Big Time's Christmas in July Brings Back Rare Items and Huge Rewards

Big Time is getting festive way ahead of schedule. The studio just kicked off its “Christmas in July” event, and it’s a big one. There’s a huge prize pool of $BIGTIME tokens waiting. If you like holiday vibes and you’re into winning crypto, this is something you’ll want to check out.

Christmas Comes Early in Big Time

Big Time is a third-person action RPG. You explore dungeons, fight enemies, and collect loot. You can go solo or play with friends. What makes Big Time stand out is its player-driven economy and web3 features. The game is powered by Open Loot, a platform that supports other web3 titles like Moonfrost and Boss Fighters. You can trade in-game NFTs on its marketplace using crypto or regular money.

You can play Big Time for free during its Open Access period. Just download the launcher from the official site. It’s available only for Windows PCs for now. There’s no confirmed release date for the Epic Games Store yet.

To fully unlock the play-to-earn experience, you’ll need NFTs. The most important ones are SPACE (virtual land) and Workshops. These let you craft items using $BIGTIME tokens and in-game resources. If you’re interested in joining the event, you’ll need these NFTs to participate.

This event is centered upon crafting. In order to gain points and move up the scoreboard, players compete. A total of 1.2 million $BIGTIME tokens will be divided to the top 200 participants. The winner of first place receives $50,000 (around $2625) in $BIGTIME.

The event began on July 2 and will conclude at 6 PM UTC on July 28. The 2024 Christmas Event's rare armor and weapons are returning. You can now earn points with these items. Additionally, snowflakes are back as the currency for the seasonal event. You can purchase them in the marketplace or earn them by playing. In order to create Christmas-themed goods and get points on the scoreboard, snowflakes are required.

For the first time, all the special event items are available to craft from the start. You also get to choose how you craft. You can use only $BIGTIME tokens or combine them with Time Crystals. Time Crystals can be bought straight from the game or obtained in-game as premium, non-crypto cash.

Even though crafting options are open, supplies are limited. Each recipe has a cap. If you want to secure a top spot, you’ll need to start crafting early and often. The good news is that both crafting paths have their own separate supply pools. Developers will update the available supply throughout the event.

Weekly Challenge #1 Is Live

Weekly challenges give you a chance to earn bonus points. The first one runs until July 7 at 6 PM UTC. You must create two Snowgrims Starcleaver of the Cascading Eclipse and open two Scarecrow chests. Opening the chests gives you 1500 points. Crafting the items gets you 15,000 points. That kind of score can quickly push you into the top ranks.

New players can join by downloading the Open Loot Launcher and making an account. You’ll need to buy SPACE and a few Workshops to start crafting. The cheapest SPACE (Rare Small) costs about $6.80. A Common Smoldering Forge and Shrouded Armory each cost around $1.35.

Better Workshops give access to rarer items. Rarer items are worth more points. You can buy everything through the platform using crypto like USDC or regular payments via Moonpay, Coinbase, or Ramp.

You can begin creating and moving up the scoreboard as soon as your NFTs and $BIGTIME tokens are prepared. Verify that your computer satisfies the minimal system requirements:

• OS: Windows 10
• CPU: Intel Core i5 4430 or AMD FX 6300
• RAM: 8 GB
• GPU: GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 560
• Storage: 50 GB

Last month, Big Time hosted a similar crafting event called “It’s Almost Summer.” That event had a 600k $BIGTIME prize pool. The new event has doubled the rewards and opened new ways to craft. If you want to win crypto and enjoy some early holiday fun, this event is for you.
