Mo.Co's Rift Gauntlet & Soccer‑Ball Mount Hit Today

TL;DR: A fresh PvE Rift Gauntlet called Unstable Energy and a $20 soccer‑ball mount dropped in Mo.Co this morning. Free track pays out Chaos Cores, XP, and Mo Gold, while a $2.99 pass adds a meme dance and a red cup helmet. We break down the event, the new ride, and what the reset‑prone Elite Hunter Program might do next.

Two Surprises Before Breakfast

Most hunters woke up to find a brand‑new co‑op challenge on the event board and a flashy soccer‑themed ride in the shop. No advance notice, no teaser—just content ready to run or ride.

Rift Gauntlet: Unstable Energy

How the event works

  • Three‑player PvE race through a fresh Rift layout.
  • Beat three time goals—under 2:30, 2:00, and 1:30—to clear every star.
  • Free rewards: 1 Chaos Core, 10 000 XP, 10 Mo Gold.
  • Premium lane ($2.99): “Me Getting Ready” dance emote and Cup Velocity Red helmet.

Speed‑run tips

  1. Run Boombox on cooldown for burst waves.
  2. Split lanes early—each hunter triggers separate switches to shave seconds.
  3. Save your heal for Bone Smasher’s ground‑slam; face‑tank the rest.

$20 Soccer‑Ball Mount: Style over Stats

The Unstoppable soccer ball joins the Legendary‑ride roster at a premium $20 tag. Flames shoot from the valve hole, but movement speed stays the same as every other ride. Buy it for swag, not an edge.

Shop Notes & Creator Support

No fresh cosmetic bundles landed with the update, but you can still turn daily Merch Tokens into older outfits. Remember to drop a creator code if you like to tip your favourite streamer.

Elite Hunter Program—Reset Rumours

Smart Rings vanish when the next chapter rolls in, and many players expect a quarterly reset. If that cadence sticks, gear could climb about ten levels a season, offsetting the ring wipe and keeping power creep in check.

Should You Spend?

  • Pass: Cheap, quick XP and a Chaos Core—easy recommendation.
  • Mount: Pure vanity. Soccer fans may flex; everyone else can skip.

What’s Next?

Hard‑mode Gauntlets unlock after the first clear—expect heavier mobs and tighter timers. Developers still haven’t dated the Elite reset, but watch patch notes and community streams for hints.
