Happy Holidays, Hunters!

The event lasts from the 6th of December to the 20th of December, featuring the usual Campaign, Mission but 5 Competitions. On the mission pop-up (use the banner in the launcher or on the website), you’ll see a bar for community prizes. Harvest at least 30 reindeer to qualify, slaughter more to fill the bar and gain all your prizes. You do not need to play in multi or single-player, it’s up to you how you do your slaying. Gender does not matter. Any reindeer will count.

While you’re hunting, keep an eye out for our visitors from Iceland. They’re rare, but you might just find a Yule Cat while you’re roaming Hemmeldal. Don’t worry, they’ve promised to be nice.

Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! All hunters with enough reindeer at the end of December 20th will win Community Prizes!

No Santas were harmed in the making of this Event.

The more Reindeer you harvest, the more in-game prizes you are rewarded. Reindeer includes all fur variations. This is how the prize pool looks:

MISSION

This year’s mission is called Away in Hemmeldal

Hemmeldal is the only reserve that really gets into the holiday spirit, so let’s spend our time there, shall we? I’ve got a nice list of items for you to pick up and an even better set of rewards for getting them. Don’t worry, you have 2 weeks and they’re not that hard. That being said, while you’re out there, we have one special holiday guest that you might want to keep an eye out for. There aren’t many, so getting one really will be something special. You can spot a Yule Lynx by its spiffy new sweater, worn as a promise not to engage in their usual man-eating activities. They’re not a requirement, but we wish you the best of luck getting one this holiday season.

The mission will last through the event’s duration from the 6th of December to the 20th of December.

Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:

COMPETITIONS

There are 5 comps to sink your teeth into, but remember that since this is the co-op style event, completion only gets you a fluffy, snowflakey feeling. (Snowflakey is now a word, if Shakespeare gets to make up words, the rest of us do too!)

Prizes for the competitions look like this:

Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:

RULES

What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners’ hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.

SALES

And what would an Event be without sales? We’re not sure, but we do know that we’d get nasty messages if we skipped them, so we’ve made sure to put sales in.
