The "Philosopher's Stone" Event

PvP Mode: "Head Hunt"

Basic Rules

This mode is a mix of "Team Deathmatch" and "Survival." Your main objective: by the end of the match, accumulate and hold onto more tokens than the opposing team.

Each participant starts the battle with one token. If a player is defeated, a token with a counter appears in their place, showing how many they lost. The player who picks up the token increases their personal and team counters.

What you need to know about tokens?

  • When defeated, a player loses half of the tokens they had. Each time they respawn, they receive one bonus token.

  • If a player with one token is defeated by their own doing (e.g., suicide/fall), the token will drop, but a new one won't be awarded until the player is defeated by an enemy.

  • If a player leaves the battle early, they lose all the tokens they had.

  • Depending on the number of tokens dropped by a player, the color of the token at the elimination site changes: 1–9 (Red), 10–14 (Purple), 15 and above (Gold).

After being defeated, players will respawn at points free of enemies or close to allies. Dynamic spawn points will prevent "base camping" and allow participants to move freely around the map.

Keep in mind that you won't be able to hoard a large number of tokens and hide from opponents until the end of the battle: upon accumulating over 29 tokens, the player's silhouette will begin to glow and become visible even through walls. This will be noticeable to both enemies and allies. Protect each other: if a teammate is defeated and an opponent manages to grab their token, the course of the battle can completely change in a matter of seconds!

Matches are played in a 6v6 format on the "Pyramid 2037" and "Bridges 2037" maps.

Event Special Operations

For completing Special Operations on any difficulty level, in addition to Crowns, you will receive event currency. The amount of currency you can earn by completing missions is unlimited — event currency is awarded for each playthrough. But remember, the main source of farming event currency is the PvP mode, where you can earn more coins in less time!

Showcase Special Rewards

The "Alchemist" Series

By collecting all the cards, you'll add new guns from the "Alchemist" series to your arsenal: Beretta ARX160, PA Garibaldi 12GA, SIG MPX Copperhead, Sabatti STR

After the event ends, all Black Market coins in your account will expire. Don't forget to spend what you've earned!

Guaranteed Prizes

By completing special event contracts and earning Reputation Points, you will receive a set of unique achievements.

Special Contracts

Log into the game every day, complete contract tasks, and earn currency and Reputation Points. Remember that Reputation Points can only be obtained by completing contracts, and they are needed to earn progression rewards. Contracts are weekly — after completion, they disappear and reappear every Wednesday.

Good luck in your battles!
