The Abyss Valentine's Day update brought new fish mutations, cosmetics, and two additional questlines. A limited-time merchant named Cupcake appears exclusively in the Valentine's area, which closes on February 28th. Players need to visit before the event ends or lose access to this merchant and the area entirely.
After completing the tutorial, head to the Forgotten Deep Dome, the first major exploration zone in Abyss. Look for pink Valentine's Day flags and heart-shaped decorations between the Harpoon store and Richard at the Bestiary. Walk through these decorations to enter the Valentine's area, where Cupcake and Big Boss are waiting.
Interacting with Cupcake, the Valentine's merchant
Cupcake stands behind a desk on the right side of the Valentine's area. Big Boss sits in a chair to the left. Cupcake sells items exclusive to the Valentine's event. Special weapon skins sit on display racks beside the merchant, while three other items rotate on the table in front. This rotating selection means checking back regularly improves the chances of finding specific items.
Event currency and how to use it
Every purchase from Cupcake requires VTickets, or Valentine's Tickets. Players earn VTickets by catching Valentine's-mutated fish throughout Abyss or by completing the two quests from Big Boss in the Valentine's area. VTickets cannot be used outside the event, so spend them before February 28th or lose them.
Available items and their effects
Cupcake's inventory includes weapon skins, consumables, and event-exclusive collectibles. The Heartbroken Gun is a skin for the Ruined Gun and requires ownership of the base weapon. The Cupid Gun is a skin for the Crossbow Gun and also requires the original weapon. Consumables include potions that temporarily boost stats or tube speed, plus basic oxygen pods that restore oxygen levels. The Heart Geode is a collectible item exclusive to this event. Players should prioritize purchases based on their VTickets balance and the items they need most for gameplay or cosmetics.
Tips for visiting the Valentine's merchant
New players don't need extensive experience in Abyss to access the Valentine's area or Cupcake's offerings. The area is easy to spot, and its proximity to the Forgotten Deep Dome means players can reach it shortly after the tutorial. The merchant's stock rotates, so checking in regularly increases the chances of grabbing desired items. Focus on earning VTickets efficiently through mutated fish or quests to maximize purchases before the event ends.
