New World just launched its Public Test Server on January 6, and while it has a pretty limited capacity, it’s still a place for players to check out future content for the MMO. First up on the PTR is a Mutator system, which significantly raises the challenge of Expeditions.
In this testing phase, Mutators will rotate every 48 hours between three Expeditions: Dynasty Shipyard, Garden of Genesis, and Lazarus Instrumentality. Players are encouraged to double-check the Recommended Gear Score of each Expedition before embarking, as it’s especially important with the increased difficulty. We can help you increase your Armoring level if you need to craft some better stuff.
