Online gaming has evolved over the last several years. One of the newest trends in online gaming is play-to-earn challenges, where players can complete specific game tasks or missions to earn digital rewards. These challenge-based competitions attract casual and experienced players to play for fun, improve their gaming skills, and enhance their overall gameplay experience.
Xplay.gg – The Premium Play-to-Earn Project
Xplay.gg is a premium play-to-earn project designed for Counter-Strike 2 players. Counter-Strike 2, formerly known as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, is a sequel to the long-running counter-terrorism FPS gaming franchise. Each game features a terrorist team and a counter-terrorist team, and the general objective is for one team to eliminate the other.
However, the Xplay.gg project sets more specific challenges and tasks for players to complete to win rewards. Think of it as a combination of a rewards system and a mission board that rewards you for completing challenges. Some of these challenges include things like:
- Surviving a gaming round within a set time
- Winning the matches
- Achieving a specific number of headshots on the opposing team
- Only use pistols to defeat the enemy
Completing these challenges can earn you new skins for your weapons. Depending on the skins chosen, they will change the appearance of your knives, gloves, rifles, pistols, shotguns, and SMGs. They are a great way to make the gaming experience more interesting and unique for players.
The Challenge System
Xplay.gg has 16 game modes and hundreds of servers running the challenges and games. Each mode requires you to build and demonstrate a specific skillset to overcome the challenge required. These skills may require you to achieve a certain number of kills, match wins, or mission objectives (planting or defusing the C4 a certain number of times).
Here is an overview of the various modes you may encounter:
Retake – Practice in-game objectives to defend the bombsite as a terrorist or retake the bombsite as a counter-terrorist. This mode allows you to build your tactical and coordination gameplay skills.
Pistol Retake – A variation of the retake mode, except you can only use pistols to defend or take the bombsite. Other weapons and grenades are not allowed.
Deathmatch – A traditional game mode where players must attempt to kill one another. Players will continuously respawn in various locations on the map after they die to maintain the action and suspense. Automatic HP and ammo replenishment are used in the matches.
AWP DM – Use the AWP sniper rifle to kill opponents. Earn more rewards with more sniper kills.
Pistol DM – A pistol version of the classic Deathmatch game mode. You must only use pistols to defeat your enemies.
HS DM – The focus is on eliminating your enemies with headshots only.
Surf – A mode that requires you to practice your movements to improve your speed and accuracy, such as sliding on surfaces.
KZ – Practice your movement skills to bypass challenging obstacles and barriers.
BHOP – Practice your jumping movements on various maps and improve your jumping speed.
AWP – Practice and improve your AWP sniper skills by striking your targets without using the scope.
Public – Enjoy the classic Counter-Strike gameplay format with different weapons, maps, and missions.
5×5 – A traditional competitive mode featuring two teams with five players on each team.
2×2 – A more challenging competitive mode featuring two teams with two players on each team.
Duels – A one-on-one duel competition mode. Each team has one player, so they utilize advanced skills to defeat the other.
Arena – A more challenging one-on-one competition mode. The matches are in an arena, and each player has the chance to climb up the competition ladder to become the champion.
Rewards are Xcoins
Xplay.gg displays the challenges on the platform every day. When you complete a challenge, you earn something called “xcoins,” a virtual currency used to purchase skins on the platform’s online store. Players can earn CS2 skins simply by training on the Xplay.gg servers, rather than skins being granted automatically. Spending xcoins gives you the freedom to choose the skins you would like for your games rather than having them given to you automatically.
How to Earn and Spend Xcoin Rewards
Below are the steps involved in participating in challenges and earning rewards:
1) On the Xplay.gg website, click on the “Challenges” section to see the list of challenges outlined above. Click on any of the challenges that interest you.
2) It will ask you to connect to the Counter-Strike 2 game in your Steam account. Permit it to do this to activate the challenge.
3) Connect to the game server on Steam and begin the gameplay. Xplay.gg will automatically synchronize with your in-game stats on Steam, so it will know when you have completed a challenge.
4) The Xplay.gg platform confirms your completion of a particular challenge, and the xcoin rewards will be deposited into your account.
5) Visit the “Store” section on the Xplay.gg website. You will see all the weapon skins available for purchase with your xcoins. You can filter the list based on weapon type or appearance. The weapon types are knives/gloves, pistols, SMGs, rifles, sniper rifles, and shotguns. The appearance options are factory new, minimal wear, field-tested, well-worn, and battle-scarred.
6) Click on the weapon skin that interests you and follow the on-screen instructions to trade your xcoins for it.
7) Alternatively, there is an option to participate in auctions by bidding on skins alongside other players. The bid amounts refer to the xcoin currency in your account. If your bid is the highest, you win the skin.
Conclusion
Xplay.gg offers several benefits to new and experienced players of Counter-Strike 2. If you’re a beginner, the platform provides numerous training modes to improve your gaming skills and increase your chances of earning rewards in the future. However, if you are an experienced player, you can compete with other skilled players to win the highest rewards and accolades.
If you upgrade to a paid Premium membership, you will have the opportunity to earn double the xcoins after completing daily challenges. You will also have unlimited access to the Skinchanger feature, which lets you access and customize all the weapon skins available without purchasing them.
