Greetings Reagents,

[p][/p][p]Prepare for a world in flames with the new Limited-Time Event Deep Burn. Face hellish Trials filled with fiery hazards like fire mines, flame throwers, and an increased presence of the Pitcher: Murkoff’s resident and unhinged pyromaniac. Along with the fiery new hazards introduced in Season 4.1, two new MK-Challenges will be available to all Reagents. In Traffick the Product, players invade the territory of sinister manbaby mafioso, Franco Barbi, in order to flood his streets with a new experimental opioid devised by Murkoff. Meanwhile, Disrupt the Neighborhood aims to break down the barriers that divide us, literally, to encourage intrusion from outsiders. After all, without any fences, we’re all free to be each other’s neighbor![/p][p][/p]

New MK-Challenge: TRAFFICK THE PRODUCT
