This is the Heist Flashback Event: The last of the three events in December at the end of the League will start in the ARPG Path of Exile from developer GGG (Grinding Gear Games). Here you can say one last time and on top of that, there are a lot of mods that will ensure even more loot. As in previous events, there is also something to be won here.

Everything you need to know first:

The event starts on December 18, 2020 at 12 pm PST.
The event ends on January 4th, 2021 at 10 am PST.
The following game modes are available: Standard Autark, Hardcore Autark.
It is NOT a “voided event”.

This is special about the Heist Flashback Event

This is how the Flashback event differs from the League and other events: This event is not "Voided". This means that all your loot and characters end up in the corresponding permanent league after the event and you can keep them. In addition to the well-known Heist League mechanics, each zone/map will contain three random mods from past leagues. However, every hour these mods will change randomly. These are the mods:

2 Additional Rogue Exiles
2 Additional Invasion Bosses
1 Additional Breach
2 Additional Strongboxes
3 Additional Tormented Spirits
2 Additional Perandus Chests and a 33% chance to spawn Cadiro
3 Additional Rare Monster Packs with Nemesis Mods
3 Additional Magic Monster Packs with Bloodlines
1 Additional Abyss
2 Additional Harbingers
1 Timeless Monolith
1 Metamorph
1 Delirium Mirror
Beyond

The Heist Flashback Event Prizes

The prizes are structured in a similar way to the Endless Delve event, only this time there is a different selection. In addition, you can trade with other players. There are again different MTX and for the best of the best to win the authority of the demigod.

Twilight Mystery Box: In the Flashback Event, you'll be automatically awarded a Twilight Mystery Box for reaching level 50. This is a guaranteed prize that's only available once per account per event. Leveling multiple characters in the same event will not grant multiple mystery boxes.

Random Draw Microtransactions: If you reach one of the level thresholds below, you'll automatically be in the draw to win one of the microtransaction prizes below. These will be drawn at random and shared across all versions of the event.

Flashback Heist Event FAQ

Can I play my existing character?

No, you'll need to make new characters in each event.

How do I join the event?

At the character selection screen, there's a panel below your characters which will list the events available. You can join the event by clicking 'join'. This option becomes available 30 minutes before the event is set to begin. Your character won't be able to move until the event starts.

Can I make Private League versions of these events?

No.

Can I change my Ascendancy Class during the event?

No. This is to prevent people changing classes at the last minute as a cheap way to get a Demigod's Authority.

Why is Delve Solo Self-Found?

To party with other players, you would need access to towns or your Hideout which are not available due to the nature of the event.

If I delete my character, will I still get a prize?

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor No. Please do not delete your characters until after the prizes have been awarded.

Will I still be eligible for prizes if my character dies?

Yes.

If I level multiple characters will I have a greater chance of winning a prize?

Yes. Every character you level will be independently included in the pool for the prize draw at the end of the event. This excludes mystery boxes, where you will only be able to receive one per account per event.

Can I win more than one microtransaction prize?

Yes, it's possible to win multiple prizes. This excludes the mystery box which is awarded once per account per event. If you reach level 50 in all three events, then you will receive three mystery boxes. These can be found in your microtransaction stash once awarded.

When will I receive a prize?

The Twilight Mystery Box will be awarded automatically when you reach level 50 during an event. The other microtransactions and Demigod's Authorities will be awarded at the end of the event. You'll receive a private message on the website to notify you when this has happened.

Will league unique items drop in Flashback/Mayhem areas that have those leagues active?

No, it's not possible to get past league unique items this way.

Can you migrate from Standard SSF Flashback to Standard Flashback?

Yes, this is possible. (The same applies to Hardcore SSF Flashback to Hardcore Flashback).

Is the prize pool shared between all platforms?

Each platform (PC, PS4 and Xbox One) has its own Demigod's Auhority prize pool. However, the microtransaction prize pool is shared across all platforms.

Will the Flashback mods affect Heist contracts?

No, Flashback mods are disabled in Heist contracts.

Will I have access to my crafting bench in Endless Delve?

No.

Are you going to use this event to really enjoy Heist again? Do you already know which builds you want to play and if so which ones?
