Saturday, September 17, 2016 is an auspicious day in this part of Gotham City (and the whole DC Universe). It’s Batman Day! Batman appears in many forms in DCUO; revisit our feature from last year to see him in his many in-game forms.

This year, in honor of the truly legendary Dark Knight, we have some special happenings inside DCUO! But rather than limit them to a single day, they’ll be occurring for nearly an entire week – from Thursday, September 15 through Wednesday, September 21, 2016.


Batman is the quintessential Legend. So this week all Legends PvE events are open for all players! Ready to head to the South Gotham Courthouse? Think you have what it takes to tackle Area 51? Will the Hall of Doom or the Paradox Wave prove to be your undoing? There are twelve events in total that you can attempt during the Legends PvE Week, from September 15 through September 21, 2016!


In addition to the Legends event, if you head to the Marketplace you’ll find that Exobyte Data for all Legends characters are on sale for 40% off! Ever wanted to experience Legends content as Future Batman? Maybe Bombshell Catwoman? Or Arkham Asylum Joker? These and more will be available during our weeklong sale.

And if that weren’t enough, we’re also marking Batman-related items in the Marketplace down 40% as well! This includes base items (like the Batcomputer & More Pack), style items (such as the Batman Cowl Pack), toys (the Batman bouncy ball!) and more. Get Caped Crusader style and decorate your personal Batcave to match, all at a great discount.


We’ll have news about this ON Batman Day, September 17. Check the DCUO forums and follow @DCUO on Twitter to see the details and to enter!

Now, it’s time to be the hero (or villain) that DCUO deserves. Head in game and start celebrating Batman Day in Gotham City and beyond!

 
The event and sale begin in the US with daily server restarts at 4AM PT on September 15, 2016, and end at 4AM PT on September 22, 2016. The event and sale begin in the EU with daily server restarts at 8PM PT on September 14, 2016, and end at 8PM PT on September 21, 2016.

As you may have heard, Booster Gold has been filling up Time Capsules with lots of useful and exciting items to send through the Multiverse to you! These have now begun appearing in game with Game Update 63. But how do you find them? How can you open them? What’s waiting for you when you do? Let’s take a few minutes to prepare for their arrival and find out…


Time Capsules can be obtained through regular gameplay. You don’t need to do anything special in order to get these. As you’re playing the game as you normally would, you will eventually find a capsule waiting for you when you defeat an enemy.


To open a capsule, you’ll need a Stabilizer. There are two ways to obtain a stabilizer: purchasing one from the Marketplace for 100 Daybreak Cash (PC) or Marketplace Cash (Console), or putting one together through gameplay.

When you purchase a whole Stabilizer from the Marketplace, you can use it right away to open your capsule.

In game, you’ll need to find Stabilizer Fragments. You can use these fragments to piece together a full stabilizer, which can open a capsule. Stabilizer Fragments can currently be earned in-game in the new Duo Event, “Suicide Squad Training.” Head to Belle Reve to fight against guards, and possibly come face-to-face with a member of the Suicide Squad! You can find this in your On Duty menu under the “Events” tab.



Suicide Squad Training can be completed once per account per day. Free players will receive 3 Stabilizer Fragments per event, Premium players will receive 4 Stabilizer Fragments per event, and Members will receive 6 Stabilizer Fragments per event. It will take 15 Stabilizer Fragments to build a complete Stabilizer. Stabilizer Fragments and Stabilizers are special types of currency that are shared by all characters on your account.

Once you use a stabilizer to open a capsule, you’ll see what sort of goodies Booster Gold has sent to you!


Each capsule is tradable and once opened will include a variety of useful, mostly tradable, items. Some of these items will be included inside a separate capsule or box inside the Time Capsule. These contain styles, auras, collections, and gear, including:


Get one of these boxes in your Time Capsules and you’ll find it contains Future Batman-inspired gear that is level-appropriate to your character. There are different boxes for different item types, including Head, Shoulders, Back, Chest, Waist, Hands, Legs, or Boots.



These boxes are tradable until they’re consumed; then, since the gear becomes attuned to your current character’s role and level, they will be locked to that character.


Show your support of the Lantern Corps with these new Emblems! There is an emblem available for every Corps:

• Black Lantern Corps
• White Lantern Corps
• Orange Lantern Corps
• Red Lantern Corps
• Blue Lantern Corps
• Green Lantern Corps
• Indigo Tribe
• Sinestro Corps
• Star Sapphire Corps

In addition to adding flair to your in-game appearance, each Emblem grants a feat, as does collecting them all!


When you collect certain items from the capsules, they will go towards completing a collection that rewards you with a misted aura – Green, Amber, or Red!



Think any of your Lantern Corps-inspired characters could use one of these?


New stat/ability mods, Exobytes, R&D materials, other styles, and additional helpful items will also be found in the capsules. To hear additional information about these new Time Capsules, and to see some of the style items in action, rewatch this livestream replay from July 2016:

Time Capsules are now available with the launch of Game Update 63! Stay tuned to the official forums and DCUO Social Channels (Twitter, Facebook) for more information!

A puff of smoke. A radiant light. A shimmering visage. Whatever your hero or villain’s style, there’s likely an aura to suit them in the new Aura Pack I, now available in the Marketplace!

These never-before-released color variants of the Nimbus, Plasmic, Smoke, and Radiant auras are claimable on every character on your account, and these exact four auras are in every pack. For a single purchase, you get:

Look Like You Belong on Themyscira: Amazon Hairstyle Pack

Do you remember the first time you came face to face with the Themysciran warriors in Amazon Fury Part I? In addition to being impressed by their fierce strength and their mighty prowess… be honest, how jealous were you of their amazing hair?

If you were, be jealous no more! Three new Amazonian hairstyles are now available in the DCUO Marketplace in the Amazon Hairstyle Pack. The bundle (which includes all three styles - Warrior Braid, Fighter's Faux Hawk, and Themysciran Edge) is available for 500 Daybreak Cash.

And while the island of Themyscira is inhabited by women only, these styles can be used by both male and female characters!

Switching up your character’s look with one of these new styles? Tweet to @DCUO and use the hashtag #SummerOfWonder!

 

Note: These items are redeemable for every character on the account, and they are not tradable. 

Not all heroes are good. Not all villains are bad. And there’s no group where this is truer than in the Suicide Squad. This summer, it’s good to be bad in DCUO. Here are the latest Suicide Squad-themed additions, available now!


Do you have enviable aim? Show everyone that they don’t want to get caught in your crosshairs with styles inspired by Deadshot. With these new styles, players can now unlock a more powerful set of PvP gear, after obtaining all previous sets.


In Amanda Waller’s pursuit to find Heroes and Villains to fill her Suicide Squad ranks, she is sending authorities into Gotham City to arrest people and pitting them against each other. Harley Quinn, under Waller’s watchful eye, has been ‘detained and delegated’ to manage the ‘interviews’ of Belle Reve’s newest inmates as they battle for survival and supremacy. Match up against the best of the best and find out if you’re Squad-worthy in our new Arena and Legends Deathmatch map: Belle Reve!



Ready to rev up your look? Dress like the pin-up who packs a punch with styles inspired by DC Bombshells Harley Quinn! This style pack, available now in the Marketplace, includes six style items (the DC Bombshell Harley Belt, Shoes, Goggles, Gloves, Shorts, and Chest).

NOTE: the DC Bombshells Harley hairstyle is sold separately, in the DC Bombshells Hairstyle Pack.



Make the most of this Suicide Squad weekend in Belle Reve with DOUBLE the rewards in PvP. Players will receive double the usual Marks of Valor and Marks of Legend when completing any PvP match this weekend (Arenas and Legends). The bonus marks begin today, August 4, 2016, at 10AM PT, and end on Monday, August 8, 2016, at 10AM PT.
