The Siege

The Siege is phase 1 of the event, requiring players to break down defensive barriers. Random spawn will pop up when walking close to the barrier.

The goal is to break down the barriers utilizing crafted items.

You will require about 5 Barrel's of Explosives (4 for the front blockades and 1 for the back blockade), about 5 Siege Deployment Kits and 11 to 15 Siege Ammunition Kits.
