New Classes: Brute & Explorer
Two fresh classes hit the shop with the new 99 Nights in the Forest Christmas, bought with diamonds (stock rotates daily). You can level them up by hitting milestones like enemy taunts or fog clears for escalating perks. These are perfect for event grinding so here is an overview for both of them.
Brute (2 Star Rarity, 50 Diamonds)
Brute is ideal for tanking entity swarms during your gift runs:
-
Starter Gear: Brute Shield for blocking hits.
-
Level 1: Shield pulls aggro from foes, drawing attacks to you.
-
Level 2 (Taunt 10 enemies): Taunted enemies hit softer.
-
Level 3 (Taunt 25 enemies): Upgrade to Obsidiron Shield and charge forward for area shockwaves.
Explorer (3 Star Rarity, 80 Diamonds)
Explorer boosts event efficiency just by spotting more gifts and houses quickly.
-
Starter Gear: Compass + expanded map view.
-
Level 1: +2 inventory slots; sprint boost post-fog reveal; wider fog-clear radius.
-
Level 2 (Explore 5km): Hunger ticks slower off-campfire.
-
Level 3 (Open 50 chests): Speed-open chests; wall-vision on nearby ones.
Christmas Event: Step-by-Step Walkthrough
In the Christmas event, you will follow a simple loop where you hunt for gifts in the forest, deliver them to the correct houses, and earn a special holiday currency. This currency is only available during the event and disappears after December 28. As you progress, you unlock new tasks automatically and you can also turn into a snowman for fun bonuses.
And here is how the event works:
-
Enter Forest: When you enter the forest you will see glowing piles of gifts. Earlier nights have fewer piles and you will notice more of them as you keep playing.
-
Collect & Deliver: You need to pick up a gift and take it to the house shown on your screen. If you deliver it correctly, you receive holiday currency and a short boost. One of the boosts lets you become a snowman which helps you hide and move around more safely.
-
Daily Claims: Make sure to visit the event shop every day because it gives free items that help you progress faster.
-
Stage Progression: Each stage unlocks after you complete a set number of deliveries. Stage 3 becomes tougher because some entities appear and try to block you. If you want smoother progress you can use Explorer for quick spotting and Brute for safe carrying.
Winter Forest Rework
The updated winter forest no longer has freezing damage. You are free to walk around and gather resources or search for event locations without any warm gear. The falling snow and soft visuals make the area feel more immersive, and you can hunt for Volcanic loot without interruptions.
Festive Map & Entity Overhauls
The whole world has received a holiday makeover:
-
Lobby: You can now see deep snow, bright decorations, garlands, and friendly snowmen. The whole place feels like a holiday camping site.
-
Forest: The forest is covered in snowfall, glowing trees, and warm looking lights.
-
Entities: Deer → Reindeer; Owl → Elf; Ram → Santa aide. Bats remain the same inside caves for a spooky atmosphere.
Event Shop & Top Rewards
The event shop uses the holiday currency you earn from deliveries and it refreshes every day. You can spend your currency on:
-
Special limited holiday classes and skins.
-
Decorations for your base such as trees and lights
-
Rare skins that stay unlocked after the event, so you should aim for these first.
Active Diamond Codes
Other than these all 99 Nights in the Forest Christmas updates, you will also get some diamond codes to be collected as redeem codes. You can redeem them via lobby > Diamonds icon > Codes button. Remember that the fish code needs Level 2 campfire with an active cast.
