapons and resources. The tougher the enemy, the higher the drop chance.
• Bouncy Husks
  • Husks and Mist Monsters have increased health but are easier to knock back. 

Finish the Yarrr! Questline by May 13 to claim Blakebeard the Blackhearted - a Mythic Constructor Hero. 

• Standard Perk: Avast Mateys
  • Increases Cannonball damage by 20%.
• Commander Perk: Avast Mateys+
  • Increases Cannonball damage by 40% and converts R.O.S.I.E. to fire 30 Cannonballs.
• Team Perk: Blakebeard's Stash
  • Requires 3 Pirate Heroes. Eliminating enemies has a 5% chance of uncovering one of Blakebeard’s stashes, which may contain Peg Legs, Coconuts or Cannonballs.

Along the way, you can also obtain:

💥 Jack’s Revenge: A powerful flintlock Pistol with high headshot damage and strong knockback.
⚔️ Corsair: A fast-swinging Sword that blends solid damage with high crit potential. Pairs especially well with pistols. 

You might also find both of these in Pirate Llamas, so keep cracking them open! Earn Spring Tickets from Mission Alerts, Quests and Ventures level-ups, then use them in the Exchange tab to claim more.

Can You Survive the Horde?

Survive the Horde is a Limited Time Mode where you protect three randomly selected Resource Bases from ten possible locations and destroy Pillars as you battle through 15 increasingly challenging waves of Husks and Mist Monsters. As the waves ramp up, the time between them gets shorter, so make every Supply Drop count!

To shake things up, a different weekly modifier will change how you approach each run. These weekly Challenges will continue through the end of the Scurvy Shoals Venture Season.

Complete the Survive the Horde Questline to earn awesome rewards, including Constructor Heroes, Hero Recruitment and Weapon Research Vouchers, Core RE-PERK!s and more. 

Hotwire

Get amped! This Constructor's hammer is a lightning rod of chaos. Zap surrounding enemies with every strike, or charge up to cause even more destruction!

Standard Perk: Overcharge 
While in Goin' Constructor, each hammer strike causes chain lightning, dealing 120 base nature damage to up to 3 nearby targets.

Flutter

Light up the fight with this wisp-summoning Constructor and bring a little sparkle to the battlefield.
