Nexon announced on the 1st that the Season 38 'Healing Drive' update for KartRider Rush+ is now live. This update brings pastoral tracks, a fleet of new karts, characters, and pets, alongside a suite of Rush Farm content and celebratory events.

Under the theme of 'Time where the track scenery offers solace,' Healing Drive introduces a slew of nature-inspired tracks and items. The 'Desert Grand Refinery' track joins the roster today, with 'Olympus Styx Express' set to arrive on the 16th. As for the hardware, seven new karts hit the tarmac, including highlight models 'Airy Cotton' and 'Greenery Cotton', speed-focused 'Lapis Solid', and item-focused 'Kartrash' and 'Golden Tractor'. To round things out, four new characters like 'Charlotte' and 'Gardener Dizni', plus five new pets including 'Dachshund' and 'Goose King', have entered the fray.

The Rush Farm also sees a functional overhaul with the new 'Land Upgrade' feature, allowing players to boost production efficiency permanently. Provided you’ve hit the required farm level and have the necessary farm coins, you can upgrade your land—so long as it’s currently empty. This doubles production output and provides a nifty boost to farm EXP.

Furthermore, the farm level cap has been bumped to 135, the ranch to 46, and fishing depth to 50m, all designed to squeeze out more resources and experience. A new 'Farmers' perk has also been introduced, allowing for rapid harvests and simultaneous cultivation to shave off precious time.

New modes are also making an appearance. From May 12th to the 26th, players can dive into the 'Find the Culprit' mode. Nexon is also shifting their mode rotation to a weekly cycle: expect casual modes during the work week, with Relay and Flag modes taking over on the weekends.

To mark the occasion, Nexon is hosting a variety of events. By completing daily login and ranked match missions through the 12th, players can snag rewards like the 'Lettuce Balloon' and a permanent 'Baby Sheep Aura'. Additionally, a ranked match buff event will run from the 4th to the 5th, rewarding participants with 2 bonus points.
