A new Danger Mission is available now for Spiral Knights — Compound 42!

Danger Missions are a class of Prestige Missions, denoted by a red skull icon next to the mission card: this means they are for skilled players, with a high degree of difficulty. They have greater risk — and greater rewards!

For this mission, the answer … is Compound 42. But what is the question?

WHAT is the mysterious bioweapons facility housed deep within the clockworks? WHO is the sinister member of the Crimson Overlord, identified only as “Herex”? CAN the intrepid Recon Rangers infiltrate and shut down the weapons facility before the deadly toxins are put to use?

Compound 42 is a new Danger Mission, intended for skilled players. It is available in the Prestige Mission section of the Mission interface.
