New In Game Achievements!
CrossFire evolves once again today and brings to you a new achievement system! Earn these symbols of honor and fame by playing games and meeting the requirements for the achievements.

To view a large selection of the achievements included in this update please visit our visual spoiler here.

How to Earn Achievements!
Earning achievement is as simple as playing CrossFire!

Achievements progress over time in stages, earn enough of the requirements for one stage and earn that achievement!

Note that there are limits to the amount you can progress a given achievement at any time. For example, only 50% of your TDM kills will count towards progressing the Spray 'N Pray achievement.

Collecting more "points" towards a given stage within an achievement won't progress you past the next stage. For example, if you need 50 kills for stage 1 and you achieve 100 kills in your first game, you wont get stage 1 and 50 kills towards stage 2.

Achievement Rewards!
Moving an achievement up the stages will give you rewards and bonus effects for your account!

As you move up the stages the bonus effects get better and better.

Some effects can only be used a few times a day.

Some effects are permanent for any action that triggers it.

To register your main achievement which is the one that displays to others check out the options in the character profile tab under "achievements".

Some achievements have one-time rewards.

Achievement Bonus Event!
From July 18 - 31st for each of the first stage achievements you earn in game we're going to add an extra 500 GP to your account!
