gen:LOCKED and Loaded Weekend

Our gen:LOCK update has taken the Realm by storm these last few weeks. To celebrate, we’re giving you free Crystals for playing and 2X Event Pass XP!

[h2]How do you get these rewards?[/h2]

Play any 2 of the same game modes to get one of the 4 rewards every day.
Example: Playing 2 (non-bot) games of Team Deathmatch in a row (win or loss) will grant you 5 Crystals.

Players will be able to earn up to 20 Crystals per day if you play all 4 modes 2 times in a row. You MUST play 2 (non-bot) games of each Siege, Team Deathmatch, Onslaught, and Ranked to receive all 20. If you receive all 4 rewards daily you will end up with 80 Crystals at the end of the event!

This is the ultimate way to level up your Crossover Pass for gen:LOCK and save up some extra Crystals for the Nightfall Event Pass coming in our Trickshot Update later in September.
