Web3 metaverse Upland has officially kicked off $SPARKLET Warz Season 2, giving eligible players a chance to play to earn token rewards while enjoying new features.

What’s New in Upland’s $SPARKLET Warz Season 2?

$SPARKLET Warz has Upland players battle it out and work together to try and take control of the city as one of 3 different factions. The faction that gets the highest score by the end of the season wins 200k $SPARKLET tokens, with rewards distributed to faction members based on each player’s own contribution to the tactical fight.

When it comes to new additions, $SPARKLET Warz Season 2 introduces a new battleground, new events, new weapons & ornaments, updated kart mechanics, and a new bonus prize.

The new battleground in question sees players battle for control of Las Vegas, with new real-time dynamic events now introduced to provide factions with timed challenges to complete if they want to earn some bonus points. Through these strategic events, players can get neighborhood-based bonuses or reductions.

Placing faction ornaments on existing structures is the main way to earn points, with the number of points awarded varying based on the type of structure the ornament is placed on. Ornaments should be reusable in future seasons as well. Weapons are map assets that come with offensive and defensive capabilities, making them thus useful not only for protecting your faction’s score, but also for attacking other factions. There are new weapons and structure ornaments to make use of this season, adding more strategic depth to tactical battles while keeping power levels the same for balanced gameplay.

When it comes to updated kart mechanics, the new Season 2 karts are said to remove half of the points from a structure, while karts from the first season now only remove 25% of points. The Queensridge neighborhood has been excluded entirely from this season, due it being fully bought by one single player.

As for the new bonus prize, well, we don’t know what it currently is, as it’s supposed to be a mystery bonus incentive that will be awarded to players who switch factions for this season and manage to win the season with their newly chosen faction.

Who Is Eligible for Upland’s $SPARKLET Warz Season 2?

$SPARKLET Warz Season 2 began on March 20th at 9 AM PT and will end on March 27th at 9 AM PT, and only players with the exclusive $SPARKLET Warz Pass were able to jump in and participate.

Season 1 participants were given 24-hour whitelist access to buy the required $5 pass, before the public sale began on March 19th at 9 AM PT. Passes for this season were limited to only 175 passes per faction, down frrom 200 from the previous season. Just like last season, this one too features 3 distinct factions: Purge Pirates, Cypher Cyborgs, and Krypto Knights. Next to acquiring the faction pass and burning it, players were also able to buy this event’s own $13 bundle, which came with 2 random NFTs to use in the season, such as a structure ornament, a defensive or offensive map asset, or a kart. Players were only able to buy the bundle designated for the faction they chose to join through purchasing and burning the faction pass.

Faction winners get to win $SPARKLET tokens, with the quantity varying based on a player’s rank on their faction’s leaderboard. The top 3 players of a winning faction are also awarded with an exclusive $SPARKLET Warz badge, while those who switched factions this season and actually win with their new faction will get mystery bonus rewards that are planned to be revealed at the end of the season.
