Foxbat lockbox and event coming

[Kaos Arcanna]

So just saw a few posts on the CO Forums that the next lockbox will be Foxbat inspired. (There's a new outfit in it that's going to have me spending Zen again.)  It looks like there may also be a new action figure and some other stuff to try to get.

(Honestly, this stuff just makes me happy because it's attention being paid to the game.) :D

New event + Foxbat inspired. Sounds/looks promising. If they asked me who to model a new event after, Foxbat, would be right up there near or at #1.

This actually looks like a lot of fun! :D

[Xev]

ikr!

Frivolity, ensue..

Hope there's good lewts and the events are phun.

Event is live.

Even if you don't open lockboxes, there are swag bags dropping that you don't have to have a key to open. I've gotten a couple of Foxbat T-shirts and a Foam Finger aura. (How that works I don't know yet.)

[Xev]

You know how to equip auras huh?

Looking forward to some laffs tonite for sure.

[Kaos Arcanna]

Auras yes.

But how you can make an aura from a foamfinger not so much. :D

[Xev]

I've seen someone with a foam finger but I haven't seen the aura yet.

Is there something besides hunting his doubles going on? A swag bag hunt?

[Kaos Arcanna]

The Swag Bags drop from enemies like lockboxes. They give you some temp powers or costume pieces and something called Foxbat Cred. I don't know what it's for yet.

Someone on COX chat claimed on the training server there was an instanced mission where you talk to Foxbat.

There is, it's in a second phase of the event that isn't live yet.

The foxbat cred is used for buying stuff from the vendor in the middle of Renaissance Center, at one of the tables. He sells costume parts and devices.

Also, I found this on the CO forums: Foxbat Location Map. For the daily given by Mayor Biselle, also in Renaissance Center. Apparently there's a perk for finding all of them, but you can only talk to them while on that daily mission so that'll take a while.

Hey I got the foam finger too. I like it  : ) Nice that they are doing auras bind to account instead of character, too. Like with this one and the Gravi auras.

Kinda a slow start on the event *shrug*. Hunt for doubles and farm swag bags. Not as grand as, say, Blood Moon, so far.

Good theme and I guess we're not done yet.

Of the new Rampages, Gravi is still my favorite. Blood Moon's still my fave Event but I'm rooting for FB. Can't let the bad guys have the funnest Event and who better than Foxbat to take the crown.

How long is this event running for?

April 11 is the last day I believe.
