As someone who has been immersed in the captivating world of BrownDust for quite some time now, I must say that this latest update is nothing short of exciting! The Fiend Hunter event, particularly the Crab Mother segment, seems to be shaping up quite nicely, despite the minor hiccup. It’s always a pleasure to revisit familiar territory, especially when it comes with improved mechanics and adjustments.


Hello. This is Brown Dust 2.

Maintenance and updates are planned for October 30th (UTC) as detailed below.

Heads up, fellow gamers! Just wanted to let you know that our game server will be undergoing maintenance on October 30th at 11:50 PM UTC. The exact duration is yet to be announced (TBA). During this period, we’ll unfortunately have to take the game offline, so you won’t be able to access it. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to improve your gaming experience!

1. Character Pack 7 “Contract Wars” Update

Experience fully voiced narration for the primary missions of the seventh Character Pack, available in both Korean and Japanese languages! Immerse yourself in the captivating storyline as the characters come to life with their spoken dialogue.

As a passionate player, I’m thrilled to share that the exciting seasonal event, “Carta War Z,” is getting an update! Here are the details:

In this game, you can spend the currency earned from each piece of content to buy a variety of goods at the Event Store.

1) Carta War Z Event Story Overview

In the aftermath of securing the contract battle against Arkan, Michaela, and Luvencia, they are thrown into a flurry of activity. On their routine journey home, they encounter an unexpected horror: zombies!

On the initial day of the Seasonal Events, all tales will become accessible, but to progress to the next one, you’ll need to finish the preceding story first. Additionally, every time you read a story, you’ll gain Event Currency and Dia.

2) War Zone Event Battle Synopsis:

3) Field Quest Overview: “Save the Cure!” Participation
– Join the field quest to gather Treatment Vials hidden along the roadside before time runs out.
– Gathering each Treatment Vial will net you 100 Points.
– Be cautious of zombies on the roadside, as they’ll pursue and explode when they spot you. Avoid them while gathering Treatment Vials.
– The game concludes once the time limit expires, with rewards resetting daily at midnight (UTC).
– In case multiple players achieve top scores, the first player to reach that score will be ranked highest.
– During field quests, you can utilize Skills such as Search, Stealth, Danger Detection, Dash, and Swiftness.
However, using these skills in Field Quests won’t consume any Ability Pills or grant any Ability Skill Experience.

4) Introduction to the Giant Fiend Abomination Hunt
– The countdown begins for the pursuit of the colossal monster, the Giant Fiend Abomination.
– To participate, simply click on “Fiend Hunter” located at the bottom of the Seasonal Event’s main interface screen.

Formerly a common salesperson, this colossal Zombie Monstrosity has initiated powerful assaults on the city, suggesting a desire for retribution against past career hardships. With an imposing stature and communication skills, this Monstrosity seems to stand out among ordinary zombies. Could it be that it holds the solution to the ongoing zombie predicament?

– You can enter by tapping “Fiend Hunter” at the bottom of the Seasonal Event main screen UI.

5) Overview of the War Z Event Store:

* In addition to the products above, various items necessary for growth will be sold.

After the Carta War Z Seasonal Event concludes, the items available in the Event Shop, which require a paid AP for purchase, will be reset. It’s recommended that you utilize any remaining AP before this reset takes place.

For seven days following the end of the AKATSUKI Seasonal Event, the shop will stay open, allowing you to spend any leftover Bebebies to collect your rewards.

6) Overview of Bonus Costumes for Seasonal Events

For each distinct Seasonal Event Bonus Costume you possess, the extra currency you earn will be added together, taking into account all the costumes in the collection.

1) As a gamer, I’m excited about the new feature in the Tower of Salvation – the Artifact Codex! Now, you can easily see all the Artifacts that show up in the tower and their effects. Just tap the fourth icon on the left side of the main screen when you enter the Tower of Salvation to check it out.

1) Introducing the Artifact Blending Function:

3) Introducing Additional Artifacts

– The effects of the Artifact Combination Artifacts can be checked in the Artifact Codex.

1) Modifications:

When an artifact’s description is excessively lengthy and gets truncated, I find it helpful when a “Reveal More” or “Show More” button is included. By tapping this button, you can uncover the full details of the mysterious artifact!

3. Enhancements for Replaying Main Story Quests:

1) Introducing an Update to Adjust Replay Challenge Levels:

2) Fast Forward Option for Main Quest Replays
– We are introducing a feature that speeds up the completion of challenging Main Story Quests after they have been accepted.
– Once you’ve completed the Main Quest on Normal mode, a “Fast Forward” button will show up in the quest’s user interface. Pressing this button will display a Fast Forward screen as shown below.

Here’s a rundown of each quest you can review.

– For non-combat quests (e.g., moving to an inn), tapping the Auto-progress button will mark the quest as complete and grant the corresponding rewards immediately.
– For combat quests, tapping the combat button to engage in battle will mark the quest as complete and grant the corresponding rewards immediately.

4. Improvements to the Battle Screen
– Some UI elements within the Battle Screen will be improved.
1) Enhanced Swap Order Change Area

As a gamer, I’m excited to share that we’re going to introduce filters! These filters will enhance my gaming experience in the Fiend Hunter, Last Night, Battle Preparation sections, and even on the Home Screen. Specifically, for the Team Formation Screen in Fiend Hunter, I can expect a more tailored and enjoyable setup process with these new filters.

[Last Night – Participation Replacement Screen]

[Battle Preparation – Ally Replacement]

On the Home Screen, you won’t find a filter option for the main story scenes. However, filters will be available exclusively for skill scenes and character artwork.

5) Enhancements to Display Changes
– The DMG and Critical Hit labels for each monster will now be more prominent, positioned above attack effects, with a longer display time and larger font size. Additionally, Critical Hit text will be highlighted in red.
– Battle relay messages previously shown at the top center of the screen will no longer appear.

5. Elimination of Global Buffs
– To facilitate adaptable actions across different scenarios, we’ll be getting rid of the World Buff feature. Yet, within the Evil Castle, persistent buffs tailored to the Evil Castle will be granted for advanced tactics.
ㄴ In the Evil Castle, a permanent damage boost will apply to all attributes, eliminating the need for attribute switching.

7. Alterations to Update Timing: Some adjustments may impact the release dates of specific content.

Castle of Arrogance: Tower of Vanity

Title Revamp: Malefic Fortress: Beacon of Redemption

The Seasonal Event update taking place on November 14th will last for just one week. However, to make up for this short duration, rewards have been adjusted to provide enough for a two-week period, keeping the same acquisition rates as usual. Here’s the schedule: After the maintenance on November 14th ends and before the next maintenance which occurs prior to November 21st.

Starting on November 14th, the “Fiend Hunter” event during the Seasonal Update will be re-run for a week. This event will skip the practice phase and move straight into the hunting period. Due to an unforeseen issue, it will have the same specifications as its previous run. For more information, please check the initial announcement. The hunting period is scheduled from after the November 14th maintenance until November 20th, 2:59 PM (UTC).

After the maintenance conducted on October 31st, the rental period for the Collaboration Event Pack will expire, and the Fiend Hunter ranking statue in collaboration won’t be shown anymore.
