Knockout City Chronicle #9

Double XP Weekend in Week 2!

Knockout City Chronicle #9 

What’s happening, brawlers? Looks like you’ve been having a good time out there brawlin’ now that Season 2 is in full effect. Seeing more than a few of you crewin’ up and rockin’ our new Armazillo Bundle. Which reminds me, I’ve got a joke for you:

Q: What was the Crew Name of the brawlers who all showed up in matching kaiju outfits, taunted all game, and were wiped out 0-10?

A: The Karma-zillos!

Alright, that wasn’t the best one, but it’s what I’ve got, and if it made you smile or groan, I’ll consider that a win. Let’s get back in to it:

Double XP Weekend!

You’ve been working hard out there, rationing your Energy Drink bundles to get the most out of every last drop, we thought you could use a little extra boost. Starting at 12pm (noon) UTC Friday, August 6th, all match XP will be doubled!

It’s more fun when you’ve got a Crew Mate by your side, so team up with a friend and grind up those Street Ranks! Looking for a group? Join our official Discord and check the #lfg-chat! There’s always people lookin’ to throw down there! Or, better yet, tell your friends to download the game and try it out for free, up to Street Rank 25. You’ll have 72 hours to team up and collect all that extra XP before Double XP Weekend ends at 12pm UTC Monday, August 9th.

Bundle Shop

This week’s bundle ain’t messin around. It’s the Dungeon Delver, fresh from the fight, where he sought trinkets and glory in the depths below. He’s taken a few swings, and more than a few arrows, and he’s still throwing dodgeballs like he’s just getting warmed up. This bundle comes with the Sable Fedora Face, the Do My Own Stunts Outfit, the Treasure Hunter Victory Pose, the Treasure Chest Ultimate Hologram, and the Glyphs Player Icon, all for just 1800 Holobux!

This Week In Playlists

How are you enjoying that fresh new Daily Playlist rotation? Keepin’ you on your toes? Don’t worry, if you’re looking for good ol reliable, you can always depend on Team KO to be there for you. Each week, however, we’ll drop a brand new Playlist in your lap. Remember those meaningful friendships you fostered earlier? Well it’s time to break them in Big KO Chaos. It’s every brawler for themselves as total chaos reigns supreme in this massive 8-player free-for-all! First player to 15 KOs wins the match.

We’ve had one weekly Playlist, yes, but what about daily Playlists? Well, if you don’t want to be surprised when you log in for your daily login bonus, the graphic below will give you a heads up on what you can expect every day of the week!

Contract Rewards

This week, complete any 2 contracts and strut in with pride having unlocked the Crowned Crew Logo. But wait—there’s more! You’ll get this beaut for completing any 4: the Entourage Crew Vehicle. So queue up your Contract Tracker and get to it, because that hover vehicle isn’t going to earn itself.

Now feels like a good time to remind everyone that if you complete all six weekly Crew Contracts, you’ll get a 5% XP boost that lasts the remainder of the season!

Hollowood Drive-In Callout Maps

Need a guide to call out your location to your Crew Mates? Here you go! Please, use them, your teammates will thank you!

Dev Team Stream for The Trevor Project

This week’s stream is an extra special one—we’ll be raising money for The Trevor Project, a 501c3 charity that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25. Come help us reach our goal—it’s in dollars, not Hollobux. For every $100 we raise, we’ll give away a Mini Swag Kit, and for every $500, we’ll give away a full-sized swag kit!

Play of the Week

You ever see someone who’s just so chill under pressure that you just wish you could soak up some of that energy and save it for the next time your partner’s family comes to town? Why? No reason, just that my cheesecake is fine, Sharron! Anywho. MDee14 plays like he’s just got this no matter what you throw at him, and he’s got that positivity to boot! Cheers!

KO City Fanart

We love welcoming new brawlers to the community, and this very talented person is no exception! u/Floof shared these creative visions of her characters in everyday poses! Thanks Floof!
