Description
In this event, a Mothership will spawn. Chinooks carry crates of Lesser Salmonids from the Mothership to the battleground. The Mothership will try to take eggs from the egg basket.
In-Game Information
What Happens
- New troops are brought to the battleground from the Mothership.
- A large number of Chinooks will bring containers of lesser Salmonids from the Mothership to join the fray.
- Periodically, the Mothership will draw close to the egg basket and try to suck up and reclaim any Golden Eggs inside.
How to Get Golden Eggs
- Shoot the containers carried by the Chinooks to make them explode.
- If you manage to blow up the Chinooks as well, they will drop Golden Eggs.
Advice from Mr. Grizz
- Split up to take out the Chinooks.
- If the Mothership comes to take back the Golden Eggs, everyone should focus on pushing it back!
Supplementary Information
- The Mothership is a vital cog in the Salmonid distribution chain.
- Deploying the Mothership is said to be the last resort of the Salmonid army. When it is dispatched, all troops stationed nearby gather together to see it off.
