Prerequisite: Complete the last area that has main story content, and go through its exit gate.
(You do not have to complete the optional side quests, including SBA's, Nate and Det. Kaine quests to enter the Flux.)
What is The Flux?
The Flux zone always appears at the end of the available content. It is a special area that is accessible only to players who have completed all of the main story content, and is intended to keep the interest of players who are awaiting the next update.
Each Flux has a theme that is based on the last content update, and has a 144 puzzle that rewards high quality Flux Trinkets or Flux Dust that can be used to buy special items.
Interact with the BW2 developer avatars in the most current versions of the Flux. In older versions of the Flux (prior to 15.0) the avatars are ghostly, and you will see the "studio" expand with new Developers over time.
A major update will relocate The Flux to the end of the new content. If you are currently in the Flux when new content is released you will be warped back to The Commons. You'll be able to return to the Flux after you have completed the new content.
Teleporting[]
Players who have reached the current Flux will be able to teleport to previous Fluxes and get trinkets they missed, complete a variety of puzzles, and earn achievements for building Flux Teleporters. To teleport between Flux's, click on the "glitch" (with the !!! above it) or you can build and customize teleporters in various Flux areas.
Go to Teleporter Hub Quests for details on Building and setting up your own Teleporters.
Puzzles[]
- Each Flux has a 144
puzzle that can be completed repeatedly.
- You will be rewarded a Flux Trinket for puzzles completed. After finding all 8 Flux Trinkets for a given Flux, you will whack up Flux Dust. Flux Dust can be used to buy special Custom Items, and "Super Trinket" that can only be obtained and upgraded in the Flux.
- If you are working on a puzzle in the most recent Flux at the time of a new content push, your puzzle pieces will transfer to the newest released Flux. (ie. partially finished flux 19.0 puzzle pieces will automatically transfer to flux 20.0 as soon as you reach the end of the new content). If you are working on a puzzle in an older Flux, don't worry, you'll be able to pick up on your puzzle where you left off.
Pro-Tip
When you have reached The Flux and you have heard of an imminent release of new content, you can setup your Flux puzzle so that upon your next entry into The Flux, you can immediately get a brand new Flux trinket.
- Whack up all the 144 puzzle
pieces. Partially solve the puzzle, but DO NOT fully complete it. Leave out 1 or more pieces.
Flux Puzzle Rewards[]
Trinkets[]
Flux trinkets are identical in appearance to the regular Trinkets you find in the game, but they have improved attributes over their counterparts. There are currently two types of descriptors that a Flux trinket can have:
- (Uncommon) - Uncommon trinkets are better than their common counterparts by one step. For example, the Flux Searing Bracer trinket increases Max Mana by +45 while, the Searing Bracer increases it by +38.
- (Rare) - Rare trinkets are superior to the common version of the trinket. For example, the Flux Gnarled Wand increases the Mana odds by 16% at level 440, while the Gnarled Wand increases Mana by 11.4% at level 440.
Flux Dust []
Flux Dust is an end-game currency that can be used to buy special items, or upgrade your Super Trinket! You can get Flux Dust by turning in sets of Flux Trinkets, completing tiers in The Flungeon, or by growing 
Flux Flax Seeds on your ranch.
- A complete set of 8 trinkets from the same flux can be traded for 8 flux dust.
- Earn one flux dust when you complete a puzzle after you have found all the trinkets for that flux.
Note: Keep in mind that when you turn in sets of Flux trinkets you won’t be able to use them anymore so don’t turn in any trinkets you’re currently using.
