A new “Power Unleashed!” tab has been added to the game, with quests and rewards available to all players until Aug. 30. Completing quests raises players’ power level and awards them Dragon Balls, as well as rewards like back bling, emotes, sprays, and battle pass levels. The Shenron Glider is awarded to players who complete all quests, which are based on Dragon Ball lore.

For the duration of Dragon Ball, Bounty Boards on the island were replaced by Versus Boards. If two players interact with these boards, they’ll be revealed on each other’s maps and given five minutes to find each other, defeat their opponent and claim victory.

The famous Kamehameha allows you to unleash Goku’s energy beam on your foes, while the Nimbus Cloud lets you fly around the island. Bulma is located on the Kame House, a small island just off the mainland. Here you can talk to her and trade Bars for powerful items.
