    [​IMG]
    The Guardians of Rumble Fighter may have rid of the chaos of Rumble Fighter, but the council has put up bounties of the areas in order to maintain order.
    A bounty has it's expiration, so a new bounty is provided each week.

    Event Details:
    • The duration of each <Boss of the Week> session resets on Monday 00:00 Server Time.
      • During the trial test period, Boss of the Week sessions will start and end at the designated time window stated below.
    • There will be no in-game counter for this event at this time.
    • [Update 8/18/2026] Boss mode clear counts will not be counted in solo play.
      • Play counts will only be counted in 2 and 3 player rooms, starting from 8/18/2026 17:00 PT.
      • For players that completed play counts in 4+ players before this change, progress will remain unaffected.
    • If a player disconnects, the play count may not count even when cleared. Players are strongly advised to remain connected until the final scoreboard is displayed.
    • The game's internal clock will be the official timekeeping device used.
    • Each week, a new boss will be placed on bounty. If players clear the designated Boss Mode stage a number of times, rewards will be given for their efforts.
      • During the trial test period, Boss of the Week sessions will be every 2 weeks.
    • Only Boss Mode (Adventure Mode) will be counted towards this event's progress.
      • The bounty will be counted for all difficulties of the Boss Mode stage.
        • For example, clear count for Al Hata will be counted for both Normal & Hard mode.
    • Boss clear count will only be counted as 1 when the final scoreboard states that the stage is cleared. If the scoreboard says "FAIL", the clear count won't be registered.
      • In Vladimir's Castle, the clear count will only be increased after completing all Abandoned Graveyard, Phantasmal Room & Chapel.
      • If the stage is cleared but scoreboard still says FAIL, it will not be counted properly.
    • Clear count will not be counted in the following scenarios (experimental):
      • The player disconnects while the game is in progress or is loading.
      • The player or team has zero or negative points in the final scoreboard after the Boss is cleared.
      • The player or team has not defeated any enemies.
      • The player or team has not moved.
        • Detection is experimental. There may be inaccuracies in detection.
    • Please note that abuse of the Boss Mode system may result in penalties, up to a permanent ban.
    =========================​
    • In an effort to be more transparent, some example forms of abuse are named below. Please note that this is not a complete, full list. If you have questions on what could be treated as abuse, please make your inquiry with our team via support ticket or Discord.
      • Utilizing god mode, or taking advantage of a flaw that enables a player(s) not to be hit by boss, stage or mob mechanics
      • Players that deplete the boss's HP too quickly
      • Players that revive in-game but no Soulstone or Verda's Coin is consumed.
      • Hacking or third-party software
        • Please note that unless there is prior confirmation of your inquiry of potentially other forms of abuse is given, you may be penalized for such abuse infraction(s) before the confirmation was given, up to a permanent ban.
    =========================

    Prizes look like they're accumulative, so if you do all 60 of the clears, you're going to end up with some crazy good value for just running 2 BMs a bunch of times within 2 weeks. Honestly a pretty cool event. :D

    Here's some tips on making sure your runs count / go well:
    - Make sure your teammates are ALL alive by the end of the level, and with enough health to stay alive in the case of DH08 ever being used; that electric fence can kill a teammate even after the boss is dead. Having a teammate dead at the end of the BM can cause a "FAIL" state, making that run not count.
    - The rules as of 8/18/2026 at about 2AM CST do not mention whether or not you have to do these BMs in multiplayer. So, if you're just unlucky and can't find anyone to BM with you, then you can still run the BMs solo and they'll count. (Will update this if the rule changes.) [Edit] The rule's been updated, so unfortunately you can't run the BMs solo and it count. You can run them solo to practice dodging / blocking the boss's moves and whatnot, but that's about it. Going to need to find one or more friends to knock these BMs out. I wish the EU Players good luck and hope y'all can manage to run these.
    - If they do ever use Vladimir's Castle, I recommend relogging between each run, or every other run, since the 3rd stage has a habit of disconnecting players when they've been on for a while. (I wouldn't be surprised if there's a memory leak in that stage or something.) I believe that DC issue happens more often in the harder difficulties of that map, too, so perhaps stick with Normal Mode for the best experience.
    - If you're a new or returning player, remember that you can use 100 medals in the medal shop to rent a 1 day version of the Devil Shadow exocore if you didn't get it from the Beginner Exocore Box from level 11. Then be sure to use some carats to grab the highest SP carat clothes you can find, like the Anubis helmet (+60sp). I think the highest I've had my SP with a full carat set was around 450 - 500, but it was on Elementalist and the STR value was around like 19 or 20. I'd have to double check to see what the totals were exactly.

    What effort? Run them on Normal, use Devil Shadow and your choice of DPS Exocore (Relentless Mace, Staff of Baum, etc.) and use an SP + Luc set. You'll get extra boxes (30+ at 60 carats each, and 30+ at 50 Carats each, respectively) and make off with a bunch of useful items for BMs and another 13k carats. Just make sure you or your friend are using a scroll with a >>G grab like Liberty or Muay Boran so you can easily get free'd from Sejul's command grab super.

    keep in mind that : if you clear the boss , but it says "fail" it wont count . if i remember good , this happened very often and sometimes it happened like whole day to me , when i was boss moding.
    BM events should not exist at this state of the game . maybe if BM store would be updated and new items that are useful would be introduced there , but now ? 20 players online and you think that everyone will hop on boring BM's just to clear it and it to say fail over and over again , and for what ? a bit of carats and couple orchi stones ? such event would be good at release of RF on Redfox , but not at "end game" where almost everyone has a good account. Redfox never made any "FUN" event anyway.

    instead of making such events , they could put their team to work and make daily in game events for 1 random item from store for rc . like locked room with pass that is answer to some riddle or something . when room gets full , they play 1 game and everyone earns this prize ( like it was on OGP) they have 20 people to manage , they could do such events to make people hop on the game . we all know it would be "too much work" for them and then another month to distribute all prizes

    How exactly is this measured? What is the threshold? "Too quickly" is a nebulous term that can be changed or redefined whenever you want.

    Like if you have 4 or 6 players with high Strength and Crit combined with Shaolin Crane BF LE, and they slaughter a boss in a short time, is that abuse?

    Precisely, this will be detected when one player nukes the boss, basically utilizing damage hack. We will be able to see how many players are with you while completing the Boss Mode stage.

    This event will be implemented in-game in the future once the developer completes it's development and will be fully automated when it's implemented.

    Hi Fang, thanks for the update

    for this update:
    • Play counts will only be counted in 2 and 3 player rooms.
    What about the runs that we did with 4 players before this updated announcements were made? would those count? or do we have to start over?

    I said this on the discord and I'll say it here:

    What is this nonsense about only 2-3 player rooms being valid for the BM run count? This is actually ridiculous and, for me personally, it's a disrespectful slap across my face because this technically means NOT A SINGLE run of mine actually counted towards the event, especially after I just spent an ENTIRE afternoon on it.

    That said, I would like to strongly suggest RedFox to consider this very carefully and show some level of transparency about this. All the runs everyone did PRIOR to this updated 2-3 player room rule MUST be counted towards the event because at the time, NOBODY knew about this rule which was implemented only after all those runs were done. And this also includes my own because I managed to do all 30 Sejul and Locke runs before this rule was even a thing.

    Tbh, I think it might be because they found a technical limitation, or had some other reason to change it to 2-3 players. Im sure it was an oversight to not account for the players that already did 4 man runs earlier today, and wasnt an ill intention to disregard everyone that had ran the BM with 4 players earlier today.

    Proposed solution to Redfox:
    • Since this 2-3 player room rule was introduced later in the day, there are probably some players that already ran 4 man bm runs earlier today.
    • So my proposal is that we should allow 4 player rooms for this event, then enforce 2-3 player rooms starting the next bm event.

    Edit: They have edit the rule. See original post.
    • Play counts will only be counted in 2 and 3 player rooms, starting from 8/18/2026 17:00 PT.
    • For players that completed play counts in 4+ players before this change, progress will remain unaffected.

    Yep, like ztar said, you can do normal mode, so even if you dont have much gear, you can also participate. Also, one of the goals of this event is to incentivize BossMode play, since alot of EU players have voiced out that they want to play BM but no one would join, or want to play.

    From experience of running Sejul Hell for 2h+ last month during the enchant boost event, I have not seen at 1 FAIL. And the purpose of these rewards are for those boss mode players who play alot of BM but struggle to get enough resources to buy keys to open chests, hence the Chest Key Bundles and carats being rewarded. The Oris is good for all kinds of players as well to get whatever box they want from the medal shop. The Lucky charm +200 LUC is also very good for boss mode players.

    For "End game" players, there is the teams ranking event, where if you get TOP 30, you get 1k RC among other stuff , and of course 3k RC, 2.5k RC, 2k RC for being 1st/2nd/third. RC is versatile as you can use it to buy whatever you want.

    Also, since this event is aimed to be every week or so, the rewards cant be too OP that it overshadows other current events. For example, if rewards gave "5,000 Carats + 15,000 Carats + 5 Orichalcon each "week", then in a month you'd have 80,000 Carats & 20 Orichalcon and that doesn't factor in other acquisition methods yet. (words from Fang in RF discord)

    "make daily in game events for 1 random item from store for rc ." The problem i see with this is the following - and feel free to correct me:
    • Having this kind of event would require players to come on during certain time to participate, like fisticuffs. And we know that timezone is a real issue when doing events like these (we see this with happy hour event). There will be backlash from people that cant make it during that time, whether it be due to school/work, or timezone difference (ie. EU players vs NA players)
    • Having an RC item given out daily would be too op.
    • Having a GM/CM/CA to come on daily to do this would be very manually intensive. As stated in https://forums.playredfox.com/index...fs-event-suspension-notice.59539/#post-529825 , " too much manual work and resources" accounted for 20% of why Fisticuffs was cancelled.

    Although I do not agree with Redfox's decisions on what happened, if you still have inquires regarding what happened for last month's teams event, its best to send a support ticket to address it.

    Just for some more data point on how frequent "FAIL" occurs for these 2 bossmodes (sejul and locke)

    Out of my 30 runs of sejul and 32 runs of locke, I have not encountered a single FAIL


    Im sorry to hear that. I recommended to send a support ticket to inquire about this further because I think that they will probably give a more personalized response relative to your case there, though I may be wrong.

    I would like to give a shoutout to the CM/GM team for delivering this event in record time.

    We went from a player suggesting this event idea from scratch on July 13th, 2026 in the RF discord (See image below), to the event being implemented in game on August 18th, 2026 - In just 5 weeks.

    This is a very impressive turnaround time, something that's never done before. Major kudos to the CM/GM team for pulling this off.

    So I think it's pretty neat that you guys were able to make an event from a suggestion. That's actually pretty neat, and the weekly rotation means we'll get different boss modes each week which is cool.

    However an issue I frequently ran into with a lot of the boss mode runs was crashing and bugs with hitting the boss/enemies. Rumble Fighter is, let's be honest, not the most stable game. Latency causes issues like not being able to hit enemies with anything but slide kicks/jump attacks, and boss mode runs can sometimes randomly disconnect or crash.

    I know there isn't much that RedFox can do as it's more Nimonix who deals with that, but the choice of Locke's Refuge and Dark Monastery was a bit unfortunate as I noticed both boss modes tend to be a bit buggier than others due to the changing rooms a lot. Perhaps D-H-08, Al Hata, Dragon's Lair would be better for this as a result.

    If there ever is a Vladimir's Castle for the Boss Bounty Board, please for the love of god lower the requirements a lot.
