The Airship Designs opens up the stage screen, which will show the current stage, the state leaderboard and a button to the current weeks event screen in the bottom right. There is also an overall leaderboard that wraps up on the last day of the event. This leaderboard is similar to the usual skin event leaderboard, except that you can "level up" a trophy and then buy an expanded reward pack. For more information on each section, use the menu above.

Week 1 - Airship Construction

The 'Day of Hope - The Comeback' screen is where you turn in the materials you have gathered. It also has links to the State, Solo and Stage leaderboards. When you turn in materials you have a chance to receive a random reward (up to 25 times per material type). The video below has a quick overview of the week 1 event.

SoS 2nd Anniversary Event Week 1 Mini Overview

The materials required are obtained from the 4 events below:

SoS 2nd Anniversary Event Week 1 Material
Material Shortage
SoS 2nd Anniversary Event Week 1 Leather
Leather Looting
SoS 2nd Anniversary Event Week 1 Machine
Threat from Machine Plant

The events work as follows:

  • Material Shortage - This event runs all week, killing infected (NOT INTEL) has a chance to drop any of the three materials. NOTE: After a certain number of drops, the drop rate WILL DECREASE TO APPROX 1 DROP IN 15 KILLS!
  • Leather Looting - This event gives you 3 x Leather for the first 10 intel you complete on the days it is active.
  • Threat from Machine Plant - This event allows you to spawn a Mechanical Abomination challenge boss that drops 8 x Engine Parts when killed. You start with 2 chances on the days it is active and gain an extra chance every 3 hours. NOTE: This is currently 'bugged' and the boss will die at 209,405(ish) damage every time.
  • GigaCorp's Metal Plant - This event gives 6 x Engine Parts for the first 5 Infected Fiends you defeat on the days it is active.

Check the Rewards tab for info on leaderboard rewards!

Week 2 - Airship Charging

Time to fuel up that BLIMPY! - This weeks events focus on gathering Energy TankEnergy Tanks. These are obtained from 3 sub events shown below.

Also available this week is the Energy CatalystEnergy Catalyst. These little babies will boost the points gained from handing in your Energy Tanks!. These are won by having the fastest time on your server each day for the Gol Goroth's Maw event. NOTE: The Catalyst when activated lasts for 5 mintes. During that time points gained are boosted by 20%, and this MAY be in effect for the entire state (unconfirmed). My suggestion is to hold onto your Energy Tanks until the last day of the event, use whatever Catalyst you have and then hand them all in!

Hmmm. The MAW. This insane event requires a lot of 'slpainin, so I made a video. There a a few key points just down below to be aware of that didnt make it into the video (and some that did). The MAW runs all week long, has a daily speed run leaderboard (insane difficulty only) and some tasty rewards available (too many to list).

SoS 2nd Anniversary Event Week 2 Gol Goroth's Maw
Gol Goroth's Maw

First some key points, then a cheesy MAW! event infomercial...

  • Relocators. Free. Once every 30 seconds. Shared cooldown between ALL team members! One can easily burn through 15 advanced relocators until one realises this fact (guilty).
  • Insta-Rally. Tick this box. Actually never untick this box. As soon as all 5 team mates arrive at your settlement, your rally will march, event if it has 4minutes remaining. AWESOME!
  • Lil Critters (Proliferating Infected). Red/Black BAD, Green GOOD. Kill the red/back ones ASAP as they deliver nasty debuffs to you, or buffs to the boss. If you have nothing else to attack, then poke the green ones, they give YOU nice buffs when killed!
  • Tumors. These blobby blokes show up when the boss is at 40% (in an annoying cutscene).
    • Green - When Mr. Green is alive, every hit on the boss (solo and rallies) will build up a damage reduction shield. (20% per hit?).
    • Every hit on the green tumor will REDUCE the shield on the boss by 20%?
    • Solution? Make sure everyone in your group is sending a march to smack him down! When he is underground, the shield wont go up. Or down.
    • Lastly, Mr. Purple's ONE job in life is to respawn Mr. Green. Poke him once and Mr. Green will reappear.
  • Vines. A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G. Nuff said? Relocate if you can to avoid, keeping in mind the first point. Otherwise off to jail you go. To free yourself, ALWAYS send your march to YOUR green puddle. Teammates can free you by attacking your puddle OR your cage, whatever is closer!.
  • When to rally and when to solo. This one is up to you. And your team. Results WILL vary, mostly based on hero strength.
SoS 2nd Anniversary Event Week 2 Gol Goroth's Maw Event

Lastly, Operation Fuel. Complete Operation Fuel Intel MarkerSpecially Marked intel for Energy Tanks. 5 per day, nothing special. Runs daily for week 2.

Week 3 - Airship Painting

Time to paint the blimp red! This weeks events focus on collecting paint. These are obtained from the Wheel of Fortune, Airship Guardian and Painting Battle sub-events.

The ‘Airship Designs’ and ‘Day of Hope’ screen is where you turn in the paint and submit your airship painting picture. The most voted picture will be displayed on the blimp at the end. The same as previous weeks, there are 4 rewards chests as per below.

Without further ado, onto the sub-events:

  • Wheel of Fortune: 1 free dart given every day. You can purchase more darts or use 2000 Biocaps for 1 dart (5 chances). Prizes include Airship HQ skin (if you’re lucky), Sky Fighter March skin plus more.
  • Airship Guardian: Search for infected horde to open reward crates. 5 marches a day to open 5 crates. Recommend to rally yourself and use Travis to save on stamina. Don’t need anyone else to join your rallies.
  • Painting Battle: Similar to SOTF you gain points by raising chief gear, speedups and using plasma.
  • Searching for paint tubes: Ongoing speedups, kill infected, gather in wilderness, use biocaps, explore and collect settlement resources.

There is also a Time-limited Sale Store where you can exchange biocaps for different items i.e speedups, resources, hero parts, chief gear etc.

After you've left yourself a funny/mean note, page 10 will reveal your stats for the past year, but not before prompting you to pick a badge! Badges appear to be unlocked based on certain tasks/achievements over the year, so your available badges will likely differ. Once you pick your badge you can't change it!
