Artyfact has launched its first official Play-and-Earn tournament with a $30,000 prize pool.
The competition is free to enter and available now through the Epic Games Store, with the event running until September 28. Players earn in-game points by competing in matches and can win both fixed and randomized rewards based on their ranking.
How the Tournament Works
The tournament introduces a new seasonal format called “Leaderboard Rush,” where players collect ArtyPoints (AP) during gameplay. Each in-game kill is worth one AP, with an additional 25 AP awarded for winning a match. Players can also collect points during special capture events on the map. These points determine leaderboard placement and final prize payouts.
Top players are rewarded based on their final ranking. First place wins $1,500, second receives $700, and third gets $550. Players ranked from 4th to 50th earn $100 each, while those from 51st to 100th will get $55. Additionally, 900 random players will receive $22 just for participating, making this event inclusive for both casual and competitive users.
Boosting Scores Through NFTs
Although the game is free to play, players can increase their AP totals by holding Artyfact NFTs. Items like jetpacks, weapons, and character skins come with built-in AP bonuses. For example, owning an epic-tier NFT grants 9,900 extra AP. These items are part of the broader NFT economy that ties directly into the game’s ecosystem.
What Makes Artyfact Different
Artyfact combines fast-paced shooter mechanics with Web3 elements. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and running on Binance Smart Chain, the game supports several modes including Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Control, and Battle Royale. Features like jetpacks, transformable vehicles, and map-based power-ups make every match unpredictable.
The game also uses an AI system called Player-Experience Modeling (PEM), which adjusts difficulty based on user behavior. This helps new players ease into the experience while offering advanced challenges to more experienced users.
Extra Rewards and Airdrops
Alongside the tournament, Artyfact is running a 35,000 USDT airdrop. Players who complete social media and community tasks can enter, with 1,500 total winners. The campaign ends August 11, and winners will receive their rewards starting August 15.
The $ARTY token supports the entire platform. Players can stake it, use it for purchases, or join governance votes through the game’s DAO. Ten percent of NFT sale revenue is burned, reducing the total supply and supporting long-term token value. $ARTY is currently traded on exchanges like OKX, KuCoin, PancakeSwap, and Bybit.
Artyfact is available now for free download on the Epic Games Store. Players don’t need any crypto knowledge or a wallet to begin. Upon joining, each user receives an integrated Artyfact Wallet, allowing seamless access to the game’s features. More tournament updates are expected in the coming weeks.
