FYI… UPDATE IN APP MARKET: iOS and Google have the 1.21.5 App Update. Ensure you download it to put any patches in place that may impact your game. Amazon and Facebook users, let me know if/when you see it.
- 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
Also…
- The team is working on a fix for the Facebook and Google Play issue – they are related. We hope to have a fix soon!
Hey there Cockroaches!
RUUUUUN!!! THE END OF THE WORLD IS COMING!!! … To Quahog.
It looks like we have been transported back in time to 1999, or is it now? With all the times I hear on the radio or see on the TV “THE END IS NEAR”, I just never know when the world is actually gonna end. Guess I will just have to keep on waiting to kidnap “friends” for my underground shelter. Wait to take out a bunch of Zombies with my real life Maze in the back yard. Wait to see if Twinkies and Cockroaches really do survive anything (well Twinkies almost didn’t survive a company going under”.
With a New Event comes Timed New Characters/Costumes, like Sidewalk Joe & Commander Jesus.
Let’s take a look at what Sidewalk Joe & Commander Jesus can do in our silly lil games.
For more information on the Boomsday Event, go to the Event Page HERE.
Remember, timed items are completely optional. It is your choice to try for them, or you can opt to skip them if you would like. They ARE difficult and many times I view them as a “Premium” item as you may have to spend Clams to get them or pass on other items.
SIDEWALK JOE
Sidewalk Joe is a New Character Costume added during the first week of Boomsday 2016. As with many characters in the game in order to get him you had to collect lots of stuff!
For Sidewalk Joe, you had to earn Twinklies and unlock ALL the items in front of him first in the Stockpile Tanker.
TIMER WARNING!!! Once you unlock the Prize in front of Sidewalk Joe (Moonshine Distillery), ANYTHING that brought you back to the Stockpile Tanker (Quest, Tasks, ANYTHING) started Sidewalk Joe’s ONE DAY TIMER!
Once his timer was triggered, you had 24 hrs to collect the 115 
Twinklies needed to unlock him. If you were successful, once you pulled him out of the Stockpile Tanker, you just had to finish up the Costume in Al’s to activate it to Joe.
He does come with a questline, Concrete Bungle, more on that HERE.
Sidewalk Joe does come with a complete set of Tasks! Tasks that helped earn $$ & XP. He also had a Task added in Phase 2 to help earn 
Cure Darts.
Let’s take a look at some of Sidewalk Joe’s Tasks:
| Task | Time | Earns | Location |
| Get Hosed | 2hrs | 30 20 |
Swanson House |
| Clean Up | 4hrs | 5030 |
Visual |
| Get Blocked | 6hrs | 6545/ 1 Cure Dart |
Swanson House |
| Get Chiseled Legs | 8hrs | 8050 |
Visual |
| Be Cement-Blocked Capable | 10hrs | 9059 |
Swanson House |
| Pound the Pavement | 12hrs | 10065 |
Swanson House |
| Stiffen Up | 24hrs | 150100 |
Swanson House |
**Note: Within an Event, tasks may change and vary as the Phases come and go. So some of these tasks will be temporary. Others may be one time use. Some will stick around even after the Event. We won’t know until the Event Ends.
IS HE VOICED?
He is a Costume for Joe, so same voice clips that Peter has.
COMMANDER JESUS
Commander Jesus is a New Character added during the second week of Boomsday 2016. As with many characters in the game in order to get him you had to collect lots of stuff!
In order to get Commander Jesus, you first had to trigger the Unlock for Him from over in the Event Area. TIMER WARNING!! Tapping on the Lock Icon above him opens up his Material Bubbles to see what he requires, but it also started his 7 DAY TIMER. You then see the timer begin to count down.
Requires
27 Holy Hand Grenades (Common): Build a Mutant Bear Studio (Stockpile Tanker) OR Mort Obsessively Count Twinkies OR Neil Goldman Clean Retainer OR Joe Investigate Sources of Prank Calls OR Brian Fact-Check on the Internet
26 Beard Trimmers (Uncommon): Destroyed Library (Stockpile Tanker) OR Bruce Be a Leatherworker OR Carter Mistreat Minimum Wage Employees
100 Lambswool Cloaks (Rare): Mutant Stewies **this Material will drop before, during, and after you need them due to the way it is coded to the Mutant Stewies***
Have Armageddon Stan Smith Carefully Go to the Bathroom (Twice): 6hrs
Once you gathered all the items, you would then see him in the Event Area with an Unlock Icon over him. Tapping on the Icon would bring him live into your game.
He does come with a questline, Risen From the Ooze, more on that in another post.
Commander Jesus does come with a complete set of Tasks! Tasks that helped earn $$ & XP. He also has Tasks to help earn 
Ornamental Skulls
Let’s take a look at some of Commander Jesus’s Tasks:
| Task | Time | Earns | Location | Level |
| Juggle Holy Hand Grenades | 2hrs | 3020 |
Visual |
|
| Turn Water Into Oil | 4hrs | 5030 |
Drunken Clam | |
| Do Parkour | 6hrs | 6545/ 1 Ornamental Skull |

**Note: Within an Event, tasks may change and vary as the Phases come and go. So some of these tasks will be temporary. Others may be one time use. Some will stick around even after the Event. We won’t know until the Event Ends.
IS HE VOICED?
He is not currently voiced.
And there you have it, the complete breakdown for Sidewalk Joe & Commander Jesus.
Did you take the option and take a chance at one of the Timed Characters? Who have you unlocked so far? If you haven’t unlocked someone, how close are you? If so, have a favorite Task? Let us know!

Lets say i get all the buildings Neil Goldman needs to be unlocked but i never unlocked him during the event and the even ends can i still unlock him?

I’ve completed the challenge and yet the stewies continue to spawn out of the gate. It’s really annoying as it’s so difficult to group any large number when they’re roaming the hole place. Why not just leave it to eggs? It was easy to complete the challenge that way. Now my eggs won’t hatch as there are too many running around!
LikeLike
One good thing I noticed about this Phase is that it requires a task by Apocalypse Stan in order to proceed to the next Phase. That at least means that the nightmare scenario of being one Twinklie away* from unlocking Stan (and effectively Cmdr Jesus) when the Twinklies recipes change with Phase III (and lock us out from further trades until we can get the new trade item) should not be possible.
*The “one Twinklies away” part is not just a possibility for me, it’s a certainty. I will be one away at some point. I’m 43 Twinklies shy of Apocalypse Stan right now. Twinklies, via their fastest method, come at six a pop. Six times seven is 42, as Douglas Adams could tell you. One shy of 43. Tomorrow should be fun…

Oh, that’s so kind of them. Now all I have to do, with 24 hours left on my Commander Jesus clock, is either wait 20hrs+ to take advantage of it, or spend 41 of my 40 Clams to speed up the TP run Alien is currently on… smh…
The worst part is that even with the horrendous Mutant Stewie drop rate, that extra 30 or 40 Cigs or so that Alien might hypothetically get me in the next 24hrs might be enough to push me over. Shame I wouldn’t have enough Clams left over to speed up Stan’s tasks in order to get them done in time…
LikeLike
I was planning on waiting to tap on Commander Jesus until I was close to getting Stan out of the Stockpile Tanker but the decision was made for me when the timer suddenly began without me tapping on it. I immediately messaged TinyCo. While I waited for a response I tried to replicate the action to see if closing out the tanker would open up Jesus but was unable to do so. When they finally responded about 5 days later they told me “thanks for the feedback”. I did message them to assist them in learning the difference between an issue and feedback. In the meantime I had noticed another issue that, along with the self-starting timer, smelled of a clam-grab. That was not disputed. When I also pointed out that they did not address or even acknowledge the issues they once again thanked me for the feedback and promised to pass it along. They finally responded that there was nothing they could do because the timer was working properly. I pointed out to them that the timer was working fine and that was never the issue, but rather it was the timer beginning on its own. That was when they deleted the message thread instead of asking if I had anymore questions.
LikeLike
Side note (I did point this out in the main post as well as in several comments too) Apocalypse Peter has a Task to help drop Ornamental Skulls by a task from Jesus (see above). If you tapped on that Task “GO” it took you to CJ and started the timer. ANYTHING that goes to CJ started his timer. That is what tripped up many other players when the Event started. Tapping Peter’s “GO” on the Task in Al’s under the Skulls.
LikeLike
The switch from water bottles to cigs was brutal and I’ll probably not have Neil unlocked for another few days as a result, however having never seen the AD show, I won’t regret missing Jesus. I’m always wary of events that lock up characters as part of the event, so I think Joe will be more helpful in the long run to contribute towards unlocking guys with task rewards waiting.

I’m on a different boat, Stewies won’t spam on my game 😩, the eggs won’t spam them… And the ones left when killed won’t drop anything.. Since yesterday.. Already wrote them.. More than halfway through challenge, and almost there getting Stan for Jesus and now stuck 😡..

Remove all your buildings, or as many as you can, and methodically clear out all of the Stewies before trying to open any more eggs. There can’t be more than 30 Stewies at a time, and it sounds like you have reached that cap. As for the Cig drop rate, we’re all dealing with that. Hopefully TinyCo comes up with a solution in time for people to still get Cmdr Jesus, and we don’t have a repeat of the Christmas debacle…

I think the change in drop rates for Mutant Stewies is directly related to the “glitch” of multiple furniture stores. Why would people take advantage of the clam package to get smoke bombs, buy the premium item that drops smoke bombs, or even purchase smoke bombs in the store when you can just build multiple furniture stores for coins and get lots of bombs? I know I feel foolish for spending clams when it is easier to just spend coins.
They must have realized smoke bombs are too easy to acquire so why have a higher payout when using them. It was probably expected that we would end up with about 10 smoke bombs each day – now it is probably much higher so they reduced the payouts.
LikeLike
NOPE. One has nothing to do with the other. The Stewies were UPPED in a way that more just spawn outside the Egg Piles to clear the Weekly Challenge. That is where the change was and why it is impacting players.
It will go back to normal soon though.

I see the point in increasing the Stewie mutants but honestly, why bother at the 11th hour? For example, I have like 21 hours left on the timer and still need another 80 mutants but have no bombs. I feel like it will be too little, too late.
LikeLike
Bombs are easy. Build lots of Furniture stores

My challenge is long done, but the Stewies still keep trickling out of the gate, and hardly any of them drop anything. I don’t know why they bothered having extra Stewies appear anyway. The spawn rate from the eggs alone was way more than enough to guarantee 150 Stewies in three days. I got maybe 9 of my Stewies via the gate over the course of finishing it in less than two days. I’m sure people would much rather have had the better drop rate and fewer Stewies.

It seems the ratio may be adjusted to accommodate the temp increase of Mutants. Seems that way to me. 12 to 15 piles in a span of time I used to only see 6 or 8. So still same Cigarettes over a period of 2 hrs paid… but LOTS more Stewies killed.

The list of ways to get ciggies in the Twinklies trading post says clearing mutant Stewies is an always drop for ciggies. I just cleared three separate Stewies (from the gate, not from eggs) and only one dropped a ciggie pack. When I clear eggs, I always hit three Stewies and often now get no ciggies or else 1 or 2 total from the triplets. So they’re not even a common drop, much less an always drop. I only noticed this when I used the Go button at the Twinkly trading post to find the stray Stewies now that the little buggers are scurrying through the gate rather than just hatching from eggs.
If they really were an always drop, it would make more sense to pick them off individually rather than going for multiples from eggs.
The mutant humans in the same Trading Post list really are an always drop, but they need to either alter the drop rate or put a truthful label on the little Stewie mutants. I of course would cheer if they really made them an always drop! Come on, guys, I’m ready to start smoking myself to relieve the stress trying to get Stan before the Commander’s timer runs out. We need more ciggies!

Word of warning on the new graphic for the eggs (the green glow). It is considered part of the eggs, so if you tap it, you will release the eggs. It also appears to take precedence over tapping the actual eggs themselves, so if you tap a clutch of eggs that are close enough and “above” another clutch, you will select the one “below”.

If you already have both buildings, just wait until they’re ready to collect and then tap Cmdr Jesus. You should have more than enough time to get Armageddon Stan in time. I tapped him right at the beginning of the week, and have a little more than two days left on the timer and have just started in on collecting Twinklies for AS. All the other items have been collected since early yesterday.
I’m thinking I won’t have enough time left to get Stan and have him do the tasks (12hr total), but there’s a decent chance I’ll have time to get AS and pay Clams to speed up those tasks (which should be less than the 75 Clams in CJ’s list). If I’d tapped on him a day later, it almost certainly wouldn’t be costing me any Clams.

Yeah, scratch that. With the Mutant Stewies drop rate issue, it’s probably best to wait to hit the timer until you’ve at least started on Apocalypse Stan, to ensure you get enough Cigs to get him.
