"Anomalous Blizzard" Γ— Twitch-drops

[h3]In order to receive rewards for watching streams, the first thing you need to do is link your EXBO and Twitch accounts.[/h3]



πŸ“‹ Detailed instructions on how to link your account.

[h2]Twitch-drops marathons[/h2]

Starting on Friday, 07.04, there will be 12-hour Twitch-drops marathons for 7 days.

⏱ Marathons are held in the following time frames:


From 02:00 pm to 02:00 am

From 02:00 am to 02:00 pm


[hr][/hr]
[h2]How to receive Twitch-drops[/h2]
As previously, rewards are awarded for the time spent watching streams on the channels of the participants. The progress of the marathon includes the viewing of various streams.

If you watch several streams simultaneously, only the progress from the last opened channel counts.



The peculiarity of the marathons is the consecutive receiving of rewards for a limited time. The viewing time between marathons is not transferred, so in each new marathon you will receive gifts starting from the first one.

Therefore, the last award is awarded after 10 hours of watching live broadcasts.

[h2]List of Twitch-drops rewards[/h2]

When receiving a reward, you will randomly receive one of the items. The following are all possible gifts depending on the level of the reward.

That's all for now,
Good luck hunting for Twitch drops!

"Anomalous Blizzard 2023"



The traditional temporal event is back in STALCRAFT. The confrontation between the people and the mysterious adepts of the "Blizzard" flares up with new force now on the expanses of the Shevchenko State Farm.

Protect the heating installations and do not allow the adepts to spread the anomalous frost! Also the storyline will send you to new adventures with familiar faces. And of course, all heroes are entitled to unique themed rewards!

[h3]Preparation for the Blizzard[/h3]

Anomalous frosts, accompanied by a regular local cataclysm - "Anomalous Blizzard" fell on the location "Shevchenko State Farm".

A detailed description of the game event can be found
in the Support Center article.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]The storyline[/h2]



The Frost fighters, led by Horilka, have once again united in their fight against the Blizzard creatures. Read the Frost fighters' agitational poster at the Bar for details.

[h2]In-game store[/h2]



There will be new bundles available in the store during the "Anomalous Blizzard" as well as active promotions on cases and keys!

[h3]Styles[/h3]

Styles are a special type of skins that change the appearance of armor or weapons without affecting the characteristics of the item.



Like the camos, the styles are used in the gear modification window.
But just like the armor attachments, they can be freely removed anytime.

Without the attachments/With customized attachments:

The 3D-Skin of the weapon can also modify the applied attachments: handguard, magazine, receiver cover, etc.


All styles are personal upon receiving.

[h3]The case with the styles of the "Anomalous Blizzard"[/h3]

In the in-game store you can find limited edition cases with themed styles. Cases are available for purchase in both personal and transferable types.



This is the first case on which we decided to test the system of guaranteed rewards and clearly show the chances of obtaining prizes.

Time to purchase the case is limited. The Anomalous Blizzard styles are only available in this limited case.

[h3]Battle Pass[/h3]

Participating in Blizzard awards you Battle Pass points based on the amount of points you earn.



On some levels you will receive Battle Pass currency - "Frozen Bones". You can spend them on any safe zone at a themed merchant.

As usual, you can purchase a Battle Pass both as a personal and as a transferable one.



Unused Battle Passes will automatically expire 30 days after purchase in the in-game store.

[hr][/hr]
[h2]Weekly quests[/h2]



Some quests are combined into one. If before there was a random quest to kill dogs, boars or bloodsuckers, now there is one quest to kill several mutants of each species. There is also a small reward for each step of the weekly quest.

Reduced the number of required quest items from events. Now you need to bring two items of each type to complete a stage.

[h3]Quests[/h3]


"Anomalous Formations"

  • You can now complete in any location.
  • Items drop from the events "Anomalous Rift" and "Defending Anomalous Installation".



"Cat and Mouse"

  • Changed the title to "Limansk Raid".
  • Now instead of three chimeras you need to eliminate three Limansk bosses.
