[h2]Get a Free Affliction Mystery Box When You Spend Points[/h2]
Until the end of the sale, we’re offering one free Affliction Mystery Box when you spend any amount of points in the store. This means you can purchase a discounted cosmetic effect or any other microtransaction from the store and receive one Affliction Mystery Box as a gift from us. The offer is available on both PC and Consoles.

Please note: it’s only possible to get one free Affliction Mystery Box from this promotion. Making additional microtransaction purchases will not grant additional mystery boxes. Purchasing a supporter pack will not grant a free Mystery Box but spending points from a supporter pack can grant a free Mystery Box.

Players who have unlocked all microtransactions from the Affliction Mystery Box will receive two Midnight Pact Mystery Boxes instead.

This offer will end at 4PM February 5th PST
