Each week we’ll roll out new rewards for the Featured Episode “Mirrors and Smoke”. Last week’s reward was the Kentari Fortified Personal Shield. The final reward is the Kentari Partisan Residuum Thrower. In addition, the first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.



When the Kentari see a potential way to cut corners for profit, they don't shy away from it. This lead to the creation of a weapon that fires literal plasma residuum at the target. The caustic nature of this by-product can leave considerable plasma burns. However the Kentari didn't stop there, they went on to mix an undisclosed chemical reactant into one section of the residuum output and a chemical catalyst to the other section. When these chemicals are mixed the output tends to be explosively volatile for the target.

The Kentari Partisan Residuum Thrower counts towards the Excessive Development set. Collect and equip pieces from this set to unlock powerful set bonuses:

Excessive Development

Defensive Countermeasures (2 piece)

This 2 piece bonus provides:

Kentari Armor and Shield gain: 12.5% chance: +Temporary Hit Points for 60 seconds when you take damage.

+20% Plasma Damage

Residuum Reactant Deployment (3 piece)

This 3 piece bonus provides:

Call in a bombardment of Plasma Residuum reactant. The target area is applied with a healthy coating of residuum reactant stacks. Once applied you can then trigger this power again to deploy a catalyst within the hazardous area to deal additional damage based on the amount of residuum reactant stacks.

All unlocked rewards will remain as selected options on “Mirrors and Smoke” once it is added to the normal Episode list. The Featured Episode Weekly Reward box will not be acquirable by running “Mirrors and Smoke” once this week is over.
