ICYMI: The Heckbugs Have Returned To Trove Just In Time For The Season Of Love

When most people think of Valentine’s Day, they think of things like flowers and chocolate. When the Trove team thinks of it, it seems their mind goes immediately to bugs – specifically, Heckbugs. Once again, the critters have returned to the free-to-play voxel MMORPG, and it’s up to the players to deal with them.

In case you missed the notice, the annual Heckbug event is underway, and players have until February 17to participate. To get started in the Heckbugs in Love event, head to the Hub, where you’ll spot spaceships bringing H.E.C.K ambassadors. (If you’re wondering, the acronym stands for “Helpers of Exotic Creatures...for Karma!) The group is there to ask for assistance, and players can help out by talking with the leader, Hailey.

H.E.C.K wants to “preserve” the bugs, and players are able to help with this using treats, heated blankets, and other items. (I think the bugs are getting better treatment than the players.)

That said, players will also have to deal with the Heckbug Hunter, who isn’t exactly keen on the invasion.
