Play With Griffin, Earn Free Skins In Evolve's St. Patrick's Event
Today is St. Patrick's Day, which gives everyone an excuse to drink dyed beer. Turtle Rock is marking the holiday with a new Evolve community challenge. If teams that include Griffin win enough games online this weekend, players will earn new cosmetic options. They won't prevent you from getting pinched today, but the Trapper Predator Skins could keep you safe next year.
Starting Thursday at 9 p.m. Pacific through Sunday at 9 p.m. Pacific, Evolve players have a mission: Select Griffin as the trapper character, or be on a team with someone who has. If your team wins, it contributes to the overall goal. Once players win a combine 35,000 games with that team composition, the skins will unlock. You'll have to wait a while before you get them (2K says they'll be delivered by March 31), but they're free.
Our Take
Turtle Rock gave away gold monster skins a few weeks ago, saying that that future community events would be coming. And here we are. Considering how many people play the game, hitting that number should be a cinch, and the skins will be a fun way for players who participated to show off. If you're playing as the monster, you might not want to spend too much time oohing and aahing over the hunters' nicely decorated weapons. Who knows? Maybe the next event will actually overlap the appropriate holiday...
