September 2026 Armless Detective × Retro Tower Defense cross-game event: The Precinct map rewards, investigation modifiers, Player Points shop, and exclusive RTD-themed cosmetics including the Incognito set.
Last updated: September 2026
September 2026 Cross-Game Event
A new Armless Detective collaboration event launched in September 2026, running alongside the Forsaken Collab through early September. This cross-game event between Retro Tower Defense and Armless Detective rewards players who complete content in both titles with exclusive cosmetics that cannot be obtained through standard summoning.
Complete The Precinct map in Retro Tower Defense during the event window to unlock the Incognito hat and Incognito suit in Armless Detective. The Precinct is a new limited-availability map themed around the detective investigation, and modifiers are enabled during the event run.
Armless Detective players who complete the Retro Rift investigation earn Player Points to spend in the RTD collab shop on RTD-themed skins. The event ties directly into the ongoing detective narrative from the May–June 2026 collab while introducing fresh rewards for both player bases.
The Precinct Map and Investigation Mechanics
The Precinct is the central RTD map for this collab, featuring detective-themed layout and enemy paths. Running The Precinct during the event window is the only way to trigger cross-game delivery of Incognito cosmetics to linked Armless Detective accounts.
Event modifiers add variety to The Precinct runs: faster enemy spawns, modified tower restrictions, and unique wave compositions that align with the investigation narrative. Check the map hub for Precinct placement tips before starting your run.
Modifiers reset each day, so daily runs maximize your event progression. The Precinct does not require Hard mode or Endless mode—Normal difficulty clears count toward the reward unlock.
RTD → Armless Detective Rewards
Clearing The Precinct during the event window flags your Roblox account for cross-game cosmetic delivery within 24 hours. The Incognito hat and Incognito suit are detective-disguise staples in Armless Detective and do not affect tower stats in RTD.
These cosmetics were also available during the May–June 2026 Armless Detective collab. Players who already unlocked Incognito during the first run will receive any future collab cosmetics automatically—duplicate unlocks do not stack on the Armless Detective side.
Link your Roblox account to your Armless Detective profile before running The Precinct to ensure smooth delivery. Account linking is handled through Armless Detective settings, not RTD.
Armless Detective → RTD Player Points Shop
Completing the Retro Rift investigation arc in Armless Detective earns Player Points—event-exclusive currency for the RTD collab shop. Points purchase RTD-themed tower skins that never appear on the standard summon banner.
The September 2026 shop refreshes the Kleos and Dominus cosmetics from the May–June collab and may add new variants. Check the Skins hub for the full collab skin catalog and pricing in Player Points.
Unlike Forsaken Tokens which convert to Tix on September 4, collab Player Points from Armless Detective do not have a stated conversion deadline. Spend them in the collab shop before the event window closes.
Forsaken Collab Overlap and Strategy
The Armless Detective collab runs concurrently with the Forsaken Collab (August 21–September 4). Players can progress both events simultaneously: run Forsaken Rift for Tokens and Forsaken Token shop skins, and run The Precinct for Armless Detective cosmetics.
Prioritize Forsaken Token conversion before September 4 if you have leftover Tokens—unlike Player Points, Forsaken Tokens auto-convert to Tix and cannot be spent afterward. Armless Detective Points do not convert, so pace your spending across both shops.
The Events hub has full details on Forsaken Collab rewards, map layouts, and the Token conversion schedule. Cross-reference both event pages to plan your September grind efficiently.
