EVE Vanguard – March 2024 Update

As with all previous First Strike playtests, players can compete to gain rewards. By completing contracts and successfully extracting, Vanguard mercenaries will be placed on a leaderboard that will handsomely reward the top 10 players with up to 3000 PLEX.

  • Mining Laser Prototype: Seize valuable mineral resources with the mining laser. Carefully survey the environment to identify surface deposits and extract ore from nodes, which is essential for accomplishing contract objectives.
  • Mining and Salvage Contracts: Directly contribute to Suppression or Corruption efforts on the front lines of New Eden. Each completed contract feeds into the ongoing interstellar conflict, including skirmishes over territory in the warzones, the ongoing pirate insurgency, and overarching territorial alignment, intertwining EVE Vanguard gameplay with the persistent world of EVE Online.
  • New Warclone Suit: Equip a sleek suit with a slimmer profile, designed with dexterity in mind. The new suit's unique appearance enables Vanguard mercenaries to visually distinguish fellow players from hostile NPCs on the battlefield for enhanced tactical awareness.
