Update: The First stage is over, and your collected Bonds have been multiplied by 30 . The Bonds vault is now open, here's your chance to get your slice of the cake!

Gentlemen, start your engines: the chase is about to begin. As the game is steadily approaching Update 9.22, a new event, The Grand Hunt, is ready to kickoff, granting an opportunity for every tanker to earn a ton of Bonds. Given that 9.22 will mainly be a content update, this is a great chance to fine-tune both newly explored and good-ol’ machines with Directives.

With simple combat missions, the event will become an extra way to earn a rare currency and be fully armed for 9.22. Here’s how the event will work.

Stage I: Generating the prize pool

The first stage of The Grand Hunt starts on 19 January and will last three days. This is where tankers should be particularly active, as it's going to be a decisive period to define how many Bonds you’ll be able to put in your wallet.

By the end Stage I, we'll total all the earned Bonds and increase this number significantly. This very number will form a total prize pool, which every player will eventually fight for. We want to keep full transparency on the progress during this stage, so we’ll put a special counter on the home page that will refresh every hour. This will help you easily trace everyone’s combined efforts.
