NIKKE x Dave the Diver is a collaboration with the diving and sushi-preparing hit. While it may seem like an unlikely union, the two work well together. Players can expect a unique minigame experience from the collaboration. The game is already host to various styles of minigames and unique modes, like Tribe Tower. However, the Dave the Diver collaboration is something new for NIKKE and we have all the details.
Below, we have created a guide where players can learn what it entails, if the game mode is permanent, and more. It gives players something different to explore and may even pique their interest in the actual Dave the Diver title. Additionally, players can get some unique rewards just from participating in the collaboration event.
What is NIKKE Dave the Diver?
NIKKE Dave the Diver is a collaboration where players pick three different NIKKE characters and explore the ocean depths. Players dive and look for ingredients for a character named Bancho, a sushi restaurant owner. The gameplay itself is very similar to Dave the Diver. However, rather than play as Dave, players pick from NIKKEs: Anchor, Mast, and Helm.
Furthermore, similar to Dave the Diver, players need to look after their oxygen and depth levels as they explore. By doing so, they will lose their lives while finding the vital ingredients. The different things to collect include fish, which players can acquire using the harpoon guns provided. Furthermore, to further the experience, players need to prepare dishes for Bancho. From selecting the right type of fish to the other ingredients, the NIKKEs become right at home with Dave the Diver.
What are the Rewards of the Collaboration?
NIKKE Dave the Diver features unique outfits for Anchor and Mast. Players earn them by just logging in during the event and are free to all players. There are two outfits total for players to get from the event. Players can equip the outfits afterward to stand out from other players in the NIKKE world. Moreover, there are no additional outfits for players to unlock or purchase. Rather just the two and that’s it.
As this is a separate minigame, it is meant to be a fun experience. Therefore, unlike For the King, there are no other rewards that players can earn during the collaboration.
Is NIKKE Dave the Diver a Permanent Addition?
Unfortunately, no. The collaboration is not permanent and the event ends after a limited time. Many other additions to NIKKE that have been limited time as well. For example, the aforementioned For the King event. It featured a tower defense style of gameplay and only was available for a few weeks.
Afterwards, the event was taken out and players were no longer able to experience the mode. Furthermore, the rewards were no longer earnable from the event either. This is not shocking, however. Developer SHIFT Up provides many different events and collaborations in NIKKE throughout the year. Because of this, they are usually shorter to provide a way for the next incoming event or collaboration for players to experience. Whether or not the event will return is uncertain. However, as it provides a newer gameplay loop for players to experience, rather than rewards, there is a possibility.
That is everything to know about the NIKKE Dave the Diver collaboration event. The concept is very odd but something that many players found to be appealing. Furthermore, it provides the means to experience Dave the Diver in a way and see if the gameplay suits others. Whether a NIKKE veteran or a newcomer, it provides a new means to experience NIKKE and have fun in the process.
