Pirate Beacons

• Pay a resource fee to activate a Pirate Beacon when renting any regular digs.
• Pirate Beacon activation will enable a random set of new difficulty modifiers, such as Bad Luck (Less bombs, less exits, no healbots) or Contaminated (New radiation hazards that can cause instant death)
• Discover all of the Pirate Beacon modifiers as you play!
• All Pirate Beacons will also increase enemy health and damage.
• Pirate Beacons will replace many enemies and elites with Pirates. These Pirates will drop MapFrags, a new off-chain currency used to access the Safehouse Scout game mode.
• On Deeper Depths, a difficult Pirate Miniboss is guaranteed to spawn that will drop a large number of MapFrags
• Some pirates will appear rarely in regular digs as well, so keep an eye out to collect MapFrags.

Safehouse Scout

• Spend MapFrags on the Pirate Invasion screen to purchase an attempt at Safehouse Scout, a brand new game mode.
• Climb a vertical asteroid field while escaping a rising Incineration Field that will cause instant death.
• Collect a new off-chain currency, Contraband, by killing Pirates and mining.
• Defeat one of 3 fire-empowered bosses at the top of the Safehouse to escape with your loot!

Boss Bounty

• Spend Contraband collected in the Safehouse Scout game mode to unlock access to the Boss Bounty game mode
• Travel through a short trap-filled gauntlet to find the Pirate Boss and defeat it.
• Defeating the boss will award players 2 pieces of loot, including a new Pirate and Elite Pirate equipment set and many new holos.
• Once access is unlocked, try as many times as needed to defeat the boss before weekly reset.
• Once the boss is completed, Boss Bounty will be unavailable until the next weekly reset.
