Prison Break

Overview

The Prison Break Event is a Zone Event in the Ziggurat neighborhood of Brickstown at coordinates (-1112.7, 0.0, 1152.5) that was added in Issue 24. The Probation Denied Badge and one of three Temporary Powers are awarded for completing it.

Description

Sergeant Homme

It's been a long time coming - the superpowered prisoners have finally broken out of the Zig! Heroes fight alongside the PPD as prisoners break out of Zigursky, followed up by a visit from Freakshow. Eventually the superpowered "Arches" emerge with their henchmen in one last attempt at sweet, sweet freedom. One of three temporary powers can be salvaged from the event - a Prisoner Sub-Machine Gun, a PPD Grenade Launcher, or a Freakshow Shotgun. These temporary powers can be owned at the same time and will expire after 20 hours of real time.
