Heroes Battlegrounds Christmas Event guide
Heroes Battlegrounds is a fighting game that rewards players for executing complex combos and defeating their opponents. Currently, the game is celebrating its Christmas Event, introducing new event modes, cosmetics, and more. This festive update offers plenty of content to pursue and enjoy.
This guide covers the Christmas Event in Heroes Battlegrounds and how to unlock everything that was added as a part of this celebration.
An overview of the Christmas Event in Heroes Battlegrounds
The game entered the festive mode on December 15, 2024, adding various new event modes, unlockables, and an aesthetically overhauled map. The holiday map will remain available until the end of the season, expected to conclude in January 2025.
Your objective during the event period is to collect as many Presents as you can. Presents act as the limited currency of the celebration and can be exchanged to access the various unlockables. The unlockables include 20+ Christmas emotes, two kill emotes, and over 20 cosmetics.
The event also adds two new moves for the Early Access-exclusive character: Jet Engine. If you have them unlocked, you can now use Turbine Barrage and Sound Breaker as this character. Additionally, the event brings adjustments to Recipro Assault, including a third set to the attack. The first set now has a longer startup, and the move can also be used as a finisher.

Event modes
The Christmas Event's standout additions are the celebration-specific game modes. Three new modes — King of the Hill, Reverse Tag, and Santa’s Sleigh — were introduced in the latest patch. These modes have a chance to spawn every 15 minutes, and successful participation or completion grants players access to Presents.
Here’s a brief breakdown of how these modes work:
- King of the Hill: The objective of this mode is to remain within the three or four Christmas Trees’ circle that spawn on the map to claim them. Those not within the tree’s protection will be eliminated.
- Reverse Tag: One of the players is randomly given a gift, and the objective is to hold onto the gift when the timer runs out. The gift can be claimed by ragdolling the person holding it and the last person to hold the box when the timer runs out wins.
- Santa’s Sleigh: Santa spawns on the map and flies around while dropping Presents. The objective is to claim these Presents before others reach them.
