A user named kadar_le_poet created a complex puzzle that, when solved, reportedly reveals the kit for the character Baylan Skoll. The puzzle's solution involves taking the last letter of each line, decrypting it with a Beaufort Variant of a Vigenere cipher using "Lebrock" as the autokey, and then capitalizing it correctly to form a link. MeatheadMilitia reacted with surprise, stating, "I can't believe you puzzled the kit."

The content creator was actively putting together a kit reveal. This occurred late in the day, suggesting preparation for an upcoming character's ability set announcement.

The content creator confirmed there will be no game update this week, nor will there be a kit reveal post for the character Baylan. The puzzle from last Friday was the last content release, and players are expected to be recovering from that.
