Arks Bingo Available: June 12th ~
ARKS Bingo plays exactly how it sounds, but instead of calling out numbers, each square is cleared once the player achieves a specific objective. For example, one square may say "Grind a Weapon or Unit" and another may ask you to "destroy a blue container" or "feed an item to your mag."
Players can receive rewards by clearing a line of squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. This will contribute to your "Bingo Point" score that is tallied with the rest of players to unlock prizes during the 1 year anniversary event.
