Boss Fighters prepares to bring us a special, exclusive Alpha collection, including NFT skins for Fighters, Weapons, and even the Bosses! But, these NFTs are only accessible through the Alpha Pass, which will go on sale soon!
You can already pick up a Boss Fighters Rowdy NFT and use it as your character skin in-game, but the team is ready to kick things up a notch with their unique, generative collection of Alpha Fighter NFTs!
There are actually three kinds of Alpha NFTs — Fighter, Weapon, and Boss Skins. They all come in four rarities, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary. Rarity has no gameplay effect. But for character skins, rarity does affect what selection of traits are used for generating the skin. That’s right, the Boss Fighters Alpha Fighter Skins will be generative, unique NFTs! Weapon and Boss Skins aren’t as exclusive, though they still have many different varieties and rarities available.
Boss Fighters Alpha Pass
But these Alpha Skins aren’t just for sale straight up. Players need to first purchase an Alpha Pass, and then earn their Skins by playing the game! Alpha Passes will go up for sale sometime soon through the Open Loot platform. Interested players will need to sign up for the waitlist using this form. Alpha Passes cost $15 for a rare, $60 for an epic, and $100 for a legendary, with varying chances of finding different rarities of Fighter skins. This is the only time these alpha skins will be made available.
There is also a free pass option, though it doesn’t include a Fighter skin as a reward. Those who want a free pass will still need to go through a whitelisting process and enter a Gleam campaign to try and win a slot. Watch the Boss Fighters social channels for more info on the free pass.
All of the passes also include access to the Closed Alpha and chances to earn Weapon Skins.
VR players receive their own special pass, the Alpha Boss Pass! These free passes reward owners with a Closed Alpha Key and two exclusive Boss skins.The Boss Fighters team will provide a form where players can submit their email address, and then follow a set of instructions to verify that they are a VR player.
These Passes open up the potential to unlock and mint the Fighter NFTs. Alpha Passes function as a battle passes, with rewards and perks unlocking as the player progresses.Once an item is unlocked, it immediately appears as a tradable NFT — no other work required!
An event known as ‘Big Playtime’ is scheduled to start on August 5th. At that point players can unpack their Pass and begin working on the unlocks!
What is Boss Fighters?
Boss Fighters is an asynchronous, arena combat game that pits a team of players against one other player as The Boss – a giant enemy that can smash apart buildings, shoot lasers, and even rip the giant hot dog off from the top of the restaurant and hurl it at the puny humans! The Fighter players have guns, rockets, grappling hooks, sticky bombs, and other weapon and gear options for helping them try to defeat the Boss.
Boss Fighters will be free to play. And those who have no interest in blockchain or NFTs can still play and earn in-game rewards. Boss Fighters will include digital assets and NFTs, but they will be cosmetic only and not affect gameplay. The game will run in seasons. During each season, players gain experience as they play, opening up new gear, cosmetics, and upgrades. All of these rewards are wiped between seasons, but players will have the option of spending game currency to mint certain items into an NFT. As the Boss players are the heart of the game, they will see increased rewards for participation in the game. This includes bonuses for playing on a regular basis.
The first character skin NFTs, known as the Rowdy collection, are available on the Solana network. However, the team recently announced a new partnership with Open Loot, and the NFTs will be transferred over to that platform in the near future.
Boss Fighters wants to bring a game show feel to the experience and encourages streaming. They want it to be a fun, eSport event for players and viewers. And so, the Boss Fighters team is already envisioning ways to encourage and reward viewers and audience participation.
Boss Fighters will also include player created content in the future such as customized maps. Hopefully that will expand to include Boss creation as well!
