Answer the Call of the Wilds...
and search for a magnificent, missing Megadon at Crater’s last stop The Wilds. Take off to Boone's home region from September 9 - September 22.

Search the dusty desolation and rocky cliffs of Megadon Junction, the rustic excavation site, Stompy’s Refuge, and the treacherous tar pits of the newly added Kayo Kanyon.

The Rocket Rail Line, famous for circumnavigating Crater’s rim, is behind schedule, as usual. Only this time, when the train arrives at Kayo Kanyon, its massive, amazing cargo is missing! That’s right, the giant skeleton of BOOMER THE MEGADON -- a relative of STOMPY -- has vanished during the train’s journey! Wait, a skeleton that walks? It sure looks like it! So, with only Megadon-sized clawprints to go by, Boone & Company are heading off on the hunt for BOOMER!

Journey to new event playlists, and play new game modes: Megamuzzle and Splat; then test your solo skills in Duel.

There are special Rocket Rail Line Deliveries: free login rewards throughout the event. Login to get up to 8 event rewards including the Megadon Adventure Boone, Rugged Rocks Totem Pattern, Rocket Rail Caboose Totem Symbol, and the Fossilized Megablast VFX Trail.

Boone thinks that the best way to sneak up on a Megadon is to wear a disguise, which explains why Boone & Zik are now dressed as Zoone & Bik! Fortunately, Archaeologist Amphora has a more scientific approach. And Rocket Rail Engineer Flux and Rocket Rail Conductor Plink will do their best to keep the train running on time.

All Runaway Megadon Epic and Legendary outfits from the direct store come with a Wilds-themed Stompy’s Lookout character stand, and a character customization screen background that are unique to the event.

New Map Added: Kayo Kanyon
KAYO KANYON, named after Boone’s Grandfather, is an abandoned whistle stop in the Wilds. Here, the Rocket Rail Line rumbles along some of the ricketiest tracks in Crater. You’ll find a rocket-shaped WATER TOWER, and a TAR PIT swimming with Megadon Bones and ancient Rockets. Fire weapons through the rocket-shaped arches and avoid opponents by ducking into the mining tunnels that were left behind by the defunct GCEG -- the Greater Crater Excavator Company.

The Wilds - WORLD AND LORE

LORE
Boomer the Megadon’s bones did not make the journey to Kayo Kanyon. What happened? Where are the clues? Here’s what we know:

Giant Megadon may not really be extinct after all!

Whispers in The Wilds tell tales of Megadon Bones moving in the middle of the night, or even becoming startled with Rockets. Fire at Stompy to see the effect in-game!

Boomer may have run away, but why?

Boomer clearly didn’t intend to spend the rest of his days in Kayo Kanyon, but where he disappeared remains a mystery.

For more lore please check out our Lore Channel in the Rocket Arena Discord: https://discord.gg/9JZjKYp

Runaway Megadon is the beginning of a longer storyline that will develop in future events!

We can’t wait for you to join the hunt for Boomer in the Wilds! Whether or not you track him down that runaway Megadon, it’s sure to be an exciting adventure!
