The poll results are in. Statistics across all regions broke down as follows:
• Guaranteed acquisition method — 47%;
• Similar to other Inside Out artefacts — 37%;
• Do not add Rubik — 16%.
Statistics for individual regions align with the overall results, with only minor percentage differences. In total, over 40 000 players participated in the poll.
We see that the choice wasn't clear-cut: opinions were mostly split between two acquisition methods for Rubik. Therefore, we've decided to combine both approaches.
Rubik can now be obtained through the following methods:
• Rubik fragments drop from Сentrifuges and can also be found in the Open World after eruptions from anomalies in Inside Out zones. These fragments can be converted into a complete Rubik using Burnt Onyx.
• There is also a chance to obtain a complete Rubik directly from Сentrifuges.
This allows every player to choose the acquisition path that suits them best. These changes will take effect on Wednesday, 22.04.2026. More details will be available in the patch notes.
Please note: when acquiring Rubik fragments, the artefact will immediately become bound and untradable. When obtaining Rubik from a Centrifuge, the artefact becomes bound and untradable after it has been studied.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll!
