	"I wanted to add a new dimension of gameplay experience to legacy beyond just The Hive and Wasteland. The raid system serves this purpose of providing a new way to experience content and events in the game while also enabling us to expand on the lore in fun ways." - Aldo	Raids have their own forum on Legacy, you should post any questions not answered on Raids there.

	A feature of Legacy.	Raids	Raid Vault

Aldo formally released raids on December 23rd 2018 with "A Very Merry Realm."
Raids work on a grid system, similar to the wasteland, where the player moves around, fights NPCs, and tries to complete comprehensive objectives.

If you are looking for what Raid Points are for, check Raids/Rewards.
This page will help guide you through raids, but if you have any further questions check the raid forum.

Basic Information

Controls

• Spacebar - attack first enemy in area presence list.
• Arrow keys / WASD - movement.
• E - use/interact with the current building/object on the square.
• Enter - highlights the chat box to type a message, pressing enter again will send and deselect the box.

Tips

• Raids don't consume energy while attacking or moving, but you may have to pay some as a cost to enter. Credits or other materials may also be required.
• Someone in a raid can't be attacked by someone who is in the hive or the wasteland.
• You can't be in a raid for longer than 30 minutes.
• Some raids reset hourly, daily, or weekly, and all raids have a cool-down at 30 minute intervals on server time.
• While NPCs can still drop item rewards when defeated, to receive that item you have to complete the raid and you'll see any items dropped on the rewards page.
• Leaving a raid before finishing an objective will mean you have to wait 5 minutes before entering another raid, subsequent leaving stacks another 5 minutes (to a max of 15 minutes.)
• Raids have their own page in the Hall of Records which has leaderboards for both number of completions and fastest completion times.
• Some raids disable item xp, others do not. Read the description to be sure.
• If you die or leave a public raid you can re-enter up to a certain point, however any xp or item drops will be lost.
• If you were in a public raid but die and it is completed before you rejoin you will not receive anything, include the hourly/daily/weekly rewards.

History

Raid Teaser

End view (click to enlarge)

Observer cloak reward

On June 15th 2018 (over 6 months before its release) a preview of raids was made public.
This still can be started by talking to Ventrix through the hunting page.

Upon completing the teaser you will receive an "Observer cloak" for your character (pictured to the right,) also a title which reads "Observer."
Matt770 being the very first person to complete the teaser was given an unique title which reads "The First Observer."

The teaser is small and has a set path to take. Along that path there are a couple of static "enemies," they do not react or attack you but you can attack and defeat them.
Also as you progress forward you receive the following messages in the log of what's happening in the raid:

• This is your future.
• This is also your past.
• This is what you will become.
• We do not interfere.
• We only observe.
• But now you have observed.
• Will you interfere?
• Tell me...
• ..Observer.

At the end of the raid you meet Ventrix and have the option to "observe."
Further lore since has suggested this is Ventrix making you an Observer.
