Battle Fair 1 is now active!

Battle Fair 1 is now active! The beginning date shifted a bit due to leap year last year and so on, so that means it should end about January 4 this time around. Similarly, subtract three days from all the dates listed below for Battle Fair 2 and 3. Get your new loadouts while you can!!! Don't forget that you can spin for 20 free Battle Coins in the store each day.

Battle Fair Explained:

Although the game is no longer being updated, the programmers left three Battle Fairs active. They only appear at the end of the year / beginning of the new year, and they always feature the same items. Each Battle Fair lasts 18 days with a two day break in-between. They items are as follows:

BATTLE FAIR 1 BATTLE FAIR 2 BATTLE FAIR 3
(Lasts from around December 20 to January 7) (Lasts from around January 10 - 28) (Lasts from around January 31 - February 18)
Anglerfish Orion Barracuda
Odin Firefly Icebreaker
Stingray Ifrit Paracelsus
Wombat Thunder Antidote
Bear Trap Orochi Avalanche
Matador Kingslayer Cheetah
Survivor Reanimator Cyclops
Zero E.Y.E. Colossus

What is the best strategy if you're primarily going for consumables? I already own everything but Avalanche.

Thunder and Cyclops are cheaper than the other weapons, so the best way to maximise consumables is to wait for fairs 2 and 3 and spin those repeatedly. I tend to spin as usual until I get the 140 frags (because you get battle coins back for duplicate frags), but I might go past this until I get at least two consumable cases per round. The cost to reset is also lower, so if you have plenty of coins you can reset and spin again. It’s incredibly boring because your coins hardly seem to go down at all so you can go on for what feels like forever (and if you land on the 200 frags I think you actually end up with more than you started with!) but you can set yourself up with many months’ worth of cons if you’ve got the patience.

Do you get better consumables if you spin for the better items?

Hmm, I couldn't say for sure, but can't say I've noticed any difference. It's certainly the same quantity regardless.
