Rivals Festive Event guide (Advent Calendar)
Rivals in Roblox is about dueling with your favorite long-range or short-range weapons in solo or team-versus-team matches. With the arrival of the holiday season, the game entered celebration mode on December 16, 2024, introducing the Festive Event. Adding a brand-new currency and an Advent Calendar for daily rewards, the Festive Event stands to benefit beginners and veterans alike.
Read through this guide to learn all about the Festive Event and the Advent Calendar added to the game as a part of Update 8.
How the Festive Event works in Rivals
The Festive Event is a celebration of the holiday season, bringing various themed elements to the game for the duration of the festivities. Holiday-themed decor can be seen in the lobby and several battle maps as well to help you get into the festive mood.
This event was added to Rivals on December 16, 2024, and will likely remain active until sometime in January 2025. During this time, you can participate in duels with friends and other Robloxians and earn Crystals as rewards for completing tasks.
Crystals are the focal point of the Festive Event, being its primary currency. It can be earned by completing Event Tasks, which include missions like scoring kills, winning duels, and playing rounds in a duel. Event Tasks are not specific to any game mode, meaning you can clear them just by playing the experience normally. Actions performed in the new Mirror Matchup mode count as well, allowing you to experiment with the fresh game mode while making progress with the Event Tasks.
These tasks reward twice the amount of Crystals for the first 100 you earn as a part of the 2x Crystal Rush boost. The boost resets daily, giving you a quicker way to farm the first 100 Crystals every day.
You can use Crystals to purchase Jolly Chests, Festive Wrap Boxes, and various holiday-themed Charms. The contents of the chests are purely cosmetic and opening them will grant you weapon skins and other customization trinkets.
During the event period, you can also purchase Crystal bundles to reduce the grind by a noticeable degree. Crystal bundles can only be bought with Robux, making them a premium way to access the shop items.

The Advent Calendar
The Advent Calendar is a daily rewards system where you can earn freebies each day for completing all Daily Tasks. Since these are directly tied to your usual daily missions, the difficulty of completing these objectives is minimal. All you need to do is play a few duels and score eliminations, for which the Team Deathmatch and Free For All modes are ideal.
You can access rewards from the Advent Calendar for the duration of the Festive Event, after which it will not be accessible. Complete your daily objectives each day during the holidays for easy access to various freebies like Jolly Chests and Festive Wrap Boxes.
