How to Earn Event Points
Events points can be earned by exploring the map to find event objects, playing the objective, and participating in PVP. Event points are shared in pool with your teammates throughout a hunt. Don't worry, even if you die, you will still gain event points. A new mechanic allows event objects to be highlighted in Dark Sight up to 10 meters with the default range. This can be boosted up to 70 meters with the new vapours.
________________________________________________________________
Methods to obtain event points:
- Destroying/interacting with event objects. *note* you don't have to melee the pyre, walking into it will destroy it to save stamina
- Killing a hive with a hunting bow grants 2 event points.
- Killing an armoured with a throwing axe grants 2 event points.
- Killing a boss grants 4 event points.
- Looting a dead hunter grants 5 event points.
________________________________________________________________
Vapours
*note* Multiple of these can be stacked with teammates for a combined boost towards event points and Dark Sight range.

Ah cheers! I assume it's probably the same with the custom ammos etc. Most likely just the cosmetics are actually exclusive. Thanks :)

Great question, the traits unlock at certain levels after the event is over. Here's a list of each trait and their level requirement: Declaw (Unlocks at level 67), Hundred Hands (Unlocks at level 60), Assailant (Unlocks at level 11).

Thanks for writing this up! I'm a bit confused though. Are these new traits locked to this event? If people don't complete the path, they will just never be able to have access to those traits?
