Christmas 2019 In-Game Event
Christmas Event: Festive Extravaganza
With the festive season in full swing, we're happy to announce the release of our Christmas Event along with several quality of life changes. During the event you’ll be able to earn a wide variety of unique cosmetic seasonal rewards whilst deceiving in our festively decorated maps!
How to gain the new rewards:
Want to go after all the exclusive Christmas rewards? All you need to do is play Deceit as you normally would, and the XP you gain turns into Christmas Event points; earn enough and you’ll unlock some sweet rewards. Fret not, all XP boosts will also increase the amount of points you earn!
Lastly, there will be a special loot booth token available during the holiday. Each loot booth reward comes with a number of Christmas event points based on its tier, meaning that even common unlocks can help you chase down those legendary Christmas rewards.
What are the new rewards?
This year’s event rewards are visible on the event screen which is available in the top left of the main menu. You can also use this to track your progress towards the next reward and your overall progress throughout the event.
The rewards and their costs are as follows: ‘Christmas Tree’ Emblem - 750 points
Wreath Wristband - 3,750 points
‘Poorly’ Hans - 9,500 points
‘Be Quiet’ Rachel Victory Pose - 17,250 points
‘Antler’ Weapon - 26,750 points
‘Under the Mistletoe’ Emblem - 35,250 points
‘Red Velvet’ NiNa - 47,500 points
‘Candle’ Pistol - 75,000 points

‘On Santas Shoulders’ Alex - 300,000 points
‘Krampus’ Werewolf - 500,000 points
‘Christmas Bunny’ Emblem - 1,000,000 points
Christmas Tokens
Christmas Tokens will replace normal tokens for the duration of the event in both level up rewards and through token purchases (they will not replace the tokens awarded from the Werewolf and Vampire Packs).
To spend Christmas Tokens simply go to the loot booth as normal and select a Christmas Token to give to the shady dealer.
Previous Christmas Rewards – In the loot booth for a limited time!
In addition to these rewards, previous Christmas seasons’ rewards will be available in the loot booth for the duration of the event when using a Christmas token! This gives you the chance to expand your inventory with a bunch of seasonal cosmetics available for a limited time only.
