The Special Equipment Exhibition Room is the new furniture set available with the event, obtainable from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7 to 1 September 2021, 03:59 UTC -7.

The Walter Interior Sensations furniture set will be added as a Lucky Drop from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7. This will replace the Rhodes Island HR Office furniture drops.

Players will be able to redeem a free ID Reset Card to change their in-game nickname from 18 August 2021, 10:00 UTC -7 to 1 October 2021, 03:59 UTC -7. You’ll be able to purchase more at a later date. Note that changing your in-game nickname will also change the digits attached to your name.

You can randomly match, invite or join another player in a co-op session across a variety of two-tiered maps. 2X speed will not be available in this mode, and watch out for ping.

The collaboration event can be considered a “true limited” one, as it’s too soon since its original CN run to tell if it’ll ever be rerun, so don’t miss out.
