_From July 24 to August 11, taken on tougher enemies bearing infested armor!_ ![16_9RottenArmor](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/f/5/f5b952a8260e5962e7ca13e7c512c99b54cb7a15.jpeg) # New in-game event: Rotten Armor The Blight has mutated, twisting the very armor our enemies wear. Watch out for these decaying, disgusting threats. **Crushers, Maulers and Scab Ragers** in missions with the Event active will bear an infested armor, which makes them **slower** but **much tougher**! And **beware their vile secretions** , the blood they shed might not be so harmless… ![Rotten Armor Poster 2 Square](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/6/1/61fbe498e836011d592875c4cdd6fdf3b973dd72.jpeg) **To make progress in the event, complete missions with the Rotten Armour condition. This goes for any combination of Rotten Armour and other modifiers that are available, such as Rotten Armour and Hunting Grounds, Rotten Armour and Pox Gas and more.** This event **starts on Thursday, July 24** , and will run **until August 14!** Progress in the event will reward **Ordo Dockets, Plasteel, Diamantine** , and a **brand new portrait frame** at the last tier! ![stats](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/6/c/6ce9dc71bab80b9e1ef7fb9671ce04bf131f8763.jpeg) ![achievements_86](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/7/7/772435696fc0f95d47e268f1e3c7eb61f26528db.png) ---

Infested makes the enemies a bit (defensively) weaker since infested has overall lower damage reduction. ---

If Fetshark changes the event policy, adding 500 aquila, the online will be higher and more stable. Plus motivation, plus players will be willing to wait for events. Or instead of aquila, a unique coloring of weapons and clothes… ---

For everyone complaining about no more Aquilas as the final reward for this event, please keep in mind that there were actual idiots complaining about it when they appeared for the first (and only) time. That’s what we get for having a bunch of cry babies in our community. ---

Listen… you guys are gonna have to give away Aquillas… your player base is declining, were being charged too much for Skins… Theres nothing worth earning and youre competing with games like rivals.. Tall to your makerting team to get approval. Give us a way to earn money for the skins and watch the player engagement increase. ---

can you just stop giving plasteel has a reward and replace it with more Diamantine? everyone who plays the game already gets more than enough plasteel just by completing missions. how about deleting plasteel and diamantine has currencies and giving them a Ordo Dockets value instead or a single crafting currency so players are not irritatingly bottlenecked at the crafting part of the game. ---

You promised us a live service game, after all. If you’re not going to give away Aquilas, at least give us skins that people ACTUALLY CARE about. Tempestus Scion wargear, Vostroyan Firstborn, Valhallans, Solar Auxilia, and make the clothes stop have pieces floating into the ether or clip into other pieces of gear. There’d better not be another lazy recolor or reskin of another piece you put into the game at launch for the next two, three years of operation. If the game lasts that long. Who knows, maybe we’ll get an announcement about a Skitarii in a year and a half. ---
