The Corp. Wars: Beyond event starts on April 16 and lasts till April 30! After the last standoff on the island, Pandora Inc. and Goliath Group still had many unresolved matters. On top of that, the artifact, obtained during the past encounter, sharpened the conflict even more. It turned out to be not a useless ancient rock, but a sophisticated communication device that was sending signals to Mars! Both Corps want answers, and one of them has already built a spaceport. Who’s going to reach the final frontier first? How will this play out?
Learn how the new conflict began in Pandora's secret diary and Goliath's leaked report.

A Hard Choice
Yes, the Corp Wars are back, and the confrontation between two major powers, Pandora and Goliath, promises to be even more intense. The event will last for 14 days and will be divided into two stages.
If you fought your way up to level 5, you can side with one of the dominant groups to win an absolutely stellar costume and a new gun, not to mention other fantastic items.
Influence
After you make your choice (remember, you can't change sides later in the game!), fight to increase the power of your corporation by engaging in battles and completing daily challenges. The influence indicator will show how good you’re doing. Your position in the daily ratings and event rating will earn you rewards.
Maps and Battles
You'll meet your opponents once again on the map, Island: Ruins to fight them in Team Elimination mode, with lives limited to 25 per team. Each respawn will cost your team one life, so don't be too reckless.
Other battles will happen on a brand new map, Launchpad: Pandora, and will be played in the classic Team Deathmatch mode.
New weapon: Bear Trap
Full-time shotgun, part-time booby-trap. The gun has a unique perk called the Jaw: once an enemy is eliminated, they spawn a trap, which stays on the ground for 12 seconds, waiting for the next enemy to walk into it. Upon touching, it activates, causing cutting damage to the enemy's health (1200 on max grade), and slows him down by 70% for 2.5 - 5 seconds, depending on the gun’s grade. If the poor chap walks into the second trap, it all starts anew. Yes, the gun is that savage. The effect can be removed with healing consumables.
Fairs
Fight in event battles, as well as classic fights, to earn event tokens and spend them at two fantastic fairs. The first one with the notorious Bear Trap opens at the start of Corp Wars, and will be available throughout the event.
The second one activates in week 2, and will feature a whole lot of top-notch equipment:
- Helmets: Paracelsus, Scorpion, Bulwark
- Pants: Cheetah, Mustang, Reanimator
- Vests: Corsair, Zero
Contracts
Just like with the daily challenges, the side you choose affects the contract challenges you get. Complete contracts for the Goliath Group and get a brutal portable battleship for a costume, or finish both contracts for Pandora Inc. and earn the minimalistic hi-tec costume that’d be equally suitable for cosmic warfare or space exploration.
Choose the corporation you want to fight for wisely; you won’t be able to switch sides after you enter the conflict. However, no matter what side you pick, a good time is guaranteed.
Good luck!
