Effect is that the next beacon you take won't appear for the next 2 challenges after it. The purpose of this beacon is as follows:
- Enables a player to de-sync their aqua from other challenges they want to aqua boost so that they can do the strat they want more consistently.
- Dilutes the pool of beacons so that "blue/purple/yellow" combo will be less-frequent allowing for each player's run to be less 'same-y'.
- indirectly slightly buffs the mission that allows you to get more rerolls by making rerolls have more value.
