Bring the Blade!
An announcement has been made that Contingency Contract Season #2 [Operation Blade] will be coming in February! I'll go over some of the details from the CN version of the event, whose event page can be found here:
This will be the 3rd CC run for global, so most players have a pretty good idea what to expect. If this happens to be your first CC Event, you can get an explanation of how it works here:
Permanent Stage
The Permanent Stage this time around will star our good friend Faust, so prepare to take a beating from his high powered shots and turrets. We will also see a return of the Hateful Avengers (Red Katana Dudes) that gave us such a hard time in the first CC Preseason. Here are some of the Contracts that empower Faust and the Red Katana Dudes:
The full list of Contracts, maps, and Missions for the permanent stage can be found here:
Daily Stages
For the daily stages this time around, the Permanent Stage from CC#1[Operation Pyrite] will join the rotation, and the permanent stage from CC Preseason will leave the rotation (probably because all the Red Katana Dudes were needed for the new permanent stage)
Contracts, maps, and missions can be found for all daily stages here:
Event Stores And Farming Guide
These are the limited supply materials that will be available in the CC#2 Store:
The unlimited supply T3 items are:
Based on the amount of currency available and costs in the limited shops, the farming conclusion is this:
- There should be enough currency to clear the limited supply seasonal store and acquire Scene and her Potentials (mentioned below).
For a more detailed farming guide, efficiency values for items in the store, and full store details, see the following page:
The items of interest that will be added to the permanent store for CC#2 are:
- 5 Star Summoner Support Scene and her Potential Tokens. She is especially good for Integrated Strategies content, so players should budget for her.
- Bitter Herbs - a skin for 4 Star ST Medic [Myrrh]

New Operator Banner
When CC#2 ran on CN, the [Quicksand Vortex] banner featuring Chiave and Beeswax was run along with it. Since we have already received this banner, it is unknown if it will be replaced with something else, or if no feature banner will be run.
New Skins
Two new skins arrived on CN with CC Blade:
- [Coral Coast] series - Sunny Morning Dew SD01 - Nearl
- Cost: 18 OP
- [Coral Coast] series - Summer Flower FA008 - Rope
- Cost: 15 OP
New Furniture Theme
The 【Personnel Office】Theme was added as a new lucky drop, and the [Reimselar Ballroom] was removed from lucky drop and added to the store for purchase.
Medals
A new set of medals, of course, was added as well, with the new plated challenge medal being:
The medals are pretty much the same as the last CC, and can be found on the main event page or on the Path to Glory page:
