WHAT IS MONUMENT EVENTS?

What are Monument Events?

Monument Events are high-difficulty PvE events where a mass of armed NPCs storms a specific monument. This is a different beast from your usual loot run. The field gets sealed inside a giant dome, and it escalates steadily on a timed, staged basis. The final objective is securing the locked crate (hackable crate) dropped from the sky. The moment it’s in hand, the event is yours. Rushing in solo is basically suicide—it’s a co-op-by-design, festival-style battle built around fighting together with multiple people ⚔️

VISUAL GUIDE

Check the vibe with video & images 🎬

From the dome deploying to the NPC onslaught, the CH47 crate drop, and the grab. Burn this chaos into your eyes before you charge in.

First, see the real flow

Check the NPC numbers, how heavy the incoming fire is, and the pace to securing the crate on video. You’ll instantly get a feel for what range to fight at and how to position.

EVENT FLOW

Event progression flow 🕒

Get a handle on how it escalates in stages over time. Take the announcement as your cue—gear up and assemble!

1

5 min before start — global announcement 📢

An event will fire at some monument, and 5 minutes before, an announcement goes out via chat and on-screen notice. The target monument is shown on the map with a difficulty-colored marker. Prep up and head over!

2

Event start — dome deploys & NPCs spawn en masse 🛡️

At the start, the whole monument gets covered by a giant dome, and right after, a mass of NPCs all spawn at once. The battlefield begins here. If you’re inside the monument before it starts, you’ll almost certainly die, so always wait outside!

3

CH47 inbound — locked crate dropped 🚁

After trading fire with the NPCs for a while, a CH47 (transport heli) flies in and drops the locked crate. This is the final objective. Once it lands, head over to secure it.

4

Extra wave — touching it drops reinforcements 💀

The locked crate stays locked for a set time. Touch it (start hacking) and the CH47 flies in again, dropping a mass of extra NPCs. This is the real make-or-break moment!

5

Unlock — grab the crate to clear 🏆

Once it unlocks, open the crate and grab the loot! Securing the crate counts as a clear. Shortly after, the event ends and the dome disappears too. Nice work!

MUST READ

Must-read notes before you take it on ⚠️

This event is one where “dying is normal.” Here are the key points that sharply raise both your survival and success rate just by knowing them.

☠️ It’s an instant-death zone right at the start

At the start, there’s no safe spot inside the dome. Stay inside and the NPCs’ concentrated fire will almost surely kill you. When the announcement shows, always retreat outside the monument.

🛏️ Set up a sleeping bag, expecting to die

There are tons of NPCs and a high chance of getting hit. Expect to go down repeatedly, and we strongly recommend placing a sleeping bag nearby before you take it on. Respawn and rejoin the front line instantly.

🤝 Anyone joins freely — no monopolizing

This event is open for anyone to join freely. Hogging it as a single group is banned. Call out to the players around you and attack together!

🎯 Watch for friend/foe confusion

Without a party, it’s hard to tell NPCs from other players. Form a party or call out ahead of time to prevent friendly fire.

STRATEGY

The staff-recommended play style 🧠

This event is content for enjoying the “festival feel” and “fighting together” over pure “efficiency.” Pile in and have a blast with everyone!

📣

Gather people 5 min before

When the announcement shows, actively rally people. The more of you there are, the easier the breakthrough gets.

👊

Don’t solo-charge — push with numbers

Rushing in alone is forbidden. Focus your firepower and push back the onslaught with sheer numbers.

🛏️

Scatter sleeping bags & gear

It’s a die-expected event. Scatter sleeping bags around and build a respawn → re-enter loop.

🎁

Don’t hog it after a clear

Once you’ve grabbed it, value the culture of passing it to the next person. Everyone having fun is the best strategy of all.

🔔 When the announcement plays, it’s the signal to move out!

Don’t miss the chat notification and the difficulty marker on the map.
Gather your crew, break the dome, and rip away the locked crate! 🚀
