Trivia

  • If you were to kill one and the player had 0 Bounty, you would gain 27,137 Bounty.
  • If you were to sell this Freighter you would receive 81,410 credits for it.
  • Unlike the Festive Wasp and Coal Wasp giveaway during the Christmas Event 2017, players could re-obtain the Festive Wyrm after selling it between the two days it was being given away.
  • Despite the rumors spread about the Festive Wyrm not appearing on the map, the Festive Wyrm, in fact, does appear on the map. This rumor was most likely started by a pirate attempting to lure the ship into a false sense of security and kill it.
  • Despite the fact that there is a Coal Wasp, there is no Coal Wyrm.
  • Used as a "Viper" during sieges to Speed Tank bases, after the base dies, you can be the first one to loot the base.
