Updated

Does Wildgate support cross-play?

Yes! You can play and keep progression across platforms, as well as any in-game purchases. Just make sure that if you decide to purchase Wildgate on multiple platforms that you tie your accounts to a Dreamhaven account.

How do I win?

How do I unlock new Prospectors and other loadout items?

You unlock new Prospectors and loadout items by progressing through Adventure tracks.

You can view and activate Adventure tracks from the Rewards menu in-game.

After you’ve selected the Adventure track, play games to unlock rewards. Once you’ve unlocked your Prospector, visit the Loadout tab to select them. 

How do I equip/unequip items to my loadout?

Navigate the Loadout menu from the navigation bar in-game then select one of the loadout options:

  • Prospector
  • Weapon 1, Weapon 2
  • Equipment 1, Equipment 2

After selecting, you’ll be taken to a selection screen where you can double-click to select or single-click and then equip via the “equip” button on the bottom right of the screen.

What is the purpose of Shield Up/Down? How do I increase ship speed?

Taking your shields down will result in increased flight speed for your ship. Speed will increase gradually over time until you reach max. This can be useful for reaching different locations faster while out of combat. 

Can prospector guns blast open ship windows?

No. While ship windows can be destroyed, this needs to be done with items such as ship turrets, drill charges, etc.

How do I trigger "Void Racer" in the Lucky Docks?

Once you load in, grab a void turbine and look for the gates in the lower section of the docks. Flying through a gate will cause it to light up for 3 seconds. Going through the next gate will refresh the 3-second timer on all active gates. You must get through each gate while all gates are active to win. Only one person can complete this at a time! 

When does the Artifact get discovered for opponents?

There are three ways in which the artifact will appear on the map:

  • When a player touches it
  • When a team scans the POI that it is contained in
  • When the Wildgate opens
