Abyssal Proving Grounds – The 1v1 Battleship Showdown

2021-06-05 - By EVE Online Team

Crafty Capsuleers,

The latest Abyssal Proving Grounds event will be going live on 5 June, running for exactly 24 hours until June 6!

For the first time in the history of the Abyssal Proving Grounds, we will focus exclusively on the battleship, that essential backbone of any New Eden war fleet. This time, however, there will be no fleet – it’s a 1v1 duel to the death.

With the breadth and scope of the vessels available, the Battleship Showdown promises to be a true test of not only strategy and tactics, but cunning and creativity as well.

Limitations for this round are:

  • Ships limited to the Abaddon, Apocalypse, Armageddon, Raven, Rokh, Scorpion, Dominix, Hyperion, Megathron, Maelstrom, Tempest, Typhoon and Praxis
  • Modules limited to Meta Level 5 and below
  • No Frigates allowed in Frigate escape bay
  • Maximum of one local shield or armor repair module per ship

Proving Filaments will be required for entry, and as always, they can be found in Abyssal Deadspace loot or purchased from the in-game market.

Your battleship awaits -- outwit your opponents and blast your way up the Proving Grounds leaderboards!

Important Note: The 1v1 Battleship Showdown is a 24-hour event. Unlike most of our Proving Grounds events, which run from Friday until Tuesday, this one will run from downtime on Saturday 5 Jun until downtime on Sunday 6 Jun. Don’t miss out on the chance to earn bragging rights as the first ever Proving Grounds Battleship maestro!
