The Sparrow Racing League is an upcoming limited time event. The event will begin on December 8, 2015, and end on December 29, 2015. Depending on its popularity, it may later return as a permanent activity.[1]
Overview
The Sparrow Racing League is hosted by Amanda Holliday. True to its name, the event involves Guardians racing each other in their Sparrows.[1]
Gameplay
Six players compete on two specially-designed maps. Races consist of three laps across a map, throughout which players must survive various obstacles, web mines, enemy attacks, and each other while passing through SRL Gates to boost their maximum speed. The first player to reach the finish line at the end of the third lap wins the race. Rewards are randomized, but the quality of the rewards increases with the player's SRL rank. Winning races and other skill-related accomplishments are required to complete certain SRL bounties.[1]
During races, players don a unique set of aerodynamic armor designed for Sparrow racing. This armor provides unique Sparrow-related abilities, such as allowing the player to control the speed of their descent through the air or reducing the time it takes to summon a Sparrow. Helmets and class items earned from SRL can drop with up to 320 Defense, but Chests, Gauntlets, and Boots have 0 Defense.
Similar to the Festival of the Lost's masks, one reward from the event is purely cosmetic and potentially temporary: Sparrow Horns. Rare Horns will expire at the end of the event and be removed from the player's inventory, but Legendary Horns are permanent; Rare Horns can be upgraded into Legendary Horns using an event-exclusive material called a Horn Relay.
