Yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year, even on Arbuda IV.

The Zuul captured some very incautious carolers, psionically devoured their yuletide cheer, and as a result even the inhabitants of the Pit have gotten into the spirit of the season. This has compelled the Zuul to leave wrapped presents under brightly decorated trees - the foolish slave-apes' holiday rituals were easily mastered by the Bloodweaver's favored children!

But something has stolen all the gifts they'd left - if you can find them, maybe you can score some sweet loot, including new Christmas-related recipes and achievements. But only for a limited time, so load up The Pit today!


Everything in the Pit still wants you dead. Happy Holidays!

Xmas Presents Spoilers

No really. The Pit is filled with Turkeys. Well, the area just outside The Pit. But there are a lot of them. And they are delicious. If you've ever worried about food as you dive down into The Pit, this long weekend (starting today) is a good day to jump in, fill your pack with poultry, and give it your best shot.

"Hey, turkey's are dangerous, I remember them from last year!"

Don't worry, these wild turkey's haven't had to survive in The Pit. They can't hurt you. In fact, they may want to be eaten.

Also, some other boring minor tweaks were made, but really, this is the best part and the only part you need to know about.

Good hunting and good luck! Have a great weekend everyone!
