Notes

• The appearance of a rift is announced via an on-screen, map-wide message stating "An active disturbance has been detected!"
• If you are within the area (bubble) when the event begins, you will be pushed back and receive five stacks of Confusion.
• Event scaling can lead to multiple incursions and tethered riftstalkers may occur within a single rift event.

Bugs:

• A rift may randomly despawn when the timer reaches 0 seconds, the cause is unknown.
• The rift SE of Noble's Walk does not always occur, causing a cycle of only 4 rift events. This does not appear to correct itself until map reset.
