1.2.1 introduces the Springtide event, as well as a number of bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
NEW TO DAUNTLESS
Springtide is here, and the Shattered Isles are filled with pufflehops! Collect eggs and protect our furry friends in a new kind of hunt. To get started, talk to Bosun Markus.
Team up with friends to play through three rounds of challenges, earning carrot chips based on your performance.
Round 1: Hunt for eggs around the island.
Round 2: Herd pufflehops into their pen.
Round 3: Fend off the styxian attack!
You can also earn 50 carrot chips by completing any other type of hunt. Carrot chips can be spent in the Springtide shop to get unique cosmetics, emotes and more!
