The Hub

The Pit is now available.
- The Pit is the home of the Beast. The beast that can only be summoned by Gladiators (who have registered their Proving Ground Coat of Arms).
- The beast has a chance to drop blueprints and crafting triggers to make two new Hub only weapons:
- Fenris Sniper Rifle, a long range, high damage, long reload weapon.
- Turrellajin's Stalker Blade, a knife that will give additional run speed when equipped.
- The beast also has a small chance to drop the weapons themselves.

Changes
Planet Cyrene

All Imperium Tokens and Zyn'Kimbro tokens will be merged into one token type for all activities on Planet Cyrene: Cyrene Mission Token.
- There will be no lost PED value in this conversion. If you had 1 PED worth of tokens in a stack size of 200, you will still have 1 PED worth of tokens but now the stack is only 100.
- All missions that awarded either Imperium or Zyn'Kimbro tokens has been re-balanced to give the correct amount of Cyrene Mission Tokens.
- No new items will be added to the token vendors during this VU as a precaution with the conversion and make sure that everything goes smoothly.

Loot Waves
- We've made substantial changes to how loot drops happen on Cyrene (in conjunction with MindArk) to try and alleviate loot dropping in waves. This will be an ongoing process that we will continually adjust as needed.

Teleporter Name Changes
- The following teleporter names have been changed:

A.R.C. Camp Gamma -> A.R.C. Training Area
Checkpoint -> Checkpoint Racetrack
Base Camp Epsilon -> A.R.C. Camp Epsilon
Base Camp Gamma -> A.R.C. Camp Xi
Base Camp Oak -> A.R.C. Camp Oak
n00b Base -> Puny Beach Training Base
Crater Base Alpha -> Impact Zone I
Crater Base Beta -> Impact Zone II
Crater Base Delta -> Impact Zone III
Crater Base Epsilon -> Impact Zone IV
Crater Base Gamma -> Impact Zone V
Crater Base RLRL -> Impact Zone VI
Crater Base Zeta -> Impact Zone VII

Many of the starter missions (the Rude Awakenings mission chain that starts in A.R.C. Head Quarters) have been streamlined.

Many of the bugged NPCs and warps that were missing/underground should now be fixed.

The following blueprint recipes have been altered to require only one Basic Targeting Chip:
A.R.C. Special Ops Arm Guards
A.R.C. Special Ops Boots
A.R.C. Special Ops Shin Guards
A.R.C. Special Ops Gloves
A.R.C. Special Ops Thigh Guards
A.R.C. Special Ops Helmet
A.R.C. Special Ops Harness

The Hub

The Reward Token (Lime Green) spawns in the Proving Grounds have been moved and adjusted to allow token spawns to behave normally.
