HV-MTL Forge, a new strategy game from Yuga Labs, has unveiled its latest update, Season 6, adding a notable twist to the gameplay with the introduction of Rift Boss. Players now have the chance to test their skills in a high-stakes battle for ApeCoins.
In this season, players can activate the 'Rift Boss' mode before embarking on their expeditions. Once engaged, they must venture deep into the Rift, where they will face the formidable creature. To weaken the boss, players must locate and break the Seals across the map. Each victorious match will result in the acquisition of Shards, which determines a player's standing on the leaderboard. Efficiency is key, as defeating the boss in fewer turns will result in more Shards. If defeated, players will return with only half of the items in their battle bag.
However, the most exciting part is the chance for players to earn ApeCoins. As the season progresses, the top 1,000 players on the leaderboard will receive payouts in $APE, providing ample motivation to climb the ranks. In addition, players will receive a power score based on their final placement, which serves as an ongoing data point for future releases.
It should be noted that Season 5 brought a new feature to HV-MTL: the opportunity for players to earn votes by completing missions. Completing all tasks will result in the acquisition of passive votes, which can be used to generate energy and unlock rewards.
HV-MTL (pronounced Heavy Metal) is an integral part of the Bored Ape universe, which begins as a pet ownership and base-building game. Players develop their Forge to generate energy and keep their HV mechs content. Once their Forge is fully developed, players can harness energy to explore the mysterious Rift, gather resources, and craft augments to boost the power of HV mechs.
To play this game, you must hold an HV-MTL NFT, which can be acquired from OpenSea. The game also offers a delegation system that allows HV-MTL owners to designate others to enter the Forge.
