I saw this one today, not sure if it's been added with this update or it's just a rare one I've never seen before. Was fun, involved a lot of zigzagging.
New Clockworks Rooms?
I don't have records of course, but I've seen that room many times over multiple years. Probably it has been in the game since launch.
Anyway, seeing a room that you haven't seen yet is always a pleasure, right? :)
Never seen that one...
Still, I saw a room that had treasure chests that even I couldn't get (probably the hardest puzzle I faced; possibly needed the use of a bomb). Never saw it again. I was hunting down the Darkfang Shield in the Prestige Mission Hazardous Heist when it popped up.
There are multiple variations of this room.
1 with gates, buttons, and switches [shown in OP linked image]
1 with crystal breakable blocks
1 with buttons only
As well as any that I may be forgetting.
Darkfang Shield hunting? Good luck next 1000 years...
@OP
It's very likely that new rooms are added without patch notes, I often encounter several new rooms after the game has updated. But this one is definitely not new, I have seen it several times with the 3 different versions Skeptic said.
I thought that DFS drops only at arcade. Am I wrong ?
Shadow-Anubis: Considering that I already found a Thwack Hammer in Hazardous Heist and Darkfang Shield has the same drop rate as any other piece of equipment, it can drop anywhere just like any piece of equipment. I've made a theory that says how equipment is related to the level they're found in, and OOO manually puts the Darkfang Shield inside of certain levels to be found.
Darkfang Shield has been found in an Iron Edge Arena: Wrench Warfare (T3 Gremlin), Operation: Crimson Hammer (T3), Clockwork Tunnels Gremlin Grounds(T3), and Deconstruction Zones. One has been rumored to have been found in Firestorm Citadel (Much more rare than finding them in Gremlin levels).
On my character, I found 2 equipment drops.
A 2* Crystal Bomb in August 2014
And a 1* Thwack Hammer in September 2014.
The last couple of weeks, players found equipment.
This is one of the basic puzzle rooms that can spawn. There's a similar one with colored crystals instead of spikes that requires a different kind of zig-zag.
