Story for the event

For the first time, the Traitor’s Moon event will also contain some story elements that can be unlocked during the event.

During the event, you’ll be able to unlock 15 story parts where you’ll learn a bit more about the character.

How to earn event points

You can earn up to 10,000 event points in total. You have to do different things in the game, which are different from the normal gameplay.

  • Small trophies – 4 points
  • Normal trophies – 8 points
  • Opening event clues & rifts – 12 points

Early Access Weapons

There are a total of four weapons that can be unlocked as part of the event. The “early access” part refers to the fact that the weapons will only be available through event progress for the time being.

Only after an update in the future – when exactly is not yet known – they will be unlockable regularly.
