âś… Event Strategy
-
Target elite & boss spawns
-
Prioritize rounds or areas where elites and bosses spawn frequently (like during Easter Eggs).
-
-
Speed-run EEs for boss kills
-
Completing an Easter Egg often spawns a boss you can instantly down for 500 points.
-
-
Maximize match duration
-
Stay alive longer to reach rounds with more elites/boss opportunities.
-
-
Play high-tier maps
-
Maps like Citadelle des Morts, Shattered Veil, Tomb are dense with higher-tier spawns—great for points.
-
-
Solo vs squad
-
Soloing may let you hog kills, but squads can clear rounds faster and unlock more boss fights.

đźš§ Common Community Feedback
Many players call the rewards underwhelming—just GobbleGums—and warn that cheating/grinding might dominate, especially for top leaderboard spots
“Thin slice of pizza and 3 Doritos type reward”
“There’s no point to do King of the dead… it’s just gobblegums”
So unless you're aiming for Ultra-tier Gums, consider if the grind is worth it.

Leaderboards are against a small pool (~30 players)
