Welcome to the Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K.

Ever since M.O.D.O.K. established his Hotel, he’s been working tirelessly on his experimental Champions. But the Hotel is no place for his creations to live, so he’s been sending them off to a secret secluded island to run free.

Now the time has come for M.O.D.O.K. to harvest the fruits of his labor, and it’s up to the Summoner to drop in and collect some samples for M.O.D.O.K. to study!

Collect Samples and get Gold Coins!

Every day, you’ll receive a Sample Collector from a Special Log In Calendar and use them to enter Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K. Quests! Choose one of 6 class related paths, each with 6 fights (plus the Boss). Complete the Quest, to earn Crystal Shards, Gold, and special Gold Coins that can be spent in the M.O.D.O.K. Hotel Store!

These Quests feature no energy costs, and you can use multiple Sample Collectors to enter it as many times as you want, though you only get one per day. This means that you can do all Quests for the month in one day, as long as you log in and collect the Sample Collector every day.

Like past “Lab” events, each of the fights will draw a pool of 1-3 randomized buffs (based on the difficulty). You can use a Buff Randomizer item (available in the store) to change the set of Buffs. If there is a particular Buff that you think could be trouble, you can use a brand new Buff Deleter to remove it. Don’t be too hasty to remove a Buff though! Buff Deleters can only be purchased for Gold Coins in the M.O.D.O.K. Hotel Store.

Remember to update to version 27.2 before 4 pm PT on June 2nd to ensure you do not miss out on the first day of the Sample Collector Calendar!

Rewards

For each Quest completion, you will earn:

Class Use Solo Events

Doctor M.O.D.O.K. challenges you to use certain classes on certain days. Win fights with a specific Champion of the day to earn bonus points, and earn even more points by using the class of the day in the Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K. quests! There won’t be any Rank Rewards, but you’ll earn more Gold Coins to spend in the Hotel M.O.D.O.K. Store by completing the Milestones!

M.O.D.O.K. needs his beauty sleep and will not provide a Class Use event on Sundays.

M.O.D.O.K. Contracts

13 Special Objectives will appear at random times throughout the month! Complete these “Contracts” by finding and defeating the Champions listed on the Special Objective, and collect even more Gold Coins as a reward. These could appear at any time, so keep an eye on your Special Objectives!

Hotel M.O.D.O.K. Store

Similar to the Squirrel Store, you’ll be able to select the rewards you would like to purchase. However, this time, you will not be able to purchase everything in the Store! There will be 3024 Gold Coins available throughout the event (completing Epic Difficulty of the Island of Doctor M.O.D.O.K. every time, and the Veteran Solo Events), so choose wisely!

Remember! This event starts on June 3rd! Make sure you update to version 27.1 before 4 pm PT on June 2ndto ensure you do not miss out on the first day of the Sample Collector Calendar!

Can someone upload a video on the event? Is this possible with 5* r3 champs?

not likely in epic without a real good deal of skill

Triptic

Certainly harder than May, but nothing insane.

The attack values are pretty ridiculous. If you have a look at act 6.1.6 and the attack values there and compare it to this difficulty, some fights can be about 4-5k higher depending on the champs then champions are in 6.1.6. I expect the boss to be at 11k attack value but not nodes 2 fights in.

Maybe I’m wrong and this content isn’t designed for cavalier players but clearing 6.1 and unlocking epic on the monthly EQ would mean you could tackle epic side quests as well.

Thanks_D19

@UmbertoDelRio yeah you do have a point, this event is probably one of if not the hardest event I have ever seen so it would make sense to have a Premium reward like a r5 gem for like, most of your gold

Gercas

Kabam simply drop the ball this month if I got bored of the rifts I can’t imagine enjoying this side quest with those rewards. By the second week it’ll be tedious and probably I’ll skip it by the half of the month

I think the issue is the difficulty compared to the rewards. For this type of effort daily a generic sig stone should be given per run and more 6 star shards. Everything else has little that can help my account at this point.

TheHeroDeserved

Considering the rewards and difficulty of the paths, this quest is going to feel likegoing to work for a mediocre paycheck.

getting anywhere close to the difficulty to rewards balance of the red rifts is going to be hard for Kabam (they were great). but this just takes the cake. too hard for most recently uncollected players with less developed rosters or less skill/experience of the more endgame players

Destroy4589

The rewards are rubbish lol. These rewards would be good 2 years ago

It’s even worse when you try it. The difficulty is crazy

For 0 energy cost... You're complaining that you have to do a little work for some rewards?

Some people enjoy having difficulty. Some people don't even find the epic lab difficult.

Kabam is never going to please everyone in the game. And especially not on an individual basis.

Demonzfyre

No resources used. Only 3 nodes compared to 6 last time. 6 paths to choose from. Easily peasy.

It's not hard. It really wasn't.

What boss did you get(and nodes)

ILLUSION8

but compared to more recent side events this is much harder, i get that its easier than the last set of labs but thats not the point being made. also you must be a much more experienced player who has no issue with the nodes. the difficulty increase for others is quite dramatic

ItsDamien

I think the difficulty is bad in general. I’ve seen nightcrawlers, hot monkeys and tigras. No one knows how to fight those characters this early in(especially them being buffed up)(like biohazard)
And night crawler is just annoying

You know you could have waited to enter. You didn't have to go in immediately. You could have waited a week. Its not like you're limited to how many times you can enter a day, except for how many entry tickets you have. If you have 5 tickets, you can enter 5 times that day. If you have all 30 tickets, you can enter 30 times in one day.

Why rush into something knowing that we have new champs coming in that no one knows how to properly fight yet, unless you're prepared to deal with bad nodes and have to use revives.

Notsavage19

It's literally not that bad.

I got a Darkhwak with Masochism and Oscillate.

Same nodes but with Gulk for me.

lowlevelplayer

I guess I'm going to go into epic with my kinda underdeveloped looking roster and pray I don't get hit monkey, nightcrawler, or tigra bosses. I haven't even seen hit monkeys special attacks before lol

With all that being said.... it doesn’t change the difficulty level. Most people don’t have time to do it all in one day. Bosses like night crawler, modok, korg etc. is fine because they are older champions. Plus the black widow and red guardian for last month was no where near as hard

Notsavage19

Exactly. It's nothing to complain about. If you're complaining about this, wait until you get to Act 6.

What boss did you get(and nodes)

Boss VTD. 2 nodes- Soft Guard and Oscillate. Died twice due to getting clipped on his SP1 but only because his attack rating was almost 10k but I was able to finish him off easily.

I took the Skill path and it was various different nodes. I even went in blind on Ronin and it was freezer burn but didn't really effect me that much. Just didn't dash back. No resources used at all and no energy costs.

This labs event is by far easier than the previous ones.

Okay, but you didn't have to just rush in. Also, it shouldn't take you more that 1 fight to figure out how a champion works.

Panda504337

Ok, that’s the difference. The path wasn’t hard. But I got a hit monkey as a boss. Plus I tried to re roll his buffs and got the same ones 4 times

The point was you don't have to rush into content blindly then complain. You could have waited a day and done two runs when you knew how to counter the new champs.

It wasn't honestly. It's on par with them. No energy use and you can re-roll nodes and even delete them now too. If they are too much, do the lower difficulty. There wasn't anything on the one I just did that anyone couldn't handle.
