Ship:Raid for the Filth

Summary

Raid for the Filth was a special PvP Halloween game mode that released in 2019 as the event of the year, and has not been reintroduced since.

In Raid for the Filth, three teams consisting of three players were tasked to navigate the Realm of Darkness, and collect a valuable resource: filth. To do this, they needed to destroy enemy ships of the Twilight Fleet, and even other teams, to collect as much filth as possible. Towards the middle-late game, the portal at the center of the map would open, through which the players had to enter to escape the Realm of Darkness. Near the portal, many hostile ships would sail around, making it a dangerous mission to plunder and escape with the filth.

Storywise, the game mode is a crossover between the story presented in operations like Saving Transylvania, and the world presented during Rogue Wave. The chronology regarding the stories is unknown.

Story

Through many years, people of the Flooded City had been forced to participate and fight to the death in battle royales for survival. Suddenly, one day, a portal emerged in the middle of the arena. When the people sailed into the other world, they found themselves within the realm of darkness, and discovered a new, highly valuable resource: filth.

Now, the people from the Flooded City frequent the Realm of Darkness, taking on highly risky, yet highly rewarding plundering missions. While some captains are content with going in and collecting filth safely, rumors among the most daring captains have circulated about a monstrous ship lurking out there that is said to reward anyone with an unfathomable amount of resources, should they even be able to sink it.

Overview

• Three teams with three players play against each other, and against additional enemy ships controlled by AI. It’s possible to participate in the Raid for the Filth as part of a Division.
• Players will have three branches available: destroyers, cruisers, and battleships, with three ships in each branch. All the ships have their own special features and consumables. In depth details can be found in the Playable ships section.
• The main task is to collect the new resource—Filth—from special zones on the map and from the wreckage of sunk ships. Filth can be exchanged for rewards in the Armory.
• There are no winners or losers in the new mode: a battle’s success is defined by the amount of Filth collected by the entire team.
• Exit through the Portal at the center of the map when it opens to finish the battle. Bring a haul of Filth back to your world and add it to the team's spoils.
• If you perish or fail to escape through the Portal before the end of the battle, you'll score only a part of the Filth you collected for your team.

Gameplay

Rules

• Battles in the mode are only played on the unique event ships and on a special map.
• At the beginning of each battle, the Portal is always sealed. The time that passes before it opens is selected randomly and can be 3, 7, or 11 minutes.
• Participants begin each battle without any consumables. A random charge for any one of the consumables available for a ship can be earned upon destroying an enemy, and two charges can be obtained when an ally is lost.
• The forces of darkness will do everything in their power to prevent you from escaping their world: as the battle unfolds, the enemy's power will grow, but so will the amount of Filth you can collect from them. The longer you fight in battle, the higher the risk of encountering their dangerous overlord—Rasputin.
• Friendly damage and the risk of magazine detonation are disabled.

Collecting Filth

• To collect Filth, a ship has to enter a special zone on the map. Some of these zones are available from the very beginning of a battle, others will appear at spots where bot opponents and players carrying collected Filth were destroyed.
• The amount of Filth available in the zones which appear in battle gradually reduces over time.
• Cargo hold capacity and the speed of Filth collection depend on the type of your ship:
  • Destroyers: cargo hold—up to 500 Filth; collection speed—5 Filth per second.
  • Cruisers: cargo hold—up to 700 Filth; collection speed—10 Filth per second.
  • Battleships: cargo hold—up to 1,000 Filth; collection speed—30 Filth per second.
• If the player's ship successfully reaches the portal, all the resources collected will be added to their team's spoils. If the player perishes or fails to escape through the Portal before the end of the battle, they score only 20% of the Filth collected.
  • Each participant will receive an amount of Filth equal to the total amount of Filth that their team earned.
  • A player won't receive Filth for inactivity in battle.

Playable ships

During Raid for the Filth, players were given three ships for free from three different classes: Steel Lancet, Rust Nightfall and Maverick. Through playing the three starter ships, players could grind for six more additional ships based on class. As an example, through playing Rust Nightfall, players were be able to grind and acquire Octodroid first, and finally Fossil. Each new ship cost 30,000 XP and 1 credit to purchase.

The first ships given to players were more average in terms of play style, and carried consumables that are similar to the regular ships in the tech tree. With the second and third ship players could grind towards, the role of the ships branched into either a team support role (like with Angler, Octodroid and Scorpioid), or a pure combat and damage-dealing role (like with Mutantovsk, Fossil and Crocosaur). More details regarding the respective ships can be found within the dropdown menus below. The dropdown menus are sorted so the starter ship is listed on top, and the end of the branch is on the bottom.

Destroyers

Steel Lancet

Steel Lancet is a typical representative of the dying world, based on Gearing.

• A fast ship with standard armament for a destroyer. Her main guns function in a similar way to those of the secondary battery and are operated by artificial intelligence.
• She carries a set of consumables that have similar effects to Repair Party, Torpedo Reload Booster, and Engine Boost.
• Stay close to your allies, conduct reconnaissance, and attack large enemy ships with torpedoes.

Angler

Angler is destroyer Shimakaze, enhanced with the help of Twilight technologies.

• She’s equipped with long-range torpedoes, while her main guns are operated by artificial intelligence.
• Her unique set of consumables provides the team with continuous bonuses to HP recovery, maneuverability, or armament reload time.
• She’s best-suited to team work. At the beginning of a battle, you should focus on destroying bot enemies and collecting consumables, as the ship is inferior to other ships in terms of her battle performance in the initial stages of combat. Activate any collected consumables close to your allies and improve the combat characteristics of your team.

Mutantovsk

Mutantovsk is an ideal hunter. Destroyer Khabarovsk served as a prototype for this ship.

• Unbelievable speed, good artillery, and effective torpedo armament.
• She’s able to reduce her detectability range and restore HP when the ship hasn’t been spotted by the enemy. The consumable in slot 2 allows her to make an instant turn and accelerates her torpedo reload time. Engine Boost with special mechanics can be found in slot 3, and when activated, the ship can only be destroyed by ramming.
• This is a destroyer for players who appreciate speed, concealment, and surprise attacks! Close in on your enemies using her high speed and carry out crushing torpedo attacks. After an attack, you can always hide due to her reduced detectability and restore some of her HP that might have been lost in battle.

Cruisers

Rust Nightfall

Rust Nightfall is a cruiser for which Hindenburg served as a prototype.

• Typical armament for a cruiser: good artillery and torpedoes.
• She carries a set of consumables that have similar effects to Repair Party; Main Battery Reload Booster; and Hydroacoustic Search with an unlimited number of charges and torpedo acquisition range of 12 km.
• For players who like to rely on the versatility of cruisers. Due to her good speed characteristics, you can quickly collect Filth. Her main battery guns will easily cope with any destroyers or cruisers, and torpedoes will allow you to confront battleships in close quarters combat. We don’t recommend getting separated from your team, as the ship doesn't have the biggest HP pool or the best armor.

Octodroid

Octodroid is the best support ship on this side of the Portal. Engineers of the Twilight World built her from the wreckage of cruiser Alaska.

• Although she’s a support ship, her main battery guns are no less powerful than those of other cruisers.
• The ship’s consumables are designed to function in support of her allies, and her HP restoration charges are particularly outstanding. Apart from this, the ship has a consumable which instantly restores a large amount of HP for all her allies. She also enjoys the Surveillance Radar consumable with an unlimited number of charges and an action range of 15 km.
• A great choice for those who love to work in a pack. Assist your allies with her impressive artillery and save them from being destroyed with the help of her consumables.

Fossil

Fossil is a terrifying monster in which one can recognize the features of Henri IV.

• Powerful artillery and good torpedo armament.
• Spot your enemies using Hydroacoustic Search with an acquisition range of 12 km, and destroy them with inversion charges that reduce the main battery reload time and absorb your target's HP. To protect yourself from enemy attacks, use the consumable that reduces the damage received and restores your HP.
• A fast and well-armed ship that can cope with almost any situation in battle. Use her protection from damage in case of torpedo attacks or when surrounded by enemies. Restore your HP and increase the amount of damage caused with the help of inversion charges. Spot hiding enemies with her effective Hydroacoustic Search.

Battleships

Maverick

Maverick is a battleship assembled from République on the remnants of the destroyed world.

• Deadly main battery guns and a large HP pool.
• She carries a consumable that has similar effects to Repair Party, as well as the ability to reduce the amount of damage she receives.
• Her large HP pool and defensive consumables make this ship perfect for carrying a large amount of Filth.

Scorpioid

Scorpioid is designed to protect her allies. Battleship Yamato was taken as the prototype for this ship.

• Even alone, she's capable of collecting a huge amount of Filth due to her powerful main battery guns and strong armor. She’s almost invincible when deployed with well-coordinated team work.
• Restores the HP of all allies around her and temporarily provides them with invulnerability.
• Lead your team, destroy any enemies, and move from one Filth source to another while protecting the team with her consumables.

Crocosaur

Crocosaur is Montana, turned into a gigantic sea monster with the help of dark magic.

• Her guns can destroy an unwary enemy with a single salvo, but sinking the battleship herself is an almost impossible task.
• The ship can enjoy temporary invulnerability and restore her HP. The more enemies that are nearby, the more effective her regeneration abilities are.
• It's in the cargo hold of this monster where the collected Filth will have the greatest protection. If you’re ready to sacrifice speed for incredible firepower and survivability, Crocosaur is the right choice for you.

Rewards

The filth collected from playing the game mode could be used in three different sequential bundles: Halloween Ghost, Halloween Demon and Halloween Monster.

• Halloween Ghost: 18 bundles are available, with one of them including the Infernal permanent camouflage for Tier VIII ships. Cost: 500 Filth.
• Halloween Demon: 21 bundles are available, with one of them including the Infernal permanent camouflage for Tier IX ships. Cost: 2,000 Filth.
