Like most games at this time of year, Gunfight Arena has launched its own Easter event. Often, these events require players to complete various tasks or collect multiple Easter-themed items around the game map to unlock some juicy rewards.
The Gunfight Arena event works similarly and requires players to find and shoot baskets full of Easter eggs which spawn around the various maps. Once you’ve found enough baskets, you can claim the various rewards, including a new skin, 2 UGC items, and a limited-time weapon. Sadly, I could not find information on the weapon itself but based on previously limited items I would imagine it’s powerful.
All sounds good so far. It’s pretty standard fair for this type of event but that’s where the good news ends. The problem, or challenge if you want to be more positive about it, is how many baskets you need to find. When the challenge launched you only needed to find 90 baskets to unlock all the items, this has since been increased to a massive 400.
Why is this a problem? Typically, there seem to be up to five basket spawns per match which appear to be shared by all players so there is no guarantee you’ll even find a single basket. Added to this is the length of each match. At 12 minutes per round, this isn’t a quick game to play.
So let’s assume you find 5 baskets per round, a round is 12 minutes so you get to play 5 rounds per hour, giving us 25 baskets per hour at most. In this perfect scenario, it would still take you 16 hours of playtime to unlock all the items which is a serious amount of time. The issue is you simply won’t be finding 5 baskets per round. I play this game a lot and after around 10 hours of play, I have found a total of 55 baskets which means it will take around 80 hours to complete the challenge.
I love this game dearly but this challenge needs to be made just a little bit easier for players to complete. I fully appreciate the idea of making the items limited but, at this rate, even the die-hard players, like myself, will probably run out of time or enthusiasm before they complete the quest.
