The annual Winterfest operational cycle has commenced within the Battle Royale environment, initiating the usual protocol of map alterations, unique gameplay parameters, and, crucially, a cascade of free cosmetic and experience assets. This document serves as a detailed breakdown of the available quest lines, required procedures, and the specific rewards targeted for acquisition before the termination date of January 5.
Operational Status Update: As of the current deployment phase (December 20), only the first two drops of the primary Winterfest Quests are active. Subsequent drops are scheduled for periodic release.
Phase I: The Winterfest Protocol Quests (Battle Royale Focus)
The primary quest track is designated for Battle Royale mode and is structured in four time-gated segments. Successful completion of each individual task yields a standard return of 12,000 XP. While the existence of a grand final reward remains unconfirmed in the current data stream, the cumulative experience gain is substantial.
Drop 1: Operation `Gift to the Stars`
This initial phase centers on a new ephemeral item known as the Perfect Gift, which appears to be a common byproduct of chest retrieval operations.
- Task 1: Collect a Perfect Gift from a chest.
Upon opening any standard chest, there is a probability of retrieving a Perfect Gift. Note that this item does not occupy an inventory slot, allowing for seamless acquisition and storage for subsequent tasks. The quest triggers upon collection.
- Task 2: Bring a Perfect Gift to any character.
The second requirement is the successful delivery of the Perfect Gift to a non-hostile NPC unit on the map. The system accepts any available character. For efficient triangulation, operators are advised to utilize the `Characters` tab on the map interface to locate the nearest recipient.
- Task 3: Damage Yule Trooper or any other boss (500 points).
This mandate requires the application of 500 damage points to a designated boss NPC. It is critical to differentiate between the true Boss NPC and players utilizing a boss token for disguise; only the authentic NPC entity will contribute to the damage total.
Drop 2: Operation `Passion for Presents`
This drop escalates the complexity of gift delivery and introduces unique movement requirements.
- Task 1: Bring a Prefect Gift to The Bride, Carter Wu, or Kingston.
This is a targeted delivery mission, requiring the agent to interface specifically with one of three designated NPCs. The Bride is situated at Sandy Strip; Carter Wu is a hireable NPC at Latte Landing; and Kingston can be found near the coastal area of Bumpy Bay. Select the optimal route based on proximity and threat assessment.
- Task 2: Travel 60 distance with Icy Feet.
The Icy Feet is a tactical movement item designed for rapid traversal across surfaces. Given its quick activation and low distance requirement (60 units), this task is considered low-difficulty and should be completed rapidly upon acquiring the item.
- Task 3: Search 5 chests at Clawsy Lodge or Tiptop Terrace.
These two points of interest flank the Wonkeeland zone. Standard operational procedure applies: locate and open five (5) chests. Note that supplementary containers, such as ammo crates or vegetable boxes, do not qualify for this objective.
Phase II: The Squad Up! Initiative and the Starbrite Slasher
In addition to the main objectives, an auxiliary quest line—the Squad Up! Initiative—focuses on resource accumulation within Squads, Reload, OG, or Blitz modes. The target resource is the Shiny Llama, a collectible that drops randomly from high-value sources.
Acquisition Protocol: Shiny Llamas
Shiny Llamas have a probability of deployment when opening rare chests, supply drops, or upon the neutralization of enemy players or NPCs. For every 100 Shiny Llamas collected, the squad receives 12,000 XP, with a hard cap at 1,000 collected units. Crucially, the collection is squad-wide: Llamas secured by any member are logged for all four participants, simplifying the resource gathering process.
The Primary Cosmetic Target: Starbrite Slasher
The strategic objective of this initiative is the acquisition of the Starbrite Slasher pickaxe. This item, which has reportedly been resident in the game’s asset files for approximately two years, is finally accessible. Retrieval requires a cumulative collection of 400 Shiny Llamas.
For agents who previously acquired the Brite Agent skin via the Lego starter pack, this pickaxe represents the required missing component to complete the designated set—a technical necessity that should, perhaps, have been addressed sooner in the product life cycle.
All assets and XP rewards associated with the Winterfest 2025 event must be secured prior to the January 5 termination window. Proceed with efficiency and minimal operational wastage.
