Auraximas is Upon Us!
A snowy Sanctuary heralds the beginnings of Auraximas, a holiday tradition for Auraxians young and old. With this festive season comes Snowmen-littered battlefields, a limited-time holiday directive, gift-giving missions, and special items available in the Depot.

Sanctuary's Snowfall

• The Sanctuary neutral ground comes to life as new sights and sounds permeate the corridors.
• Watch out for the Snowblowers, they're quite powerful!

Time-Limited Missions

• Sanctuary's observation drone is making a list, checking it... multiple times, and they need your help to obtain gifts for the denizens stationed aboard.
• Receive one new Auraximas mission each day, and earn a special title reward when all are complete!

A new Holiday Directive!

• Life on the battlefield can be made just a bit brighter with a new Auraximas directive!
• Progress through these holiday challenges, and receive a sweet new camouflage on completion!

Snowman Surprise

• You'll occasionally find Snowman throughout the combat areas on Auraxis. Destroy them for extra experience!
• An elusive Golden Snowman can occasionally be found hidden among them, destroying this one will yield a holiday hood ornament!
• You can deploy your own Snowman Soldier by unlocking this (very) tactical item from the Depot.
