TL;DR
- Holiday event ran from December 23, 2025, to January 12, 2026, on Teardrop Island.
- Introduced a time-limited seasonal currency (Tickets) for event-exclusive rewards.
- Combined in-game scavenger hunts with Twitch and Discord for cross-platform engagement.
The Off The Grid Merry Killmas Celebration ran from December 23, 2025, to January 12, 2026, on Teardrop Island, delivering a holiday-themed festival of gameplay and rewards. According to EGamers.io, the event introduced a seasonal currency, a new Ranked Mode, and multiple player-facing mechanics designed to drive engagement across streaming, community and in-game economies.
EGamers.io staged the event as a limited-time winter overlay on Teardrop Island, with scavenger hunts and timed objectives used to distribute rewards. Players who completed scavenger hunts by locating 10 hidden stockings qualified for a named in-game prize, the Gold Boot. A new seasonal currency, Tickets, was issued through daily logins, challenges, and match participation and could be spent on event-only items until they expired on January 12, 2026.
Tickets functioned as a time-limited, event-specific token used to buy seasonal rewards and were removed from circulation after the event end date. Twitch viewers could also obtain rewards by watching affiliated streams, with subscribers eligible for exclusive cosmetic items such as a Christmas Sweater, as reported by EGamers.io.
Gameplay Updates and Community Engagement
The publisher rolled out a new Ranked Mode to add competitive structure during the celebration. Map-level changes altered NPC distributions and drop-pod configurations to support event tasks and scavenger-hunt flow, while an item conversion system allowed players to exchange unused blue-tier items for holiday-specific Xmas HEX items.
Community interaction unlocked six Christmas Combat DJ Tracks via Discord participation, signaling an emphasis on coordinated engagement across channels rather than purely solo play. EGamers.io highlighted the convergence of in-game incentives and external platforms—Twitch and Discord—to increase session length and cross-platform retention.
Impact for Markets, Treasuries and Traders
Although the announcement focuses on gameplay, the features have operational implications for token economies and secondary markets. Time-limited Tickets create a temporary demand driver and a predictable sink for event inventory, while the item conversion mechanic offers a path for low-tier items to re-enter event-specific scarcity pools. These dynamics can tighten supply of event cosmetics and influence pricing on secondary NFT markets during and immediately after the promotion.
Stream-based reward distribution and subscriber-only cosmetics may shift monetization toward creators and increase viewership-driven flows. For treasuries managing token supplies or NFTs, the predictable expiration of Tickets on January 12 provides a clear unwind date for event-driven liabilities and inventories.
- Operational note: map and mode changes can affect match frequency and item drop rates, which in turn alter in-game asset issuance; teams responsible for liquidity provisioning should monitor activity metrics across the event window.
The Killmas event combined temporal tokenomics, competitive structure and creator incentives to concentrate activity on Teardrop Island through January 12, 2026. For market participants and treasury managers, the critical milestone is the Tickets expiry and season end on January 12, when event-driven demand and supply effects will begin to normalize.
