What is Season 4.5?
Season 4.5 serves as a transitional phase between Season 4 and Season 5, running from February 17 to March 28, 2025. The purpose of this special mid-season event is to keep players engaged while the development team prepares for a major update scheduled for April 2025. To bridge this gap, Season 4.5 introduces new events and exciting rewards.
Key Highlights of Season 4.5
One of the standout features of this season is the increased rewards and gameplay enhancements. Mystery Key Cards and Mystery Boxes are now available on the map, with significantly improved drop rates. Players can obtain Common to Rare Mystery Boxes through boss battles, making it easier to acquire valuable in-game assets.
Additionally, new “Tribe Sphere” & “Pickup Gacha” system have been introduced, allowing players to summon specific characters from the five available tribe : Humanoid, Beast, God, Demon, and Machine. Tribe Spheres required for these Gachas can be purchased in the shop, ensuring that players can acquire characters that fit their desired strategies. Notably, these Gachas will also include characters at higher levels than usual, giving players a chance to strengthen their teams efficiently.
Another exciting addition is the “Tribe Hall,” a race-restricted dungeon. Each floor has 20 stages, with entry requirements based on character tribe. Completing these stages rewards players with Mystery Key Cards and event-exclusive Mystery Boxes. If you want to maximize your rewards, make sure to assemble a strong team before diving into these new challenges.
What is the Event-Exclusive Mystery Box?
Season 4.5 introduces a special Event Mystery Box containing highly coveted rewards, including a New Character Exchange Ticket and a 2-week Rental Ticket. These items will become usable starting in Season 5. However, it’s crucial to note that these boxes have an expiration date. If not opened within two weeks after the season ends, they will be removed from the game, so make sure to claim your rewards in time.
C2E Adjustments & Web3 Economy Enhancements
Our token ecosystem : C2E Reward logic has been fine-tuned in Season 4.5. Previously, C2E rewards fluctuated based on daily active users, but the new system now calculates rewards using a rolling 3-4 day average. This adjustment aims to provide more stability and sustainability to the in-game economy.
What’s Next? Mobile Version & Future Updates
Following Season 4.5, Season 5 is expected to launch within 1-2 weeks. A major combat system overhaul is also in the works, bringing deeper strategic elements to the gameplay.
The team is also actively exploring mobile development. However, due to the current web version’s heavy 3D processing demands, optimization is required before a mobile release can be finalized. The goal is to optimize both the mobile and web versions to provide a seamless experience for all players.
Moreover, BOUNTYKINDS is preparing to transition from the BNB Chain to an L2 blockchain. This shift will introduce a new token, with existing YU token holders receiving appropriate compensation during the transition. This move aligns with broader Web3 trends, ensuring long-term scalability and lower transaction costs.

Q: What are the drop rates for Mystery Boxes?
