The season of romance is here once again!

Running from February 3 and active until February 17, the Heckbug event brings new adventures to pursue, rare material to collect, and new unique event rewards to obtain.

Players are initially sent to the Hub to catch a glimpse of new rogue spaceships that have arrived carrying H.E.C.K. (Helpers of Exotic Creatures…for Karma!) ambassadors. Interact with Hailey, the main H.E.C.K. honcho to learn how you can help the H.E.C.K cause!
While vicious and potentially deadly, Heckbugs are also cute and cuddly, known for luring players in with their deviously deceptive appearance. H.E.C.K.’s mission is to preserve these exotic creatures, with players employing the use of treats, heated blankets, and more items available in the various event areas. Meet with other H.E.C.K. ambassadors to help these cuddly bugs stay under control, out of harm’s way, and…mating?
However, not everything is love and roses when it comes to the Heckbugs. During the event questline, Trovians will meet up with a familiar face — the Heckbug Hunter, who’s returned to warn players of the true threat these dangerously darling creatures pose.
