UPDATE 4/19 APP MARKET VERSION 1.21.5:
- Mutant Stewie Eggs will now have a green smoke tower above them, so that they are easier to locate if they hiding behind buildings.
- Mutant Stewies will spawn from the gate for players who are working on completing the second challenge. This is in addition to the Eggs. Once the challenge is completed, Mutant Stewies will stop spawning from the gate
Hey there lil Squidies!
Weekly Challenge #2 is in our games along with some extras for the Boomsday Event. Take a look at the details below to see the informationfor the Weekly Challenge #2, Mutant Musings and More
Weekly Challenges may not show up for all Players. They are challenging and may require Clams to be spent at some point to complete them, so they usually appear for Premium Players.
They are also completely optional. You do not have to take the Challenge and can just let it pass by if you so choose.

EXTINCTION MYSTERY BOX
Looks like requests were responded to and Jeff’s Van has been added into the Extinction Level Mystery Box. Let me know if you see it.
UPDATE: the Van is actually just in the Shopping Cart Menu per other Players for $1500.
BUSTED ROADS
As many of you now notice, the Roads are turned back to the similar look when Quaghog was first destroyed and the Game was just starting. It really does add to the overall Apocalyptic look and feel of the Event. I love it!!
There you have #2 Weekly Challenge for the Boomsday Event. Don’t forget, as soon as you trigger the Challenge you will only have 3 days to complete it. This is completely optional, so your choice to make a go at it.
Are you going to give it a try? If you are, how far are you now? Tips for other Players? Let us know.

Help. I am not getting enough mutant Stewie’s in order to get my 150. I have plenty of smoke bomb’s but hardly any Stewie’s. I need about 50 more in 7 hours. Is there any way to pump up the amount of eggs? I am averaging 2 piles of eggs in about a 12 hour period, which equated to 4-6 Stewie’s….

Don’t look for just piles… they come out of gates too. Tap “go” to see how many are scattered

I had forgotten about the challenge and was wondering this evening why the Griffins’ apocalyptic car popped up suddenly in my inventory… Not much use to the family. The drivers spend all their time mutated except for Peter, who is stuck 24/7 in the diner eating spam to get syringes.
The car keeps getting stuck on the potholes….
Good news is that once all my Stewies for the challenge were cleared, the drop rate for ciggies from the hatchling Stewies seems back to normal. I was getting mostly zero drops during the challenge, I think they glitched the drop rate rather than compensating correctly for more Stewies. There hadn’t really been that many more eggs (if any, their spawning slowed) and very few of my Stewies came through the gate. Besides, would it have killed them to give us a few more ciggies?!?
LikeLike
No extra eggs. Just extra Mutants roaming free and loose. All should be normal once Challenge goes away. 😉

Finished the challenge today. But since this challenge started, the drop rate for cigs and cloaks have been almost nonexistent. I probably only got 30 cigs for all the mutant stewies I bombed. So now because of this, I’m not going to able to start phase 3 tomorrow because I still need to get the wrecked capital and apocalyptic Stan.

I’ve been getting Zero or just One or Two Cigs from the stewie mutants ever since the second timed quest started. It is very frustrating when I kill 7+ on multiple occassion and get ZERO drops every time. Did tiny co change the drop stats so people can’t get Cigs quicker by bombing?

Hey Bunny,
I haven’t trigger my challenge yet but do you think as I’m clearing out mutant and stewies it will count towards the challenge. I’m trying to get as much as I can so when I trigger it I will be on the winning side. Not sure if that make sense but let me know.

There are no mutant stew or eggs spawning at all since the game updated to add the broken up roads. Nothing at all. It’s odd.

They were already there. Many of them are due to remnants from where Roads used to be. Possibly removed AFTER the eggs dropped and the Player was not aware. The Steam is now just helping for Players to see them better.

I decided to click on Jesus today and I had more than enough cloaks saved to finish that request. I was hoping cloaks would stop dropping with mutant Stewies if I used them, but they are still coming quicker than cigarettes. If I get the other two items dropped I may pay my saved clams for the Armageddon Stan quest because I have no shot of getting him or Peter’s costume. Too bad because I’d love the Lois costume they as teasing.

Hi I don’t know if this is cheating or not but I’ve bought three furniture stores to help gather smoke bombs. Don’t know if there is a limit to how many you can build. Not that it matters.

Hi bunny I haven’t had any egg piles for 12 hours. I only have a road in my maze. I have messaged them in game.

The Stewie eggs started to appear very rarely in my town before the roads got busted (which I dislike by the way). I only saw a three egg piles yesterday.
About the roads. I think it’s not a problem if you have little of them, but I have a lot (like in a real town). So the whole interface looks cluttered which makes it harder to find stuff.
LikeLike
I had eggs spawning when the roads changed earlier today. However they stopped spawning as soon as I triggered the challenge. Wrote them but they never responded to my last issue so who knows what they’ll have to say.
LikeLike
Odd, I cleared 8 as soon as it hit… just checked my town right this moment… at least 6 more I can visually see are there. I will give them a heads up, but you should still be getting them.
Check all over your town to make sure none are hidden. Look for random solitary roads too in your Road Screen.
LikeLike
I have just a 6×6 road grid set up with no bordering buildings, been that way for about a year so nothing hidden, though I did move buildings to double check. I finally just had eggs spawn about 10min ago but it was only 2. No wandering stewies left either. Just barren land and mutants lol.

TinyCo dropped the Egg drop number from 4 to 2 every 1-2 hours.

That’s a bad move on their part since cigarettes were already hard enough to come by as it was. That combined with the 150 mutants to clear in 3 days isn’t good imo.

As I get that many in about 3 days… I don’t think so. We need the items. Many still need 100 cloaks. So toss in an item that we need already and are trying to get already instead of something else I feel is better
LikeLike
I understand that I do. The main concern is that I, like many others, wasn’t even getting spawns after the update until this afternoon. Now 24hrs into a 72hr challenge and I’ve only gotten about 20 mutants total which makes my chances slim. Honestly not a huge deal since I’m not concerned with the challenges too much. I just feel they too often don’t seem to be concerned with how much their glitches or mishaps set people back and offer an “oh well no extension even though we messed up” type of attitude. Guess I’m just used to my other game giving us compensation to make up for lost time/set backs when this kind of stuff happens lol.
LikeLike
That is the “issue” though. EVERY game TinyCo checked stating now eggs…EVERY ONE… they all had Eggs in them. 100%. Not a single solitary one they checked in the thousands of messages were missing any. All had Egg Piles. Hence the Green Steam now so Players can see the Egg Piles. Once those are tapped Stewies will come.
I know it is frustrating and I too get annoyed when there is an “issue” in the game. But for the Egg Piles, it was more a matter of visual issue. It if was a glitch… then yes I would have been all over them to change the challenge element amounts (as I have in the past), but with not one showing an actual glitch… that is not possible. Sorry.
FYI… they DID make a change for those that could not see them… Mutant Stewies now coming out of the Gates to help those that couldn’t find Egg Piles “catch up”. So in the end, they are doing all they can to help… even if they were not at fault. 😉
LikeLike
The Challenge is the reason they lowered the drop number. Players would get 150 Mutant Stewies in 24 hours. TinyCo should have just upped to number to 300 instead.
LikeLike
I’m still getting eggs, but they spawned significantly faster Monday morning than since Monday afternoon/evening. The change did seem to occur after I saw the new challenge and/or the road rubble. I definitely don’t have hidden roads anywhere. Just a very small patch in a maze and then a short L-shaped run near the houses. So when I say the spawning rate has changed, I mean on those two bits of road which haven’t been touched – the piles still show up on them, just not as fast.
If you delete a road patch for any reason (as I was doing to zero in on specific mutants when I only had a small patch in the maze), the eggs can drop anywhere during that brief no-road period. For me, they showed up on sidewalk-like things attached to buildings. But I haven’t seen that since I made the longer L-shaped road to let the mutants spread out better. Since I stopped deleting any road even for a minute, the eggs all show up on my roads and not on other buildings off road.

I just cleared all 8 Egg piles and already have 24 Mutants down. I see it will be close, but definitely possible. If you are only “visually” seeing a couple, that means it is most likely more are hidden. TinyCo just ran a cull of all messages from Players stating “no eggs” or “little amounts of eggs” in their towns. 100% of the time… Eggs were there, just obstructed by Buildings and Decorations. In other words, check everywhere to ensure you didn’t leave a spot that is obstructed or removed Road that some were dropped by.
Second note, as I see this in my town… Egg Piles “stack”. They pile on top of each other, so you may think there are 2 piles, when there is actually 4 or more one on top of another.
