Scourge — Droid Tycoon Event Guide
The limited Scourge event in Star Wars: Droid Tycoon (searched as "droid tycoon scourge") — when Scourge droids spawn, how Hive Mind pays out, and what the Scourge Prime boss fight is worth.
After the launch window ends Nov 1 at 20:00 UTC, Scourge only spawns on Fridays (00:00–24:00 UTC). Farm the conveyor during Dawn of the Scourge, run World Missions for crates, or buy a guaranteed crate for 10 Treats — upgrade chips cannot create Scourge.
When Scourge spawns
Outside these windows the conveyor weight is literally zero.
| Window | Times |
|---|---|
| Launch window | Oct 24 – Nov 1, ends 20:00 UTC |
| Scourge Fridays | Every Friday 00:00–24:00 UTC (Thu 4 PM – Fri 4 PM PST) |
| Dawn of the Scourge | Timed spawn — a Scourge blueprint forced onto the conveyor every 300 seconds |
Every way to get one
Odds and guarantees.
| Source | Cost / odds |
|---|---|
| Conveyor blueprint | Roughly 1 in 155 (Common) to 1 in 447 (Mythic) |
| World Mission | Pays a Scourge Blueprint Crate while the event is on |
| Gonk-O-Ween shop | 10 Treats = guaranteed Scourge Blueprint Crate |
| Scourgedex hand-ins | Every 5 surrendered droids pays a crate |
| Scourge Surge | 500 V-Bucks (or 450 Nova crystals) — 5 min of boosted Scourge on the belt |
Hive Mind & the numbers that matter
Placement beats possession.
Hive Mind scales with Scourge droids actually placed — in work stations, Astromech mission slots, Protocol slots or the Upgrade Chip Station. Above Credits Multi x1.45, no count of Scourge out-earns an activated Kyber of the same droid; below it, enough Scourge can beat Stellar (12 at x10, 13 for Mythic). Scourge also fills any variant's rebirth requirement.
Scourge Prime boss fight
The headline reward of the event.
The Scourge Prime fight ran Oct 31 – Nov 1 (ends 21:00 UTC): progress goals at 45,000 / 120,000 / 240,000 damage — the top tier unlocks Scourge Prime as an Iconic droid. Repeat clears pay 5 Nova Crystals per 20,000 damage, and each defeat floods the belt with 60 seconds of high-tier Scourge blueprints. No Scourgedex hand-ins during the fight window.
