The cyberpunk ARPG Carbon has officially launched its first community challenge, Race to the Helipad, inviting players to compete in a high-speed run through the deadly Ruhan mining facility.
The event brings two ways to play:
- Softcore Mode offers a more forgiving run where players can respawn, refine their builds, and master the track.
- Hardcore Mode is a one-life gauntlet where every mistake is final and only the most precise runners reach the extraction point.
Each mode has its own leaderboard and unique rewards:
🏆 1st Place
Victory Player Frame
Victory Banner T3
Carbon T-Shirt
Coins
🥈 2nd Place
Victory Banner T2
Carbon T-Shirt
Coins
🥉 3rd Place
Victory Banner T1
Carbon T-Shirt
Coins
Softcore and Hardcore winners will receive different frames and banners, each styled to represent their mode.
Every participant who completes at least one valid run earns the exclusive Helipad Racer profile frame.
The Race to the Helipad event runs until November 20, 2025, at 17:00 CEST.
