🚨 EVENT DETAILS & ACTIVATION

📦 NEW CACHE SYSTEM
Two new cache types introduced:
1️⃣ Rankup Cache – Standard tier rewards throughout the loop
2️⃣ Prestige Rankup Cache – Appears at Tier 10 (final reward before loop resets) with massively increased drop rates
Both caches contain guaranteed seasonal items and crafting materials. The key difference is in drop rates for vanity, named items, and exotics.

Regulus (Raid exclusive – Operation Iron Horse)
Eagle Bearer (Raid exclusive – Operation Dark Hours)

🔥 WHY THIS EVENT IS A GAME-CHANGER
The Pressure Release Valve: The Rank Up Event redirects your post-Tier 100 progression into a guaranteed system of repeatable reward loops. Instead of hitting a wall at Tier 100, you can continue farming the rarest items in the game without completing the hardest activities.
Key Benefits:

Solo-Friendly: Complete through solo activities like Summit and open-world farms
Double XP Week: First week provides 2x progression speed
No Premium Cost: Completely free after Tier 100
