EVE Vanguard First Strike May is Here

Vanguard, 

The monthly trial deployment of warclones is here once more and it is open to all Omega Founders until 12:00 UTC on 27 May. 

HOW TO BECOME A FOUNDER 

To get access to EVE Vanguard, and make your mark on the ongoing development of the game you need to become a Founder, which only requires active Omega status. For those who haven't already, this is the perfect time to upgrade, as both the EVE Store and the New Eden Store are offering a bundle including 14 days of Omega access and the Naglfar Fleet Issue Arkombine Arisen SKIN for a limited time, giving anyone interested in jumping into EVE Vanguard an unmissable opportunity. 

RISE ABOVE, CRUSH THOSE BELOW 

As Vanguard, you will have an impact on the ongoing war in New Eden and will be rewarded for your contributions. As in previous First Strike events, there are exciting challenges to face and impressive rewards on the line.  

Warclones will receive the Burst Arkombine Arisen SKIN for acquiring 10 clones (exchanging biomass for additional clones at recloning stations). This challenge can be achieved by individuals or squad members, but as all clones acquired in a squad counts toward the progress of all members, it will be significantly easier to achieve with others. 

You will receive the Scythe Fleet Issue Arkombine Arisen SKIN for harvesting 750 units of inert alloy and 250 units of reactive alloy.  

Reaching the top 10 of the “Contracts Completed” leaderboard will reward you with a wealth of PLEX. Over five friendly fire kills during the playtest will disqualify the player from these rewards. 

Finishing the challenge of acquiring 10 clones will contribute to the reward track that has been ongoing since the December event, with those who finish four out of the six challenges receiving the sleek new EDENCOM gun SKIN, as these new cosmetic updates make their first appearance in the next major update to EVE Vanguard, coming in June. 

SEE YOU IN THE COMBAT ZONE 

Suit up, Vanguard. It’s time to jump back into the fray, reap excellent rewards, and be an essential contributor to the ongoing development of EVE Vanguard, the ultimate FPS experience in the EVE Universe. Your participation and feedback are more critical than ever. 

Make sure you tune in to CCPTV for the Live2Feet stream from 14:00-16:00 tomorrow, Friday 24 May, for an exciting Vanguard stream. Join us on Discord to get tips and tricks, provide feedback, and connect with the Vanguard Founders community and devs.
