Excitement awaits during this year’s Lunar Festival event! Over the next few weeks, you’ll be racing to complete new special event quests that offer handsome rewards, you’ll find a few new skins and mounts in the Shop, and you may even spot a few fireworks at the end of your matches. The revelry kicks off Tuesday, January 24, lasts until February 14, and you’re invited to join in the festivities!

Complete the Rooster Race!

Each day during this year’s Lunar Festival event, you’ll receive a new quest to complete the Rooster Race. If any players in the match have not yet finished that day’s quest, a Lunar Rooster will appear near each team’s Core, along with many festive items, before the game begins!

The Rooster will request a specific item at the top of the screen. You and your allies must find the item, right-click to collect it, and then return it to the Rooster in order to advance its position. If the item is off-screen, an indicator will point you in the right direction.

Every time the correct item is turned in, the Rooster will request a new one.

Return four items before the opposing team to win the Rooster Race!
