MO.CO’s New Shot Bow & Rift Gauntlet: Everything You Need

ECHO Gaming Staff April 11, 2025 Gaming 1 month ago

 TL;DR: MO.CO just launched the Rift Gauntlet event and introduced the Shot Bow. Grab the affordable new pass, protect the research van, and test this powerful weapon across multiple stages. Leaderboard perks and community play add extra excitement. 

Overview

MO.CO has rolled out a double surprise: the new Shot Bow weapon and the Rift Gauntlet event. One of the biggest hooks here is that this event lets you try the Shot Bow before it officially hits other modes. There’s also a Premium Pass with a lower price than usual, which offers a single cosmetic and some handy rewards.

What’s New in the Pass

This Premium Pass costs $3.49, which is cheaper than past offerings. You’ll receive a stylish “draped mogul ego frost” outfit, complete with a pink tie and matching vest. There’s no headpiece this time, but you do get the guitar “Air Jam” move. Even if you choose not to buy the pass, you’ll still grab free experience, a “Professor vibes” move, and some mogul currency along the way. It’s also supposed to be easier to complete than the last event, answering player complaints about steep grind.

Leaderboard Rewards

If you really want to stand out, finishing in the top 15 on the event leaderboard brings extra mogul currency, straight from the developers. Positions 1–3 each snag 250 mogul, spots 4–6 get 200, 7–9 get 150, 10–12 get 100, and 13–15 get 80. It’s a nice way to reward players who push for top spots.

Rift Gauntlet Event Details

The current co-op mode is called Shotbow Mayhem: Rift Rush. You team up with two others to defend a research van from waves of bugs, axe-choppers, and more. As you progress, you’ll need to split up to cover multiple lanes. You’ll work through six acts total, each one increasing in difficulty. If you clear them all, you earn all the rewards in your chosen pass track.

While the first stage feels simple—enemies go down quickly—later acts pick up in difficulty. By the end, you’ll be juggling multiple swarms heading in different directions, so good coordination is key.

The Shot Bow in Action

The Shot Bow fires multiple arrows with each reload, building up a blue bar that grants a devastating power shot. When that bar fills, line up your shot, and unleash a big knockback effect with a short stun. It’s especially good for clearing large groups, and it feels powerful when you connect. Right now, it’s only part of the Rift Gauntlet event, so this is your chance to see if it’s too strong, too weak, or just right.

Tips for Smoother Runs

Coordinate Lanes: When enemies rush from multiple angles, split up logically. Two players on one side and one on the other often helps manage crowds.
Use the Power Shot Wisely: Wait for your blue bar to fill, then aim at the densest group of enemies to maximize damage and crowd control.
Watch Your Van’s Health: If enemies slip through, focus on clearing them right away. You can’t progress if the van goes down.
Join Community Events: Grouping up with others—especially if you join livestreams—can improve teamwork and strategy.

Conclusion

The Rift Gauntlet event gives you a taste of the Shot Bow’s firepower and offers a chance to pick up a more budget-friendly pass. With its co-op design, split-lane strategy, and a big reward for top players, there’s plenty to keep you interested. Whether you go premium or stick to the free path, it’s worth taking on this event to see just how strong (or balanced) the new Shot Bow is. Good luck, and have fun testing your aim!

Author’s Note: I’ve played a few acts and found the Shot Bow to be a refreshing choice. Share your progress, let me know if you finished all six acts, and see you on the leaderboard!
