Cog invasions
An invasion brings one Cog type to a district’s streets. Use it to find Cogs for ToonTasks and earn bonus Gag experience.
What changes during an invasion?
- One district. Travel to the invaded district to find its Cogs.
- One Cog type. Street spawns use the invading type, making specific Cog tasks easier to work on.
- Double Gag experience. Invasions give a Gag training bonus. This is separate from Cog suit promotion currency.
- A limited duration. An invasion ends when its quota of Cogs is cleared or when it times out, whichever comes first. A busy district clears one fast.

Reading the tracker
- The clock is calculated, not reported. TTR’s feed carries no end time, so the tracker works it out from the invasion’s size and how fast its quota is falling. A rush of players ends one early.
- Invasions are not priced against facilities. A facility’s payout is learned from your own runs. Invasion streets pay per Cog defeated — including v2.0 and Skelecog invasions — and the tracker has no measured rate for that, so it does not compare the two.
- The log is history, not a schedule. Invasions run to no timetable. Past sightings say where a Cog has been, not when it returns.
