NEW HOLIDAY UPDATE !
Hello explorers!
We’re happy to announce a brand-new holiday update, featuring a limited-time Christmas mini level available until January 10th.
Gather your friends, because this event is multiplayer-only and built for chaotic fun and competition!
LIMITED-TIME CHRISTMAS EVENT
A festive mini level where players compete to collect hidden gifts scattered across the map.
How it works:
Players must find and deliver gifts to the Christmas tree.
The first player to deliver 5 gifts wins the match.
Players can throw snowballs at each other to temporarily freeze opponents.
Beware of the Christmas Elf:
If it sees you, it will chase you until it kills you.
The only way to repel it is by shining your flashlight directly at it.
Be careful — elfs can also steal gifts from players when you least expect it.
This level is available for a limited time only and can only be played in multiplayer.
REWARDS
You can unlock up to 3 special limited-time rewards by winning the Christmas event!
