To help celebrate the holidays, we've introduced a Secret Santa event to run alongside our December Raids. We hope you're in the giving mood, players, because 'tis the season! Read on to learn how you can give free UNC gifts to your whole Faction!
Coinciding with the start of the annual Holiday Raid and Sale, Secret Santa will begin on the Thursday at 9:00 AM Pacific, and run until the following Friday at noon.Throughout the event, any time a Faction member makes an in-game purchase of UNC, that purchase will go towards a Faction-wide Secret Santa progress bar. When the progress bar is completed, every Faction member will receive a free gift of 20 UNC from Secret Santa! If you fill the progress bar beyond 100% any extra percentage points will go towards your Faction's next Secret Santa progress bar. Since the holidays are all about giving, there is no limit to the number of gifts that Santa can deliver to your Faction!
It's just that simple! However, there are a few details we want you to be aware of…
Can I take part in Secret Santa if I'm not in a Faction?
No. This event is for Factions only! If you're not a member of a Faction, be sure to join one before the event begins. If you're a leader or officer for your Faction, be sure to recruit a full group of players in order to maximize the gift giving season!
Who can contribute to the progress bar?
Every Faction member can contribute to their communal Secret Santa progress bar, but once a progress bar has been started only players who are already members of the Faction will be able to contribute and earn rewards. If you join a Faction partway through a progress bar, you'll see your bar grayed out. This means you need to wait for the Faction's next progress bar before you can contribute and earn Favor Points! If you do make a purchase while your progress bar is grayed out, don't worry! That purchase will be saved and applied to your Faction's next progress bar… provided you stick around for that bar to appear.
How much UNC will be rewarded?
Each time the bar is filled, Secret Santa will deliver a Loot Case filled with 20 UNC to each eligible member. That means up to 500 UNC can be awarded to a full Faction! Remember, each player will always receive 20 UNC per gift regardless of their contribution to the progress bar, and Factions can earn an unlimited number of gifts throughout the event!
How much UNC is needed to fill the bar?
In keeping with the anonymous spirit of Secret Santa, the total UNC needed to fill the progress bar is secret. If you're interested in doing some math, you can probably discover the answer… but we think Santa's secrets are a fun part of the holiday magic!
