Dark Matter Arkfalls

The game Defiance by Trion Worlds is going strong and the latest update is bringing in some heavy challenges for the tough Ark Hunters. For those not familiar with the game yet, Defiance is both an MMO game and a TV series currently awaiting Season 2 release on SyFy. In the game you have a free open world with quests, story and free objectives like in GTA IV. These free objectives are small encounters such as road blocks, village and work plant raids and of course the big "cheese" - Arkfalls!The Arkfalls so far have been pretty straight forward - Tune in to the local "gossip" (open Map menu) and wait for an event, then set your GPS and head on over there - If you are lucky to get there in time you get to fight "monsters" falling out of the sky and by doing this you earn money, fame and glory. These encounters were not very difficult, but now
