The latest A Dusty Trip update introduces several new features inspired by the St. Patrick’s event. This update adds a new currency system, a boss fight, special items, weapons, and a brand-new vehicle that players can unlock.
A Dusty Trip St. Patrick’s Update Guide – Beetle Car, Items
From the Clover Shop to the Fortune Tree boss, there is a lot to explore in this update. This guide explains everything added and how to unlock the new rewards.
Clover Shop Explained
One of the biggest additions is the Clover Shop, which appears in the lobby.
This shop contains multiple new items that can be unlocked using leaf currency, a special event currency obtained during gameplay.
The shop includes:
- Cosmetics
- Utility items
- Weapons
- A vehicle reward
If you scroll through the shop menu, you will eventually find the Beetle Car, which is one of the most exciting rewards from the update.
New Weapons
The update introduces several new weapons that can be obtained through the Clover Shop or during gameplay.
Potato Cannon
The Potato Cannon is a quirky weapon that fires large projectiles.
While it is fun to use, its damage output is relatively low. It typically takes two shots to defeat a basic mutant, and it only holds a small amount of ammo.
R3M SMG
This weapon resembles an MP5-style firearm.
It has lower damage per shot but makes up for it with high ammo capacity and rapid fire. It works well against basic enemies.
Pistol
The pistol functions as a simple starter weapon.
It usually takes around three shots to defeat a basic mutant, making it similar in power to the Potato Cannon but easier to control.
Grenades
Grenades are extremely effective for clearing multiple enemies.
When thrown into a group of mutants, they can eliminate several enemies instantly without damaging the player.
New Items and Their Effects
The Clover Shop also introduces several items that provide helpful gameplay effects.
Leaf Item
This item provides leaf currency, which is the main event currency used to unlock rewards.
Lucky Clover
The Lucky Clover increases the chance of item drops, making it easier to obtain valuable loot during gameplay.
Horseshoe
The Horseshoe acts as a life-saving charm.
It allows the player to survive one otherwise lethal attack.
Dice
The dice item instantly restores the player’s health when used.
Clover Cookie
This item restores the player’s hunger bar to maximum, helping maintain stamina and survival.
Clover Cookie Hat
The hat is a special cosmetic item with an interesting ability.
When activated, it summons temporary minions that fight enemies.
These minions:
- Attack nearby mutants
- Last about 60 seconds
- Can be summoned up to 10 times
While the minions are entertaining to use, they are not extremely powerful and mainly serve as distractions.
Leaf Currency System
Leaf currency is obtained through gameplay activities.
One of the main ways to collect it is by interacting with mutant pods.
When you defeat mutants and bring their bodies to the pod, it drops leaf tokens. Collecting these tokens increases your event currency.
This currency is then used in the Clover Shop.
Fortune Tree Boss Fight
The update also introduces a new boss called the Fortune Tree.
Before fighting the boss, players must complete a preparation phase.
Step 1 – Clear the Area
First, defeat all mutants guarding the tree. Some enemies drop special items needed to summon the boss.
Step 2 – Collect Golden Leaves
Some enemies drop Golden Leaves.
You must collect four Golden Leaves.
Step 3 – Activate the Podiums
Place the four Golden Leaves on the podiums surrounding the tree.
Once all four are placed, a short animation plays and the Fortune Tree boss emerges from the ground.
Fortune Tree Boss Mechanics
The Fortune Tree has several dangerous abilities.
Teleport Attack
If you try to run away from the boss, it can teleport behind you instantly.
Coin Attack
The boss can throw coins that deal damage to nearby players.
Minion Summon
It can spawn additional enemies during the fight.
Healing Mechanic
One of the most important mechanics is the boss’s healing ability.
If players deal too much damage too quickly, the boss heals a large portion of its health.
Because of this, using extremely powerful weapons like miniguns can actually make the fight harder.
Instead, using moderate damage weapons such as rifles is a better strategy.
Beam Attack
The boss occasionally activates a dangerous beam attack.
Players must keep moving during this phase. If stamina runs out while trying to escape the beam, it can result in instant death.
Boss Rewards
Once the Fortune Tree boss is defeated, players receive leaf currency and other possible rewards.
This currency can then be spent in the Clover Shop.
Beetle Car (Free Vehicle)
One of the most exciting rewards in the update is the Beetle Car.
This car can be unlocked after collecting enough leaf currency.
Vehicle Features
- Four seats
- No roof design
- Fast acceleration
- Good top speed
- Decent fuel efficiency
The car accelerates extremely quickly and reaches top speed within a short distance.
Performance
Acceleration: Very fast
Top Speed: High
Braking Distance: Around 70 meters
Fuel Consumption: Roughly 0.3 liters per 1000 meters
Overall, the Beetle Car is one of the better vehicles available in the game.
