Hail, knights!

The cosmos briefly swings into balance--just in time for you to take on a new challenge! First, Spiral HQ is upping the challenge this weekend for this Hardcore Lockdown Event.  Please expect the following changes this weekend:

- **New Map:  Icebox**.  This is a freeze themed level with some knight-controllable traps.  This map will still be available after the event is over, but will be seen fairly often for a while.

- Auto-Target is off.

- Control points now have even more obstacles that will cause both teams a number of problems.  Some of these problems will be more insurmountable than others.

- Bug Fix: Orbital hazards now deal their proper status effects.

To mark this occasion, the Strangers have brought forth celestially-themed offerings in the **Spring Equinox Prize Box**, available to you through **March 24th, 2017**:

- Celestial Vortex

- [Celestial Saber](http://gifyu.com/images/sparklesword01.gif)

- Orbit Aura

- Celestial Nav Helm and Suit

- Galactic Guardian Helm and Vest

- Solar and Cosmic Plasma Wings

- Celestial Dragon/Valkyrie Wings

- Celestial Accessories

- Unique Variant Tickets
