The latest update for Build Ur Base introduces the limited-time Piñata Event, a chaotic and rewarding game mode where players can earn a new currency, battle a giant boss, and unlock exclusive, powerful items. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the event, from the patch notes to the best strategies for claiming the top prizes.
What Is The Piñata Event?
The Piñata Event is a limited-time activity where players collaborate to defeat a massive world boss, the Giant Piñata, to earn a new event currency called Candy. This Candy is used to purchase special event crates containing some of the most powerful gear currently available in the game.
Patch Notes Overview: Key Features
Here’s a summary of the new content and mechanics added with this update:
New Boss: The Giant Piñata spawns on the map every hour.
New Currency: Candy is earned by dealing damage to the Giant Piñata.
New Crates: Two new event crates are available: Normal Piñata Crate and Golden Piñata Crate.
New Items: Introduction of the Prism Weapon and Prismatic Turret, new best-in-slot gear.
How The Piñata Event Works
Fighting The Giant Piñata
The core gameplay loop of the event is straightforward:
Boss Spawn: The Giant Piñata appears on the map at one-hour intervals.
Deal Damage: All players on the server can attack the boss simultaneously. Cooperation is key to taking it down quickly.
Earn Candy: After the boss is defeated, you receive Candy based on the total damage you dealt. Higher damage equals more Candy.
Spending Your Candy: Event Crates
The Candy you collect is used to buy two types of crates from the event shop:
Normal Piñata Crate: Contains standard event rewards and useful upgrades. It’s a good option for consistent progress.
Golden Piñata Crate: Offers a higher chance to obtain rare and powerful items. This is the crate you should save for.
The Ultimate Prizes: Prism Weapon & Turret
The most valuable rewards from the event crates are the Prism Weapon and Prismatic Turret.
What They Are: These are top-tier items that are 110% as powerful as the best regular weapon or turret you currently own.
Why They’re a Must-Have: They are not just a slight upgrade; they are a significant power jump that will become your new primary gear.
Permanence: Most importantly, once you obtain a Prism item, it is a permanent addition to your inventory.
Pro Farming Guide: How to Get More Candy
To maximize your Candy income and increase your chances of getting the Prism items, follow these strategies:
Never Miss a Spawn: The event is time-gated. Set a timer if you have to and participate in every hourly boss spawn.
Use Your Strongest Gear: Equip your highest Damage-Per-Second (DPS) weapons. The more damage you deal, the more Candy you earn directly.
Collaborate with Other Players: While you’re competing for damage, working together ensures the boss dies faster, allowing everyone to collect their rewards and prepare for the next spawn.
Stay Active (No AFK): You need to be actively dealing damage to contribute. AFK players will earn little to no Candy.
Farm Daily: Consistency is key. Participate as much as possible every day for the duration of the event to accumulate a large amount of Candy.
