Preparations for the celebration of the New Year began in The Last Territories. These days striders recall their adventures in the Burned Restaurant, talk about the difficulties they faced in the Forgotten Graveyard and, of course, gather to celebrate the holiday with friends.
By tradition, before the end of the year, striders carry out general cleaning in the Last Territories to get rid of all unnecessary junk, firstly mutants and bandits. Kill enemies with any weapons to get Challenge points, but recall that killing elks, aberrations and turrets doesn't count. Every round lasts for one day. Dealing all the damage to your enemy with frosty weapons marked with a snowflake icon or by using Cryo Nanites will bring you extra points. Look for these weapons at the strider trader in the Warehouse and in the New Year Camp, a new location which we'll tell about further. You can also get bonus points for each squad mate in the co-op mode. Don't forget that only the player who dealt the maximum damage to the enemy will receive the points!
In 2021, the 25 best players who scored the most points will receive New Year Balls. For these Balls you can exchange chests with loot from the trader in the New Year Camp. Note that players who took 1–10 places will receive Collector's Balls in addition to New Year Balls. You can get special event rewards for them. Recall that the final reward in a round depends on both the points earned and your place in the leaderboard.
In years prior to 2021, you had another opportunity to get new year's gifts besides competing with other players. Killing Charred with melee weapons may earn you Snow Globes, you can exchange them in the event window. To get the Snow Globe you should land at least one last blow at the enemy with a melee weapon.

In 2021, a new safe location, the New Year Camp became available for striders. There you'll find Winter Envoy, who exchanges New Year Balls and Collector's Balls for valuable rewards: festive appearance, frosty weapons and craft resources for new weapons, armor, decorations and the unique Helper. After the challenge ends, you'll have additional time to exchange the Balls and to craft festive items. You'll find the event timer in the craft window. When time runs out all unused Balls and craft resources will be deleted.

In years prior to 2021, a new location, the Krampus Facility, appeared on a global map. Santa's Helpers are waiting for you there. They are specimens from the Twins Facility familiar for some players. They're vulnerable to cold and simplified for low and medium level players. To enter the Facility you’ll need a special key; you'll get three keys right after the start of the competition. You’ll get a key every four hours till you reach the limit of 3 keys. After reaching this limit new free keys will not be issued until you spend at least one of them. In case of death inside the Facility your items will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Facility.
In the Facility Chest you can find supplies, New Year Tattoos, resources to craft the Cryogun and festive food. Killing specimens from the Krampus Facility with range weapons will earn you a large number of competition points. Using the cold range weapons will bring you extra points. |
It is impossible to imagine a holiday without miracles. Winter Guest, a new Helper available for crafting will become a real New Year miracle. Her special passive ability is to reduce the damage dealt by bosses; this effect isn't removed in case of your death. To activate New Year's Miracle you should share New Year Tree Candies with Winter Guest. Look for the Candies at Ensign at the Citadel Outpost. You can decorate your Shelter with special decorations available only during the event. Look for craft resources at Winter Envoy's chests. You'll find Snow Globes required to activate festive decorations at the fireflies in the locations. Look for Knitted Socks at the trader Dealer's on the Pier in the Burned Restaurant.
Only during the event the unique decoration elements for your Shelter are available. The level 1 floor is enough to install New Year Walls, Doors and Windows. Look for them and Lamp Posts in the Challenge rewards! You'll also find themed Frosty weapons among the Challenge rewards. Icehammer Shotgun and Boltgun Glacier are ready for use; but AB-A "Iceshock" rifle, Thunderstorm-A Toros Pincer's Cryothrower should be crafted by yourself. |
The Citadel Corps made a present for all dwellers of the Last Territories and shared the secret of making its perfect armor. Five parts of the Citadel Corps Armor set will increase the damage you deal to bosses, reduce the damage you get from the enemies' special attacks and remove speed penalty when carrying heavy weapons. Full Citadel Corps Armor set blocks Slowdown and Vertigo effects which your enemies can deal.
