Hostile Skies Event Schedule
Rotating events, rewards, and tips.
Hostile Skies runs a rotating event schedule. Most events run on a two-week rotation with a one-day break between them. This page tracks the current event, the next one, and the recurring weekend challenges so you never miss a credit or XP window.
Current event: Phantom Pursuit
Runs for ten days after each v3.5.1 launch window.
- Mode: 6v6 stealth-jet bracket. Each team fields the Phantom and the Gloster Meteor (Allied) or Me 262 (Axis).
- Map: Modified eastern map with cloud cover and reduced radar range.
- Reward: 5,000 credits per win, 1,500 XP per match completed, plus a 24-hour Phantom skin unlock on five wins.
- Bonus window: the first 48 hours grant double rewards.
Next event: Bomber Run Tournament

Recurring weekend events
- Friday Night Dogfight — free-for-all dogfights, 2x credits all weekend.
- Saturday Bomber Run — 4v4 bomber escorts, 3x XP.
- Sunday Ace Race — time-trial around a fixed waypoint course, top 100 get a permanent banner.
How event rewards stack with codes
Redeem any Active codes before you start grinding the event. Most code rewards stack with event XP and credit payouts, so you can stack a 2x XP code on top of a 3x XP event window for a one-time 6x burst.
How to read the schedule
The schedule lists the current event first, then the next, then the one after that. Recurring weekend challenges always run alongside the rotation. Bookmark this page and check it on Thursday evenings, when the next rotation is usually confirmed.
Why events matter
Events are the single best credit and XP source in the game. The Phantom Pursuit first-48-hours window plus a 2x XP code is enough to unlock either the M22 or the Phantom on day one of the patch if you have enough stored credits. Save your credits for event weekends rather than spending them on cosmetic skins.
Event etiquette and stacking
- You can join the same event lobby from the same team more than once in a day.
- Cross-team squad lobbies are not yet enabled for events.
- Code bonuses apply to event rewards but do not stack across codes — only the highest-value code applies per match.
- Daily first-win bonus stacks with the event payout.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
How often do events rotate?
Major events rotate every two weeks. Weekend events recur every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Do codes stack with event rewards?
Yes, but only one code applies per match. Use the highest-value code you have and stack it with the first-48-hours event bonus for the biggest burst.
Can I play the same event with friends?
Yes. Public lobbies allow up to 12 players per event, and squad lobbies allow up to 6 players from the same team.
