Equipping a higher-ranked wearable increases your daily rewards.

Rewards Example

Let’s walk through an example of your rewards if you:

  • Completed all daily challenges.
  • Equipped three wearables.
  • Ranked in the top 5% percentile on the daily leaderboard.

Daily Challenges

Completing all daily challenges earns you 153 $ICE.

Wearable Bonus

You play with three wearables with the following ICE bonuses:

  • Rank 3 Wearable = +24%
  • Rank 4 Wearable = +34%
  • Rank 5 Wearable = +45%

The three wearables give you a +103% ICE bonus.

Wearable Multiplier

Equipping three wearables give you a 1.4x wearable multiplier.

Daily Leaderboard Multiplier

Placing in the top 5% percentile on the leaderboard gives you a 2x performance multiplier at the end of the day.

Total Rewards

(153 $ICE) * (103% wearable ICE bonus) * (1.4x wearable multiplier) = 434 base $ICE or Banked ICE

(434 base $ICE) * (2x performance multiplier) = 669 total $ICE or Banked ICE
