Timetable change
With the arrival of our new PVE-focused GMs, and based on feedback within the community, we’ll be moving our Friday PVE to Sunday. This allows us to focus more manpower on PVE whilst consolidating the days we play.
Our new timetable is:
- Tuesday – Training Day (PVE)
- Wednesday – Fight Night (PVP)
- Saturday – EU and US timed PVP events
- Sunday – EU and US timed PVE events
This week’s events
Please see this week’s events below. Again, Tyy and Swat will be conducting Wednesday night PVP if you want to jump into custom servers to tear each other up. Also, Farmer and DG will be hosting Training Day for anyone who wants to explore Lamang and practice with no gear fear (information will be posted in the events news channel for both events).
Raid (PVP)
A faction is declared the defenders, with the other two factions the attackers. The defenders must hold a designated location for the duration of the event, if it is captured then the attackers must hold onto the location. Whoever holds the objective location at the end of the event is the winners.

Hostage Rescue After Hours (PVP)
In an attempt to hinder their rivals, the factions have started taking hostages from one another. This cannot go unpunished, you are instructed to locate your colleagues and rescue them from the enemy. However, you must also try to hold onto the hostage you’ve taken to ensure you have something to bargain with when the smoke clears. You need to assault the enemy position whilst also holding your own safe house, do not engage any hostages or the mission will fail.

Capture the Base – Phase 1 (PVE)
In a rare moment of collaboration, the three PMC factions have decided to work together to stress test their defences in the event the local militia or LAF decide to attack. To do this, the factions will be assaulting each other’s base camps but not directly fighting one another. This is about testing the base defences and not killing other PMCs. Each faction will attack the next faction in a clockwise direction, so CSI will attack LRI, LRI will attack MSS and MSS will attack CSI. Contractors don’t need to defend their base, only attack the enemy listed previously. This is happening on Joint Ops to make it purely a PVE test.
