WG-22 and the Gonk Army Event

How does the Droid Tycoon WG-22 event work?

From October 10, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT to October 11 at 1:00 PM PDT, give spare Gonk, EG-58, EGL, KT, MPH, JO9-4MN, PLNK or ECG droids to WG-22. Each hand-in earns 1 plus its rarity and finish tiers; 200 progress unlocks WG-22 and 675 completes all six stages.

Craft spare Power Droids, equip one as your companion, and give it to WG-22 only once Rebirth no longer needs it.

When to Play

The launch event runs from Saturday, October 10, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM UTC) through Sunday, October 11, 2026 at 1:00 PM PDT (8:00 PM UTC).

These instructions and reward amounts are configured for the event. The launch has not yet been played in this review.

Give a Droid to WG-22

1. Craft a spare Gonk, EG-58, EGL, KT, MPH, JO9-4MN, PLNK or ECG. These are the Power Droids accepted by the event.
2. Equip it as your companion and find WG-22. Look for the green droid in the image above and the “Give Gonk” interaction.
3. If the droid is locked, unlock it first. Check that you can spare it for Rebirth and your base.
4. Open “GIVE DROID TO WG-22?” and confirm. This removes that droid from your inventory and enlists it in the army.

FUS-3 and X-ONK have Gonk sounds, but the event’s hand-in check does not accept them. WG-22 himself does not have the Power Droid hand-in tag.

How Much Progress a Droid Gives

Progress per hand-in is 1 + rarity tier + finish tier. Rarity tiers are Common 0, Rare 1, Epic 2, Legendary 3 and Mythic 4. Finish tiers are Default 0, Gold 1, Diamond 2, Rainbow 3, Beskar 4, Galactic 5, Stellar 6 and Kyber 7.

A Default Gonk gives 1 point. A Galactic JO9-4MN gives 9. A Kyber ECG gives 12. The Event Pass doubles these amounts. Each hand-in also pays 80 seconds of your base Credit income, with a minimum of 800 Credits.

Event Rewards

The stages run in order. The first 200 progress unlocks WG-22, and 675 total progress completes all six stages. Then every 60 progress awards 3 Nova Crystals. The configured limit is 1,000 claims, or 3,000 crystals, with no repeatable cooldown. The three configured WG-22 windows share saved progress and this claim limit.

Crafting Boost Tokens

Each token activates a 15-minute (900-second) lobby boost: 2x Droid Depot crafting speed and pickaxe level for everyone. The event awards one token at each of its two token stages. The same token is sold separately for 250 V-Bucks or 150 Nova Crystals.

Build the Gonk Army

The shared lobby counter counts handed-in droids. At 30 hand-ins, the army activates a 60-second variant boost. A high-value droid can give several personal progress points while adding one recruit to this shared counter. The army clears after the boost and can be built again.

During the event, a Gonk surge is queued after 3 ordinary conveyor spawns. It chooses revealed Power Droids that can appear on the conveyor. WG-22 is earned from the event, rather than being included in that ordinary spawn pool.

WG-22 Event Pass

Price: 300 V-Bucks. The pass doubles event progress and adds +0.5x to the event’s crafting, pickaxe and Credit boosts. Each normal event boost is 2x, rising to 2.5x with the pass.

The pass is for the WG-22 event. Its configured purchase and effects still need an event-day transaction check.

Using WG-22

WG-22 is an Iconic Battle droid. Equip him for 2x Flawless Chance. His income follows the 15% Iconic income rule, with a 50-Credit minimum before the normal income bonuses. His Flawless perk adds +1 to the shared temporary chance multiplier; with other boosts it does not blindly double the final probability.

He costs 1,000,000 Credits to place after Super Rebirth. His later Nova Shop unlock costs 100 Nova Crystals, configured from Monday, November 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM PST (8:00 PM UTC).
