PSO2 Is Celebrating It's 8th Anniversary

Happy PSO2 Anniversary!

July 8th, 2020

 

Special Training: Episode 6

Let's celebrate PSO2's 8th anniversary with a new Limited Quest! Taking place on VR Space, players will have to breakthrough two combat zones. The contents of the zones will be decided at random among several patterns. Xierra will also lend support based on the number of players in a zone.

In the second half of the quest, you must head towards the Photoner's cardinal ship and defeat the commander. Clearing the quest gives you the chance to receive the 4 player Trigger Quest version.

 

Quest drops include the new ★15 weapon series [Krisa], along with new *Coat Vesper and *Coat Glide camos.
