Everwinter Event

Nature can be a loving and caring "mother" that provides to its "children" everything they need to live in a peaceful and happy world, or it can be a devastating crashing power that it's the source of eternal suffering of mankind. During Frostbite Event, the Ice Age came back and put the Survivors in a terrible situation; desolated frozen lands everywhere, filled with Frost Infected all around. The only hope was the Magmatite, a source of energy able to warm people inside the Settlements, but will mankind be able to survive this cold wave only with that? Could anything have been done before to prevent the thousands of thousands of deaths around the world? Discover it with us and disclose the truth behind the tremendous greed that guides mankind. Welcome to the 7th World Event! Welcome to Everwinter and if you feel the cold grip your heart, just warm yourself by singing "Let It Go!", Elsa would be proud of you.

Similar to the Frostbite Event, Chiefs will be required to gather Biodiesel every week in order to meet the weekly goal. If you are able to complete the goals, each week for 6 weeks you will receive 5x Glacial Glory Points, in the first week of the last stage you will receive 10x Glacial Glory Points and in the last week 5x Glacial Glory Points as well as a special item. The Biodiesel and Glacial Glory Points earned throughout the event can be spent in the Shipwright Store. This event will take place over the course of 10 weeks and will be divided into 3 stages.

1. Stage 1: Never-Ending Winter
2. Stage 2: Searching Icy Lands
3. Stage 3: End of Winter

As you accomplish the weekly objectives during the event, you will be able to acquire materials to upgrade your Radar Station. Materials can be obtained during the weekly tasks.

## STAGE 1: Never-Ending Winter

Stage duration: 2022/09/26-2022/10/09

*Note: Date can change based on the release of the event in your state.*

### Week 1 - Icy Winds

**[*The cold wave was far from over, with warmth merely a distant notion. Hunger and harsh temperatures remain the most critical issues affecting survival.*]**

The heroes managed to lead everyone and take over the area full of Magmatite seized by the Raiderz. This ensured that each Settlement would get their hands on the Magmatite and fuel. However, there were still no signs of the cold wave receding. With the Frost Infected still rampaging, coupled with the fact that the Magmatite would eventually be depleted, everyone remained cautious about the hidden dangers that lay ahead.

The sudden movement of the Frost infected caused the heroes who had just obtained a momentary respite to be on edge once again. They had to be wary of these foul monsters.

The Frost Infected who had gathered at the snowfield gradually encroached on the Settlement, almost as if something was attracting them. This fight out in the icy winds is far from over.

### Week 2 - Fight to the Death

**[*The large gathering of Frost Infected aroused fear and panic among the people. They targeted and snuffed out any source of heat, which exacerbated the horrendous cold wave.*]**

Facing wave after wave of attack by the gathered Frost Infected, Sarge and the other heroes fiercely defended their Settlement, which had become their last and only home. No one knew the reason behind the attack, nor could anyone stop them coming towards the Settlement. The heroes had no choice but to fight for their lives.

Eventually, all the Frost Infected attacking the Settlement were eliminated. However, they had also destroyed most of the stored Magmatite.

The crumbled Magmatite was scattered on the ground like burnt out stars that had lost all warmth. Many of the civilians had lost all hope of surviving this cold wave. Was everyone resigned to freezing to death in the snow?

## STAGE 2: Searching Icy Lands

Stage duration: 2022/10/10-2022/11/06

*Note: Date can change based on the release of the event in your state.*

### Week 1 - Rising Fury

**[*GigaCorp's research tracked the behavior of Frost Infected attacking heat sources, a timely discovery which helped the heroes gain an advantage against them in battle.*]**

The attacks from the Frost Infected remain the greatest threat to human survival. They destroyed the Magmatite, which caused the cold to invade the Settlement once again. GigaCorp suddenly broadcasted their last research: These Infected instinctively try to destroy heat sources to maintain low environmental temperatures. This means thermal weapons would be highly effective against them. Even though the heroes didn't fully believe GigaCorp, they still thought it was worth a try.

The Frost Infected were without a shadow of a doubt attracted to the heat source. The massive fire lit by Sarge and the gang in the field of ice lured all the surrounding Frost Infected over. They rushed straight into the fire in an attempt to extinguish it. It was at that moment that Sarge set off the explosives and blew most of them to pieces.

Although it consumed a lot of fuel, it successfully managed to eliminate the threat of the Frost Infected, at least for the time being.

### Week 2 - Desperate Plea

**[*A member of the Raiderz desperately braved the rampaging Frost Infected outside to deliver a letter imploring the heroes of the Final Hope to help them tide through a difficult situation.*]**

Sarge's group finally had some space to breath after repelling the Frost Infected. They had to grasp the opportunity to replenish supplies for the Settlement. They also had to search for more fuel and explosives to prepare for the coming cold wave.

But all of a sudden, a member of the Raiderz had appeared outside the Settlement door beckoning for help.

An unexpected request came from the Raiderz, asking the Final Hope to eradicate the Frost Infected alongside them. The long-standing conflict between the two parties filled Sarge with concern.

However, following advice from Rusty and Becca, the compassionate heroes still decided to lend a helping hand to them given they were in danger. Who knows what kind of dangers they would be up against.

### Week 3 - Mysterious Girl

**[*The squad followed the signal and arrived at a fleet of abandoned ships. There, they found a little girl on the ice who appeared to be lost. She begged them to help her find her missing mother.*]**

The treachery of the Raiderz was something that everyone had long known about. No one knew whether survivors or danger waited behind this distress signal. However, Sarge still gathered an elite squad and set off immediately.

He didn't only do it because of the old friendship between Rusty and the Raiderz. It was also because the guiding spirit of the Final Hope was to try and rescue those who were in danger. This spirit has never wavered despite the living hell the cold had created.

The fleet of abandoned ships looked like a graveyard of whales. Looking at the little girl standing alone on top of the ice surrounded by traces of GigaCorp and the Raiderz, it didn't look like a trap prepared for the Final Hope. However, it was an unusual situation. Perhaps the truth could only be uncovered by exploring the place.

### Week 4 - Bloodbath Aboard the Ship

**[*After exploring for some time, the group located the ship where the distress signal was coming from. On the ship, they saw numerous bodies which were those of the Raiderz.*]**

Everyone split up and soon found the abandoned ship that the distress signal was sent from. As soon as everyone entered the eerie cabin, they could smell the stench of decay and blood lingering in the air. The passageway was littered with the corpses of Raiderz and there were obvious signs of a terrible struggle that had taken place.

To get what they wanted, the Raiderz were usually unscrupulous about their missions. A scenario like this in which they fought GigaCorp head-on was not their modus operandi.

The only reason this bunch of wild scavengers would resort to such a bloody battle was if the object hidden within was of great importance to them.

## STAGE 3: End of Winter

Stage duration: 2022/11/07-2022/11/20

*Note: Date can change based on the release of the event in your state.*

### Week 1 - Dispersed Suspicions

**[*While exploring the ship, the group was attacked by the crew that had turned into Infected. After fighting them off, Sarge discovered a sailor's dairy within the cabin.*]**

While searching through the cobweb-filled corridors, Rusty was suddenly attacked. There were no other living beings found on the ship other than the exploration team. All of the ship's crew had already turned into Infected. They charged towards the group and attacked them ferociously as if they were trying to safeguard some treasure.

Even though there were multitudes of Infected, they kept getting stuck in narrow spaces and soon became suppressed by Rusty and Sarge. Becca grasped the opportunity and flipped through the diary. Will she be able to find the answers they need inside its pages?

### Week 2 - A Glimpse of the Truth

**[*The group discovered the answers they were searching for hidden in the diary. Everything that had happened was linked to GigaCorp. Even the appearance of the Frost Infected was connected to them.*]**

Just like curtains in the theater being drawn back, everything became clear as Becca flipped through the diary. Even before the cold wave hit, GigaCorp had detected unusual changes in global weather patters. They even found a new energy source that could help people tide through the cold weather. However, in order to create a monopoly and maximize profits, they sent ships out to transport the energy source back in large quantities without warning anybody.

GigaCorp's monopoly of the new energy source not only killed a large number of citizens during the cold wave, their negligence also created a bunch of monsters who would attempt to extinguish all heat sources. Perhaps the Raiderz came here because they learned about the new energy source.

However, now isn't the time to be outraged about GigaCorp's crimes. Even if they already knew about the source of the disaster and the truth, what could they do about it anyway?
