How to Boost Your 'Hamster Kombat' Airdrop Before the Rewards Cutoff

Last chance: With a day to go before the Hamster Kombat snapshot, here’s how to set yourself up for a bigger HMSTR bag in the airdrop.

It’s finally here. Well, almost: After months of tapping our phone screens and investing in our fictional crypto exchanges operated by furry creatures, the Hamster Kombat token launch and airdrop are just days away on September 26.

But for players who are serious about boosting their bags ahead of the airdrop, there’s another date that’s even closer: the season-ending snapshot on September 20 at 6pm UTC.

That’s when Hamster Kombat’s developers will call this first in-game season a wrap ahead of the airdrop, and use the remaining days before the token generation event to determine allocations and make sure all of the pieces are in place—and perhaps cross their fingers and toes that The Open Network can handle the rush of players trying to claim tokens.

You now have almost a day left as of this writing to make some last moves to put yourself in the best position to claim a share of the airdrop. Luckily, the team has already shared which factors will play into the allocations, and we’ve played a ton of Hamster Kombat—so here’s a quick primer on how to make the most of the last pre-airdrop push.

You might have missed this, but some weeks back, Hamster Kombat introduced in-game achievements for various actions. It’s a broad slate, and the achievements run the gamut from how many cards you’ve unlocked to how many you’ve boosted to particular level marks, plus how many coins you’ve collected in total and more.

Mostly, these just highlight the accomplishments you’ve notched across the game. But unlocked achievements are also a factor into the airdrop allotments, so you might make a last effort to try to unlock some of them. For example, you could try boosting a few more upgrade cards to level 15, watch more of their YouTube videos, and unlock in-game skins for your hamster avatar.
