The flapping wings and chilling screams of The Howler can be heard from a safe distance, but Prospectors are never truly safe from this terror of the sky. If they aren't careful, a Prospector can attract The Howler’s attention and be forced to face off with a massive airborne challenge. Only one Howler can be active on the map at a time, but even the most vigilant Prospectors can become its unwitting prey.
If you're unfortunate enough to face The Howler, take precautions because, at 50% health, this monster is known to use its special Howl Attack, which will affect everyone in line of sight before turning into an even more reckless and aggressive monster to fight. If a team can defeat the winged monster, they will be rewarded with valuable items like Howler Darts, Howler Honey, and, if they are super lucky, Howler Syrinx.
Season 2 is currently underway with “The Depths of Tharis Island,” including new campaign missions, gear perks, the New Fortuna Pass, and a variety of general game, balance and anti-cheat improvements for The Cycle: Frontier.
Season 3 will arrive on March 29, 2023, and will feature changes including improvements to the matchmaking system, new campaign quests to investigate The Howler, and free loadout runs. Free loadout runs let Prospectors drop down to the surface with free basic gear provided by the faction of their choice, then let them keep everything as long as they safely evacuate.
Season 3 has much more that will be announced soon. Stay tuned!
