Borg Invasion | |
Season | Perpetual |
Environment | Any/All |
Synopsis | Chaos Renegades teams as Borg collective. Start vanilla and play against other teams... and as you kill your opponent's players, you add their unique biological signature to the Borg. It was challenging under the BB2016 rules, and I suspect it's even harder now. |
