Farcana, a multiplayer arena hero shooter with a Web3 economy, started its playtest event called Gateway: Showdown on 30th April. This playtest is currently open to all players, which means you can participate simply by signing-up on its official website, and installing the game.
Players participating in this event can earn $FAR tokens as rewards out of a prize pool of a total of 1,000,000 $FAR tokens. However, only 2 more days are left! That is because 4th May, 2024 is the last date of the play test. After that, the event will be locked and the $FAR rewards will be distributed.
How can players earn $FAR tokens?
While participating in the on-going playtest, players will complete missions to collect Particles. These can be used to rank up. You can say that it’s Farcana’s in-game resource to craft recipes and track your progress. Eventually, this will help you climb up the leaderboards and give you a chance to earn $FAR.
The Particles have various rarities, and likewise, different levels of influence on your progress. And of course, the rarer the Particle is, the more effort it requires. The rarest Particles are the ones that will get players closer to rewards from a prize pool of 1,000,000 $FAR tokens.
$FAR is the official utility token in the Farcana universe. Players will use this token for purchasing premium NFTs, staking, crafting, buying season passes, and a lot more.
Quick look and system requirements
The game itself looks quite stunning. Since it is backed by investors from Animoca Brands, players can be certain that its development team is quite serious about the project.
Of course, that also means that the system requirements are relatively higher than other Web3 games. It’s a fast-paced PvP shooter, which is inline with recent Web2 AAA games as far as graphics are concerned.
