December 5 Update Patch Notes

December 5 Update Patch Notes

As I delve into this intricate tapestry of updates and events, it feels like I’m navigating the labyrinthine halls of the Outpost itself! The festive air that fills the winter event is palpable, with the new winter-themed Outpost being a sight to behold.

The winter overhaul is almost here, featuring a fresh motif: DnD. Maiden and Guillotine are set to receive alternative versions, while Vesti will get a new coat. Cinderella, Grave, and Flora will be integrated into the standard roster. Moreover, details about the upcoming Solo Raid have also been disclosed.

Commanders,

On December 5, 2024, our game server is scheduled for maintenance and updates. This means you won’t be able to access the game during that period. We truly regret any disruption this may cause.

Kindly be aware that this update is compulsory. You can grab the newest version via AppStore or Google Play. Ensure your device holds at least 5G for the update, and if you’re a new commander playing NIKKE for the first time, you’ll need around 10GB of space. To install the latest PC client version, simply click on LAUNCH using your Launcher.

“While the game is downloading resources, please refrain from closing it. This helps prevent any issues with the client update.

Expected maintenance duration: 11:00:00 – 18:00:00, December 5, 2024 (UTC +9)

Maintenance Start

Maintenance End

The actual duration of maintenance may vary.

In simple terms, the characters SSR Nikke Cinderella and Grave cannot be obtained through the New Commander Special Recruit, Social Point Recruit, Tutorial Ordinary Recruit, or from the Mileage Shop. Instead, they will be available for recruitment in the standard Ordinary Recruit.

In simple terms, the SSR Flora can’t be obtained through the New Commander Special Recruit, Tutorial Ordinary Recruit, or Mileage Shop. However, it will be accessible via the Ordinary Recruit and from specific items labeled as “Mold”.
