Staff's Avatar by Staff

Plunderstorm has hit live servers, and it’s time to master this limited-time event! Whether you’re farming for the highest Plunder or aiming to win, these strategies will help you stay ahead of the competition.

Choose Your Drop Spot Wisely

When selecting a drop-off location at the beginning of the match, use the map to assess risk levels:

  • Green zones: Low-risk areas for avoiding PvP at the start.
  • Yellow zones: Moderate risk; prepare for occasional skirmishes.
  • Red zones: High PvP activity; not recommended for early-game survival.

Prioritize PvE Over PvP

Winning isn’t just about combat—longevity matters:

  • Target elites and epic chests: These grant the most XP and the best skills.
  • Avoid other players: If you spot one, retreat and stay hidden. Focus on collecting Utility spells that increase your mobility to escape danger faster.
  • Play the edge: Stick to the storm’s outskirts, avoiding the central chaos.

The Bush Strategy

Winning Plunderstorms can be as simple as stealthily hiding in the bushes, but what’s the secret behind this unusual strategy?

When you reach the final safe zone, look for a bush to hide in and watch as the last two players battle it out. Once one of them is eliminated, the winner is usually low on health and has their skills on cooldown. That’s your moment to strike with a surprise attack. If you’re lucky, the storm might even finish them off for you, saving you the trouble!

Hopefully, these tips will help you survive longer and collect Plunder efficiently!
