Winter Splash Game Mode: How It Works
The Winter Splash Festival is a 4v4 limited-time game mode that forms the core of the Winter Celebration event. Here’s how it works:
- As Jeff, your goal is to paint the ground with your team’s color using his abilities. The team that covers more ground by the end of the timer wins the round.
- You’ll see a progress bar at the top of the screen showing how much ground your team has covered, so make sure to keep painting and help your team take the lead.
- If you prefer focusing on defeating enemies, that strategy also contributes to your team’s overall percentage. Eliminating opponents will help increase your team’s total coverage, so don’t hesitate to mix up your approach!
You’ll earn points and progress towards the challenges by completing matches and contributing to your team’s success, whether that’s through painting the ground or taking down enemies. The Winter Splash mode is a fun and strategic way to complete the event challenges, so make the most of your time in the game mode.
Complete the Event Before January 9, 2025
The Winter Celebration event, including the chance to unlock the Jeff skin, is time-limited, so be sure to complete your challenges before the event ends on January 9, 2025. After this date, the Cuddly Fuzzlefin Jeff skin may not be available again, so if you’re a Jeff fan or simply want to add this adorable skin to your collection, now is the time to grind through the event.
