Piñata Hunt
Update 13.2 brings the Piñata Hunt event! You'll be able to hunt a special Piñata ship during the event to gain an advantage over your opponents. Available as a separate battle type, this year’s event features the specially decorated Colorful Islands map.
Details
- Battles with Tier VIII–IX ships of all types; 7 players per team.
- When the Piñata is taken down, a shrinking control point will spawn on the spot where it sinks.
The Piñata Hunt also introduces a new mechanic—support consumables. There are eight unique support consumables in total, with each ship type having access to five of them. One consumable for each ship type will be unlocked at the start, while up to four others can be attained by completing missions or by purchasing them with Credits in the Armory. You'll be able to select only one support consumable per battle.
During the Piñata Hunt event, you can obtain Piñata Tokens by completing combat missions. You can exchange these Tokens for rewards in the Armory.
