TRANSMISSION INCOMING

Citizens of Neocron, the electromagnetic frequencies are humming with an unusual signal. From deep within the contaminated wastelands beyond Dome of York, an enigmatic entity known only as the EasterBunny has initiated a rare celebration protocol.

This is no ordinary holiday—it's a convergence of ancient pre-War traditions and cutting-edge neon-noir festivities. For one long weekend, the fractured remnants of humanity will witness a spectacular fusion of commerce, mutation, and digital treasure.

PROTOCOL OVERVIEW

The EasterBunny's intervention promises substantial rewards across multiple systems and skill categories. Whether you're a hardened Runner pursuing faster Synaptic Impairment recovery,   a skilled trader optimizing your portfolio, or a collector hunting rare artifacts, this event has been architected to offer something to everyone.

ACTIVATION SCHEDULE: FRIDAY—MONDAY

FRIDAY: NEURAL ACCELERATION

Synaptic Impairment Acceleration:

• Neural pathways fire faster. Synaptic Impairment gains are amplified.

Sympathy Surge:

• All missions yield dramatically increased Sympathy gains, accelerating faction rep for those seeking to rise in the eyes of Neocron's power brokers.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY: THE HUNT AWAKENS

Dynamic Eggs Activated:

• Shimmering digital constructs begin manifesting across Neocron's sectors and the hostile wastelands. Hunt these Dynamic Eggs for substantial rewards and the chance to unlock rare items. The hunt persists through Monday.

XP Amplification:

• All experience gains are doubled, whether you're grinding hostile mobs or crafting at your workbench.

Extra Safe Slots:

• Your quickbelt gains one additional safe slot.

SATURDAY ONLY: STATIC EGG HUNT

The EasterBunny's Gift:

• Hidden throughout the urban sprawl and toxic badlands are Static Eggs—immobile caches containing pre-selected items of genuine value. This hunt is a race against time and your fellow Runners. Only Saturday evening will reveal their locations.

MONDAY: THE FINAL SURGE

Extended Slot chance when crafting & Sympathy:

• Extra high chance to get slots when crafting, and Sympathy gains continue to flow—ideal for wrapping up those faction grinds.

Trade-Skill Bonus (2x XP):

• For the artisans and industrialists among you—Traders and crafters receive a focused 2x XP multiplier on Monday only, allowing you to accelerate your production capabilities before the event window closes.

Dynamic Eggs Persist:

• The shimmering constructs remain active through Monday's close, giving stragglers a final opportunity to capitalize.

NCPD Operation: Head of the Hydra

Greetings runner,

Time is short. The City Admin traitor has revealed everything. 

We now know the identity of the mastermind running the entire Shadow Organisation.

Turns out, this conspiracy goes far higher than we could ever have imagined.

It is time to shut down their operation for good. We will be moving against the head of the organisation in one final all or nothing gambit.

I can not reveal more here,  even though this line should be completely secure, I am trusting nothing at this time.

Meet me at the NCPD HQ. Bring plenty of ammunition and supplies. I have no idea how heavy the resistance will be, but best to prepare for the worst.

For Reza, For Neocron!

NCPD Operation: Shadows in the Light

Greetings runner.

Following the complete dismantling of the unsanctioned narcotics production and supply factory, it is crucial we do not rest idle.

It is now the moment to put an end to the remaining threats posed by the combined forces of the Black Dragon and Tsunami splinter group.

This is a call to action for everyone to unite and ensure that we eradicate this menace once and for all.

The NCPD intel division has successfully uncovered the location of their final strongholds.

We would greatly appreciate your unique skills once more for this task. Your expertise has been invaluable on this case.

Make sure to pack your standard array of weapons along with ample ammunition to ensure you are prepared for a prolonged operation.

It's essential to be well equipped for any situation that may arise.

Meet me at the restaurant located in the Pepper Park subway station for the pre mission briefing. NCPD Commando

Greetings runner. We have a lead on Echelon.

After the recent attack on Neocron, all available resources were mobilised for our use.

Fortunately, President Reza and City Admin did not underestimate the threat that Echelon represents.

All intelligence units and stratcom data have been directed toward the crucial task of locating this menace.

And we have had a breakthrough.

We are taking the fight back to Echelon and will be making it regret its own existence.

It may be rebuilding its forces as we speak.

Or worse, there is a possibility that the forces that attacked us represented only a fraction of what Echelon has in reserve.

We are not waiting to find out.

Meet me at the Twister Club in Sector I-09.

From there, once our forces are assembled, I will be going over the operation briefing.

Bring your usual arsenal of weaponry and any armed vehicles for this one.

For Reza, For Neocron!

CITY WIDE ALERT - PRIORITY ULTIMATE

Attention all runners.

NCPD orbital scans have identified an immense concentration of mechanized signatures in the desolate wastelands north of the city.

The force looks to consist of heavy warbot units supported by cyborg troop elements.

Data analysis and plot projection predicts that they are heading directly toward the entrance gates in sector A-08.

This is an urgent call for the complete mobilization of all armed forces that can respond to this message.

Prepare to repel this enemy with all destructive firepower available. The use of extreme force is fully authorised.

All non combat citizens are to take refuge in their designated survival vaults.

Meet the defence commander at city exit at the designated time for mission brief. Failure is not an option!

For Reza, For Neocron!

Dear community,

We have always felt there is too much-unused potential in our community and concluded that we have to make use of it!
We know not everyone can contribute on a regular basis but can spare the time to craft a one-off piece of wonderment.

Therefore, we have decided it is time for another asset contest!

Aim of the contest?
New Assets!

Create a new asset which would fit into the Neocron world. A box, a picture, Event items etc. or restore an existing asset in High Definition.

Whether you use a Spec/Gloss or Metal/Roughness workflow is up to you, as long as you orient yourself on PBR guidelines for a naturalistic/realistic look.

Making Engine-ready assets:

All assets need to conform to specific standards to work with Neocron's deprecated engine:

• All assets will need to go through a special converter tool later, this tool only reads certain formats (.FBX binary works perfectly). Assets need to be in a metric scale.
• Neocron does not yet support state of the art dynamic lighting, all textures need to be prepared as Unlit with baked environmental lighting. That means all information is baked static into a single diffuse map. A lossless diffuse map in .PNG is fine. Do not bake strong directional lights or reflections.

Polygon Budget:
Up to 5k, with appropriate LoD's. LoD's must have the format: meshName_LOD0.
Texture-size: 1024px/m. Maximum texture size is 2048px.

Tools:
Any tool you feel comfortable with and that can output .PNG, .DDS or .BMP and .FBX files
Your .FBX file must contain a non-triangulated original mesh to have options for changes.

The prizes?
Every asset which we decide to include in one of the upcoming patches will be awarded the following:

• The honour of your asset being published in Neocron -> your name will be put in stone in the patch-notes!
• A trophy* of your choice for one of your characters on Titan.

* Your choice of trophy excludes CopBot Trophies as well as Bronze, Silver and Gold Cups.


Get started and we look forward to reviewing the entries! To give you time to get your entry perfected, you have until Friday 1st of August 2025 to craft and submit your entry.
Send your entry via E-Mail to xanthos@neocron-game.com with the subject "Asset Contest".


Good luck!
Your Neocron Support Team
