Hello players!
As we raise our glasses to toast the remarkable 7th anniversary of our beloved battlegrounds, we're not just reminiscing about the epic battles, the heart-stopping moments, and the camaraderie that has blossomed within our community. We're also ushering in celebratory decors where the cake isn't a lie, cupcakes become your new favorite ammo, and the sky lights up not with danger but with dazzling fireworks!
We're also rolling out an array of events and rewards - from a web event, to Special Drops, screenshot event, and not forgetting the exclusive Partner Drops that bring an extra layer of excitement to the festivities.
Here's the scoop on the digital bash of the year:
Party on the Battlegrounds
7th Anniversary Gift Box and Cupcakes
What's a celebration without the delights of cake and cupcakes? In the spirit of festivity, we've scattered gigantic gift boxes across the starting islands, waiting to be unwrapped before the match kicks off.
Begin by gathering cupcakes sprinkled around the starting island, then toss them at a gift box for a delightful surprise. It's our way of saying, "Thanks for sticking with us through every thrilling drop and heart-pounding showdown."
- Accessible on the starting islands of Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Taego, Deston, Rondo, Paramo, and Karakin.
- Gift boxes and cupcakes will vanish the moment a match starts.
Sky-High Celebrations with Anniversary Fireworks
Let's start this party with a bang! As your aircraft hovers on the brink of battle, look out for a fireworks display that's sure to make your jaw drop (before you, quite literally, do). It's a spectacle that turns the sky into a canvas of celebration, momentarily distracting you from the impending adrenaline rush.
- Fireworks will go off before the option to drop from the plane becomes available.
- Starting planes will also bear anniversary banners.
Party Makeovers for Erangel
We've given some of our iconic locations a party makeover, transforming Erangel's school and cafeterias into vibrant venues with 7th-anniversary-themes.
Fancy hitting a jackpot? Our cafeterias' vending machines are feeling generous, offering a 7% chance to dispense a reward of seven Energy Drinks, all dressed up in anniversary finery. Because if anything's worth celebrating, it's the chance to keep pushing forward, fueled by more than just sheer will.
- Vending machines are interactable using the interaction key.
A Festive Facelift
- Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Taego, Deston, Rondo, Paramo, and Karakin are adorned with an array of anniversary decorations. Billboards and digital screens light up, among other celebratory additions.
- Care Packages are also wrapped in the spirit of celebration.
