Wonder Rush: Mine Wonderium until April 28!
GRAIL’s surveillance has found veins across X-Isle practically teeming with Wonderium. Better yet? There’s not a single Disciple in sight! Mine all the Wonderium you can carry in Wonder Rush, a new limited-time PVP Duo Mode available from now until April 28. Rush in and get your share of the haul! Read on to find out more about Twitch Drops, a new Disciple threat, three newly-unearthed Artifacts, and this week’s Shop Spotlight.
Limited Time Mode: Wonder Rush (April 18–28)
Availability: Daily from 19:00 CEST / 10:00 PDT until 02:00 CEST / 17:00 PDT
Leave no vein untapped in a rush to mine Nuggets and Motherlodes of Wonderium. Trust your Traverser to ping nearby veins, and bash away to extract X-Isle’s precious minerals and collect points ‘til your bags are full. Keep your Duo partner close, but your loot even closer. Other teams are out for the spoils, and it’s just as fair to take what’s mined. You’ll lose all the Wonderium you’re carrying if knocked down, but the same goes for your opponents. With unlimited respawns at random points in effect across the island, and stashes containing only rare weaponry, the risk looks tempting!
The first team to 500 Wonderium will trigger the end-of-match countdown, and whoever nabs the top spot by the end of the match will be crowned the victors. Chat with GE-0 back at the Riftwake to see what deals he’s got for your hard-earned spoils. You’ll also find costs of Gear and Artifact upgrades have eased up a little!

Tune into Drop-enabled streams on Twitch while Wonder Rush is active to earn the Tribal Backpack and piranha-pursued Outrigger Hoverboard! There are more than 10 Twitch Drops to earn until April 28, so get your account linked up and get that view time in.
Disciples Strike Back
A never-before-seen tribe of Fire Disciples has emerged from the magmatic underbelly of X-Isle, joining the fray with fire-touched fury against whoever dares challenge the reptilian reign of their horde!
Found in Treasure Hunt and Lone Hunter modes, have they emerged to fight GRAIL? Or have rumblings of a new threat put the Disciples on edge? They’re probably just upset they’re losing out on all that Wonderium.
New Artifacts for Your Loadout
GRAIL has reported the discovery of new Artifacts on X-Isle. Good luck finding these beauties out there—their abilities can give Renegades quite the edge!
Combusti-Core (Hunt) - Somewhat reminiscent of the modern hand grenade, this partially broken Artifact is filled with an exotic concoction that greatly amplifies nearby explosions. The item’s exact mode of explosive combustion still causes heated debate among GRAIL scientists. Be very careful when handling this volatile Artifact, Renegade.
- Location: Treasury & Caravan
Shellblazer (Survival) - A testament to the close connection between the islanders and the oceans nearby. As an effigy, the relationship between the turtle’s shell and the object’s shield-powering properties is obvious. The additional “cuteness” makes the Artifact transcend from simple ornament to a must-have collector’s item.
- Location: Treasury & Caravan
Fallback Frog (Utility) - This particular relic is lovingly modeled after an indigenous animal, likely in an effort to harness the creature’s innate “being” in magical form. In this Artifact’s particularly charming case, the frog’s dexterous ability is playfully channeled through the leap-and-tumble action.
- Location: Treasury & Caravan
