Free Fire’s exclusive Rampage II: Uprising continues the unique player-focused festival that started with Rampage, which ended up being Free Fire’s most well-received and consequential event to date based on player feedback. This time, the Bringers are at odds with their one-time apprentices, the Liberi, as they continue to quarrel about their different beliefs on how best to rid the world of evil, and it’s up to Survivors to choose which direction their futures will take. Survivors can then fight for their side in Versus mode to win exclusive Rampage collections, including the Famine Felon bundle, a series of M1014-Apocalyptic legendary weapon skins, Bringers’ and Liberi’s pins (both of which are new decoration items that can be placed on a player’s avatar), and much more.
‘When we decided to expand the Rampage universe to include an entirely new event, we were met with one big narrative decision to settle’, shared one of Free Fire’s narrative designers. ‘This challenge resulted in four new characters, Morana (death), Odin (war), Cyan (plague), and Bitez (famine), becoming the Liberi and the apprentices of Dee (death), Tyrian (war), Ivy (plague), and Munch (famine), the Bringers of Change. From there, we started working not only on character development but also in developing this chaotic world they all find themselves in. The last bit of the puzzle was integrating this incredible story into an in-game event that rewards players with choosing how the story unfolds, and of course, plenty of in-game loot!’
Free Fire received extremely positive reactions to the Bringers’ skin bundles from Survivors around the world. This year for Rampage II, the team still wanted the Liberi to inherit the characteristics of The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and some iconic design elements of the Bringers, but with a style that was more agile and avant-garde to better support and empower them.
Rampage II: Uprising features several pre-hype, peak day, and post-hype events Survivors can take part in to shape the future of the Bringers and Liberi. They include the Rampage Special Interface and the Badge Collection Event, which tasks Survivors with collecting Rampage Badges in order to earn the Catastrophe Slasher with a special badge available on peak day.
Speaking of peak day, Rampage II: Uprising’s will take place on July 4, 2020 and will feature the following events:
- Aftermatch Drop (7/4 only): Survivors will have a chance to obtain a permanent UMP – Cataclysm or Weapon Loot Crate at the end of each match.
- Plant Map Drop (7/4 - 7/5): Interact with plants found in each map to make them grow and drop tokens. The more Survivors interacting with a single plant, the faster it’ll grow.
- Friend Callback (7/4 - 7/8): Invite friends back to the Rampage campaign for a chance to win 99 Weapon Royale Vouchers and a Rampage Collection.
- Rampage 2.0 (7/4 - 7/12): This new game mode had to be built from the ground up to support its new stronghold gameplay mechanism. Survivors will need to occupy one of three points while also battling to become a Rampage Warrior capable of otherworldly abilities. Teamwork will be essential in order to achieve victory!
In addition to the music video above, a documentary and graphic novel will be available on Free Fire's official social media accounts very soon.
