Wintertide Event Rolls In

Firefall players will have plenty of opportunity to take part in the holiday themed Wintertide Event when it kicks off later today and continues through January 6th. During Wintertide, players can try their hand at Whack-an-Elf or take part in a grand melee snowball fight. Completing Wintertide events makes players eligible for some awesome gifts courtesy of special vendors in Copacabana, Dredge, and Kanaloa Research Station.

• Father Wintertide: Father Wintertide’s rocket sleigh has been shot down by bandit scoundrels and he requires your aid!  Help him by collecting parts to fix his rocket sleigh and defending the presents from the villainous bandits.  Be warned though, these bandits have brought some serious firepower with them and they mean business!
• Snowball Fight: What better way to celebrate Wintertide than rolling up a ball of snow and planting them in your friends’ faces?  To make it official, we’re putting up Snowball Fight arenas all around the world so that you can challenge friends and strangers at any time.  Visit a Snowball Fight arena and let the battles begin!
• Whack an Elf: Admit it, we’ve all thought about bonking these little annoying humanoids from time to time.  Well now you can!  Whack an Elf is a personal game that you can spawn on demand, which will allow you to lay waste to the pesky elves with a festive holiday hammer.  The more of them you wreck, the more points you’ll receive and the more prizes you can get!
