Spring Festival 2026 Overview
Event launches February 3, 2026 UTC+0 with staggered content releases. Unlike previous events, this uses card collection instead of direct token exchanges. Lucky Kiosk opens February 9 as the primary exchange vendor.
Key Dates:
- Feb 3: Event start
- Feb 6: Additional content reveal
- Feb 9: Lucky Kiosk opens
- Feb 13: Golden Gift Box login rewards
- Feb 15: Spring Festival Password Code event
- Feb 17: Container Investigation event
The Feb 3-9 window is critical for stockpiling cards before the kiosk opens. Limited-redemption items typically exhaust within 48-72 hours of kiosk activation. Reserve 20-30% of card inventory for the Feb 17 Container Investigation phase. Secure Arena Breakout Bonds top up through BitTopup for competitive pricing and instant delivery.
Card Acquisition Mechanics
Four card rarities: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary. Container-specific drop rates:
Military Supply Crates (85% card rate):
- 55% Common, 25% Rare, 15% Epic, 5% Legendary
Weapon Lockers (70% card rate):
- 60% Common, 28% Rare, 10% Epic, 2% Legendary
Hidden Stashes (45% card rate):
- 80% Common, 15% Rare, 4% Epic, 1% Legendary
Locked Weapon Cases (95% card rate):
- 30% Common, 35% Rare, 25% Epic, 10% Legendary
Container Economics:
- Locked Cases: 15,000 Koen key, 40,000-60,000 Koen return value
- Blue keycard containers: 8,000 Koen cost, 18,000 Koen average value (125% ROI)
- Red keycard containers: 25,000 Koen cost, 65,000 Koen average value (160% ROI)
Lucky Kiosk Exchange Tiers
Tier 1: 20-50 Common cards → 5,000-15,000 Koen value items
Tier 2: 10-25 Rare cards or 100-150 Common cards → 25,000-45,000 Koen value
Tier 3: 5-15 Epic cards or 50-100 Rare cards → 60,000-120,000 Koen value (180-240% ROI, 100-300 redemptions)
Tier 4: 3-8 Legendary cards or 25-50 Epic cards → 150,000-300,000 Koen value (150-200% ROI, 50-100 redemptions)
Tier 5: 15 Legendary cards → 500,000+ Koen value (25 redemptions)
Focus on Tier 3-4 for maximum efficiency. Tier 5's extreme requirements make it impractical for most players.
Exchange Priority Tier List
S-Tier: Must-Buy First
Gilded Serpent weapon skin:
- 8 Epic cards required
- 180,000 Koen value (22,500 per Epic card)
- 150 redemptions only
- Top priority before cap exhausts
Crimson Dragon rifle skin:
- 5 Legendary cards required

Keycard containers:
- Blue: 125% ROI at 8,000 Koen
- Red: 160% ROI at 25,000 Koen
- Creates positive Koen feedback loop
A-Tier: High-Value Gear
Tier 3 Epic exchanges beyond Gilded Serpent maintain 180-240% ROI with 100-300 redemptions. Target meta weapon attachments, armor plates, consumable bundles.
Tactical Ammunition Bundle: 18 Rare cards, 42,000 Koen value (2,333 per Rare card)
Tier 4 Legendary exchanges (3-8 cards) deliver 150-200% ROI for high-tier weapons. Moderate urgency with 50-100 redemption limits.
Mid-tier Rare exchanges (10-25 cards) provide accessible value for volume farmers.
B-Tier: Situational
Tier 2 exchanges requiring 100-150 Common cards offer moderate returns (25,000-45,000 Koen). Suitable for surplus Common cards after completing higher priorities.
Common-to-Rare conversion exchanges provide flexibility for unbalanced card distributions.
Cosmetics without gameplay impact fall here unless they have sub-100 redemption limits.
C-Tier: Skip Unless Surplus
Tier 1 exchanges (20-50 Common for 5,000-15,000 Koen) represent lowest efficiency at 250-300 Koen per Common card. Avoid unless all higher tiers exhausted.
Non-limited cosmetics waste resources—they'll return in future events.
Consumable bundles with market equivalents provide minimal value unless 200%+ ROI.
Lucky Kiosk Deep Dive
Opens February 9, 2026 with continuous availability. All exchanges display simultaneously with redemption counters. No rotation—exhausted exchanges become permanently unavailable.
Redemption Timeline:
- S-tier (sub-100 redemptions): Exhaust in 24-48 hours
- A-tier (100-300 redemptions): Last 3-5 days
- Monitor Feb 6 content reveal for new exchanges
Price vs Standard Market
Gilded Serpent's 180,000 Koen value = ~720,000 Koen in standard market pricing (300% multiplier).
Tier 3 exchanges (60,000-120,000 Koen value) cost 150,000-300,000 Koen in standard markets, confirming 180-240% ROI.
Blue keycards: 8,000 Koen vs 22,000-25,000 market equivalent Red keycards: 25,000 Koen vs 80,000-90,000 market equivalent

Budget-Specific Strategies
High-budget: Farm Locked Weapon Cases exclusively (95% card rate, 10% Legendary). Target 50-100 openings before Feb 9 for sufficient Legendary cards.
Medium-budget: 60% Military Supply Crates, 40% blue keycard containers. Maintains positive Koen flow while accumulating Epic cards.
Low-budget/F2P: Zero-cost routes prioritizing Military Supply Crates and Weapon Lockers. Armory Main Warehouse Complex (6-8 crates) + Underground Bunker (12-15 lockers). Run 3-4 times daily for multiple Tier 2-3 exchanges.
Token Farming Optimization
Best Routes
**Armory Perimeter Route (15 minutes, 18-22 containers):
**
- Enter western gate → 90-second sprint to Main Warehouse Complex
- Clear 6-8 Military Supply Crates (5-7 cards at 85% rate)
- Underground Bunker: 12-15 Weapon Lockers counterclockwise (8-11 cards at 70% rate)
- Barracks Second Floor: 5-7 Hidden Stashes (respawn cycle farming)
Generates 15-20 cards per run. Running 4x daily (1 hour total) yields 60-80 cards—sufficient for one Tier 3 exchange weekly.
Alternative Routes:
- Northridge Police Station: 5-7 Weapon Lockers, compact layout for quick sessions
- Farm Residential District: 24-36 Hidden Stashes across 12 houses (less efficient due to 45% card rate)
Hidden High-Efficiency Sources
Locked Weapon Cases: Most overlooked despite 95% card rate and 25% Epic/10% Legendary distribution. 15,000 Koen key returns 40,000-60,000 Koen value—net positive investment.
Blue keycard containers: 8,000 Koen cost, 125% ROI + card drops. Superior to standard farming for moderate Koen reserves.
Red keycard containers: 25,000 Koen cost, 160% ROI with enhanced Epic/Legendary frequencies. Allocate 30-40% of Koen reserves here.
Hidden Stash respawns: 10-minute cycle enables double-dipping. Clear other zones, return after 10 minutes for second wave. Doubles efficiency in 20-25 minute raids.
Time-Efficient Schedules
Daily: 60-90 minutes across 4-6 Armory runs. Morning sessions (6-8 AM) have lower player density. Evening (8-10 PM) offers PvP card acquisition opportunities.
Weekend: 2-3 hours on Locked Weapon Case routes. Generates 15-25 Epic cards and 3-5 Legendary cards weekly—sufficient for one Tier 4 + multiple Tier 3 exchanges.
Pre-kiosk (Feb 3-8): Most critical period. Increase to 2-3 hours daily, prioritize Epic/Legendary through Locked Cases and Military Supply Crates.
Post-kiosk (Feb 9+): Adapt based on remaining redemptions. Monitor counters daily and adjust card type targeting.
Meta Weapon Analysis
Crimson Dragon rifle skin: 5 Legendary cards, 250,000 Koen value, 75 redemptions. Rifles dominate mid-to-long range in current meta.
Gilded Serpent weapon skin: 8 Epic cards, 180,000 Koen value, 150 redemptions. Likely SMG/pistol class based on naming convention.
Tier 3-4 exchanges include meta attachments (optics, suppressors, extended mags) providing direct competitive advantages.
Playstyle Priority
CQB players: Gilded Serpent (if SMG), SMG attachments, ammunition bundles
Mid-range: Crimson Dragon, rifle attachments, optics, recoil reduction
Long-range: Sniper/DMR exchanges if available, otherwise versatile assault rifles
Support: Armor plates, medical bundles, tactical equipment (consistent value across playstyles)
F2P vs Paid Strategies
F2P Budget Allocation
100% free containers: Military Supply Crates + Weapon Lockers. Armory Perimeter Route generates 60-80 cards daily (1-hour investment) = one Tier 3 exchange weekly + multiple Tier 2.
Focus Epic cards through Military Supply Crate volume. 15% Epic rate requires 40-50 crates for 6-8 Epic cards (Gilded Serpent requirement).
Avoid Tier 4-5 requiring multiple Legendaries—5% drop rate needs 200+ crate clears.
Reserve Koen for extraction insurance and basic equipment, not keycards. 8,000 Koen blue keycard = 4-5 successful extractions worth.
Paid Fast-Track via BitTopup
Purchase 500,000-1,000,000 Koen for 30-65 Locked Case openings → 7-15 Legendary + 20-40 Epic cards. Supports multiple Tier 4 + all priority Tier 3 exchanges week one.
BitTopup offers competitive pricing, secure transactions, fast delivery, 24/7 support. High user ratings confirm reliability.
Koen allocation:
- 60-70% Locked Weapon Case keys
- 20-30% red keycard containers
- 10-20% blue keycard containers
160% ROI on red keycards partially offsets key costs.
ROI by Player Type
Pure F2P (1 hour daily): 420-560 cards weekly → 2-3 Tier 3 + 5-7 Tier 2 exchanges = 300,000-500,000 Koen equivalent
Low-spend ($20-50, 200,000-400,000 Koen): 10-25 Locked Cases → 2-5 Legendary + 5-12 Epic → 1-2 Tier 4 + 4-6 Tier 3 = 600,000-900,000 Koen (300-450% ROI)
Medium-spend ($50-100, 500,000-800,000 Koen): 30-50 Locked Cases → 6-12 Legendary + 15-30 Epic → 2-3 Tier 4 + all Tier 3 = 1,200,000-1,800,000 Koen (240-360% ROI)
High-spend ($100+, 1,000,000+ Koen): Complete all limited redemptions before caps exhaust = 2,000,000+ Koen equivalent
Advanced Min-Max Techniques
Container Respawn Exploitation
Hidden Stash double-dipping: 10-minute respawn. Clear Barracks (5-7 stashes) → rotate to Warehouse/Bunker → return after 10 minutes for second wave. Extends raid to 20-25 minutes, generates 10-14 additional cards.
Maintenance window resets: Daily maintenance (2-4 AM local) fully respawns containers. Extract before maintenance, re-enter immediately after for 1-2 additional full runs daily.
Multi-map rotation: Alternate Armory/Northridge/Farm every 2-3 raids. Maintains fresh spawns, avoids player congestion. Adds 15-20% daily cards vs single-map grinding.
Last-Day Opportunities
Late February (typical 3-4 week duration) creates panic exchanges. Limited redemptions exhaust completely.
Feb 17 Container Investigation may introduce bonus card sources. Maintain 20-30% card reserves until activation.
Final-week farming: Shift to targeted rarity based on remaining exchanges. If Tier 3 available but Tier 4 exhausted, pivot entirely to Military Supply Crates for Epic cards.
Koen-to-Card Conversion Efficiency
Locked Cases: 0.0633 cards per Koen (1 card per 15,789 Koen), but 25% Epic/10% Legendary = 0.095 Epic-equivalent per Koen
Blue keycards: 0.0556 cards per Koen (1 card per 18,000 Koen), 10% Epic/2% Legendary = 0.062 Epic-equivalent per Koen
Locked Cases superior for Tier 3-4 targeting. Use until Koen drops below 200,000, then switch to red keycards.
Common Mistakes
Cosmetics Over Functional Gear
Weapon skins provide zero gameplay benefit vs attachments/armor. Prioritize functional Tier 3-4 first, then limited-redemption cosmetics (sub-100 units), finally unlimited cosmetics only if all else complete.
Exception: Sub-100 redemption cosmetics carry permanent exclusivity.
Ignoring Lucky Kiosk
Tier 3-4 offer 150-240% ROI vs standard market. Players dismissing based on Tier 1 rates (250-300 Koen per Common) miss the 22,500 Koen per Epic value from Gilded Serpent.
Calculate Koen-per-card across all tiers, compare to market prices.
No Exchange Planning
Exchanging immediately without strategy exhausts resources on low-value Tier 1-2 before accumulating for high-value Tier 3-4.
Pre-calculate total card requirements for all priority exchanges. List in priority order, sum by rarity, farm to thresholds before exchanging.
Create personal checklist with requirements and redemption limits for systematic tracking.
