HV-MTL Forge is now live. Your mission: help your HV unlock its next evolution.

Your HV is relying on you to get rare upgrades and evolve into an Evo2.

You’ll do this by keeping your HV happy while building the ultimate forge, as voted on by discerning degens — your fellow HV holders.

Before we dive into specifics, take a minute to watch the gameplay trailer below.

You can now search via HV ID using the Amp Checker site here to be displayed the AMP that is attached to that HV ID.

HV-MTL Forge is a game that starts as a casual world builder and pet game and ends as a competitive dungeon crawler. Originally summoned as mysterious little cubes called Power Sources, the HVs of the HV-MTL collection are now in their Evo1 state. Your HV is relying on you to earn up to 6 powerful upgrades for its Evo2 form.

At least 3 of these powerful upgrades known as AMPs will be needed for your HV to reach its Evo2 state, and any HV that participates in a season (regardless of rank) will earn an AMP.

Daily voting by other HV holders will determine your seasonal leaderboard ranking. The seasonal ranking will ultimately decide the rarity of the AMP you earn. HV-MTL Forge will last for 6 seasons giving players 6 chances at upgrades. 

Once the 3rd season comes to a close, HV’s with the required energy will be able to enter The Rift. 

Before you ape into the Forge, make sure to review the Game Guide and FAQ released earlier this week for all the details on how to best care for and build with your HV.

Not reading all that? Both the HV-MTL Forge explainer and Leaderboard breakdown videos can be found below. Still have questions after watching both? Head on over to the official BAYC discord.

Since it’s your first time logging into Yuga Labs News, you’ll need to complete a quick security setup before you can proceed. Tap GET STARTED and you’ll be prompted to make up an authentication phrase and upload an authentication image to associate with your account.

If this isn't your first time, you might be seeing this because it's your first time visiting from this device or you may have recently cleared your cookies.

Going forward, these elements can act as a cue to help you confirm that you're connecting to a genuine Yuga Labs site. But, you should not rely only on this cue - continue following all security best practices when determining whether to interact with this site! You’ll see both your phrase and image every time you log into Yuga Labs News, but not anywhere else. Even if a malicious site looks exactly like a Yuga domain, your browser (unless a bad actor has access to it) will only display your unique phrase and image on the Yuga domain.

Your phrase should be specific and meaningful to you. Something you'd recognize if shown again. Do not use a common term or saying that would be low-hanging fruit for a scam site to put up. A simple statement like "Rocky road ice cream is really good" or "I love singing in the shower" are good examples.

Never share your security phrase with others!

This image can be anything, but make sure this it is something you'll recognize, just like your phrase. This is the second key to help you confirm that you’re connecting to a genuine Yuga Labs site.

If you want to change your phrase or image, this is your last chance to do so. If you’re happy with them, tap CONFIRM AND SAVE to complete your security setup and continue on to Yuga Labs News.
