Hawked Contracts Update

CONTRACTS

Contracts are a special type of Quest issued by Nellie on the Riftwake. Available in 3-day and 7-day varieties, accepting them adds extra goals to Renegades' matches on X-Isle, including gameplay challenges, specific requests, and criteria to fulfill. Contracts feature several Tasks to tackle, with dynamic sets of requirements and rewards available at random. Depending on how your chips fall, you might get an easier run or face more adversity. You'll receive rewards for every Task completed. Here's an example of a PvP-focused Contract with a list of possible Tasks and rewards (in-game Contracts, Tasks, and rewards may differ):

Example Contract

Bodhi's Way: Eliminate 30 Renegades (Rewards: 400 Hawks, 300 Loyalty, 10 League Points)
Hop N' Drop: Eliminate 6 Renegades without being eliminated (Rewards: 900 Hawks, 500 Loyalty, 20 League Points)
On the Fly: Eliminate 5 Renegades while in the air (Rewards: 1,300 Hawks, 800 Loyalty, 30 League Points)
No Escape: Eliminate 7 Renegades while they're hoverboarding (Rewards: 1,800 Hawks, 1,000 Loyalty, 40 League Points)
Rival Wrecker: Eliminate 4 Renegades in a single match (Rewards: 2,200 Hawks, 1,300 Loyalty, 50 League Points)

Contracts might feature Tasks focused on extracting Artifacts or Trinkets, looting the Treasury, Chests, or Caravans, dealing damage with specific weapons, battling Disciples, and lots more. Check in with Nellie often to find out what the latest Contracts are!

SHOWDOWNS

Contracts are available during Showdown periods. Showdowns occur several times per Issue and last for two weeks (with a one-week break between them). Throughout a Showdown, Renegades will have access to a variety of different Contracts—they're regularly refreshed, so keep a weather eye out for more challenges!

GRAIL Tip: Completed all Contracts? Unlikely! The final Contract is repeatable, so keep at it until the Showdown ends.

CONQUER THE LEAGUE

Wanna see your name in lights? In addition to regular rewards, completed Contracts also yield League Points. Accumulate League Points to rank up and progress ever higher in the League, a ranked leaderboard system for Renegades. League Rewards are issued at the end of each Showdown, depending on your League placement. Remember, every Showdown is a race to the top—so don't let yourself be overtaken! To keep things fair and competitive, League Points will be reset at the start of each Showdown. If you didn't manage to nab that League Reward reward you had your eye on, you'll have another shot in the next Showdown (League Rewards are the same for all Showdowns within a single Issue). Keep pushing every Showdown for bigger and better League placements!
