📋 THEMATIC OVERVIEW
🎮 EVENT TRANSITIONS — MARCH 31 RESET INCOMING 🎮
Tuesday March 31st is a significant event transition day across the SHD network, with two major updates hitting around the daily projects reset. The Assault Event reaches its absolute final hours today — once the reset triggers, it is gone with no extension. At the same time, Agents grinding Expertise levels have received a welcome reprieve: the Expertise Surge event has been officially extended and will now run until Thursday, April 2nd after the daily projects reset. With Year 8 Season 1 — Rise Up also launching Thursday, today is a critical day for planning your final pre-season grind.
🔶 ASSAULT EVENT — ENDING TODAY
The Assault Event closes today, March 31st, after the daily projects reset. This is the hard deadline — there are no extensions and no second chances. Agents who still have Stars to earn need to prioritize their Assault runs as early as possible today before the reset window closes. Once it ends, any unearned Stars and unclaimed rewards are gone for this cycle.
• 🗓️ Ends: March 31, 2026 — after daily projects reset
• ⚠️ No extensions — this is the final window
• 💪 Prioritise Assault runs early today before the reset hits
🔶 EXPERTISE SURGE — EXTENDED TO THURSDAY
Good news for Agents still working through their Expertise upgrades — the Expertise Surge event has received an official extension and will now run through Thursday, April 2nd after the daily projects reset. This additional window gives the community more time to push Expertise levels at the boosted rate before Rise Up goes live. Use this time wisely.
• 🗓️ Now ends: Thursday, April 2, 2026 — after daily projects reset
• 📈 Boosted Expertise progression still active — keep grinding
• ⚔️ Extra days to push upgrades before the new season launches
🔶 PRO TIP — HOLD YOUR MATERIALS UNTIL THURSDAY
This is critical intel for every Agent planning Expertise upgrades. Year 8 Season 1 — Rise Up launches Thursday, April 2nd and brings with it a significant reduction in Expertise upgrade costs. Exotic component costs are being cut by 50% and other upgrade materials will see a 20% reduction. Agents who wait until Thursday to spend will get dramatically more value out of every upgrade. Do not spend exotic components on Expertise before Rise Up goes live.
• 💡 Exotic component Expertise cost: -50% at Rise Up launch
• 💡 Other upgrade materials: -20% at Rise Up launch
• ⏳ Hold your materials — Thursday savings are significant
🔶 WHAT’S NEXT — RISE UP THURSDAY
Year 8 Season 1 — Rise Up launches Thursday, April 2nd. The Expertise Surge ends the same day after the daily projects reset, so Thursday is the day to spend your materials at the reduced cost and step into the new season with fully upgraded gear. Plan accordingly, Agents.
• 🗓️ Rise Up Launch: Thursday, April 2, 2026
• 🔁 Expertise Surge ends same day after reset
• 🔥 Spend your saved materials Thursday at reduced cost
🔶 WEEKLY REMINDER
⏰ Assault Event ends TODAY after the daily projects reset — get your final runs in now. Expertise Surge runs until Thursday April 2nd. Rise Up launches Thursday — hold Expertise materials until then for maximum value.
🛰️ SHD PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Tuesday March 31st 2026 is a major event transition day with the Assault Event ending permanently after the daily projects reset giving Agents one final window to earn remaining Stars before the event closes with no extensions while the Expertise Surge event has been officially extended and will now run until Thursday April 2nd after the daily projects reset providing additional grinding time ahead of Year 8 Season 1 Rise Up which also launches Thursday April 2nd and critically brings a 50% reduction in exotic component Expertise upgrade costs and a 20% reduction across other upgrade materials meaning Agents who hold their materials and spend on Thursday will get dramatically more value from every upgrade made compared to spending before the update goes live so the recommended play today is to finish Assault runs immediately lock in Stars before the reset and then continue pushing Expertise levels through the extended Surge window while saving all exotic components until Rise Up launches Thursday.
