Hunter Sponsorship
Families begin buying increasingly powerful, recipient-locked weapons and armor for hunters stranded by the AI.
Story so far
As the AI refuses hunter release, recap messaging promises that help is coming. Katia infers that families are now permitted to sponsor trapped participants. New equipment includes pulse rifles, electric or magical plate armor, and anti-air guns tailored against the leading crawler threats.
Most hunters remain level 50 even as their equipment improves. Recipient locks prevent captured items from being equipped by others, limiting direct loot value. Families may be bankrupting themselves to prolong lives in a season whose spending flows toward Borant.
