Revision as of 17:19, 9 April 2022

The Hunt is an in-game Easter event that runs from April 7th to April 19th. It is similar with last year, it keeps the egg hunt, the site NPCs, and the pod implant drops. However as of April 7 the pods drop expired keys.

Note that activating the gate will consume a key regardless whether you manage to jump or not. The gate can be activated multiple times consuming multiple keys and the gate does not stay unlocked.

Combat sites

Guristas Hunt Outpost

This is the combat site that appears throughout new eden with the event.

It is pretty similar with last year's event, but with a new boss.

The site appears as a combat anomaly in the probe scanner window. Once warp to the site is initiated the site will also appear as a beacon in the overview, revealing to everyone that someone has warped to it.

Only T1, T2, and faction frigates and destroyers can enter the site.

The site consists of two deadspace pockets, both behind acceleration gates.

The first room has five waves of frigates, destroyers and occasional cruisers. Once all waves are dead, the acceleration gate to last room becomes active. Sometimes the acceleration gate becomes active before the last wave.

Accessing the final room requires a Hunt Acceleration Gate Key. The gate does not stay open for other people for 10 seconds after activation like other locked gates do. So everyone who wants to enter the final room needs their own key.

The final room has a single Hunt Jackdaw. This NPC and the other boss in room 1 drops the valuable loot.

The site can be completed in a destroyer tanked against kinetic/thermal damage.

But take care, Most frigates warp disrupt/scramble, web and neut, as well as the Automated Drone and the Jackdaw. In the first room, there are NPCs that deal damage aside from kinetic and thermal. Hunt Griffin deals Explosive damage and ECM, Hunt Kestrel deals EM damages, Hunt Blackbird deals massive explosive damage and ECM, Hunt Caracal deals massive EM damage. The 'Hunt' rats have rather poor loot tables so don't bother looting.

The rats are weakest against EM and thermal damage. Kinetic damage is almost as good but explosive damage is not very good against them.
