The thrill of the hunt never gets old, does it? Every few weeks, Whiteout Survival throws us into the “Defeat Nearby Beasts” event, a two-day frenzy where the frozen wasteland becomes our personal hunting ground. I’ve been through this rodeo more times than I can count, and let me tell you, it’s one of the most rewarding events if you play your cards right. The world map swarms with ferocious beasts and chilling Polar Terrors, and each one you take down adds precious points to your tally. But here’s the thing: it’s not just about mindless slaughter. You need strategy, stamina management, and a bit of teamwork. In this guide, I’ll share everything I’ve learned about maximizing your gains in 2026.
How Points Work: Solo vs. Alliance Rallies
There are two main ways to earn points: solo hunting and alliance rallies. Each has its pros and cons, and the choice depends on your playstyle and stamina reserves.
Solo Hunting: You spot a beast on the map, you attack, you kill it. Boom, one point. Simple, right? But each solo hunt costs 10 stamina. To hit the 80-point goal, you’d need to kill 80 beasts, which adds up to a whopping 800 stamina. That’s a lot of juice. The upside? You can do it at your own pace, no waiting for alliance members. But if you’re not careful, you’ll burn out faster than a snowball in a furnace.
Alliance Rallies: This is where teamwork shines. You and your alliance members gang up on Polar Terrors. Each successful rally gives you 3 points. To reach 80 points, you need 27 rallies. But here’s the kicker: each rally costs 25 stamina, so 27 rallies = 675 stamina. That’s 125 stamina saved compared to solo hunting. Plus, rallies are more efficient in the long run. The catch? You need coordination. Not everyone is online at the same time, and waiting for rallies can slow you down.
Stamina: The Lifeblood of the Event
Stamina is everything in this event. It’s the oxygen in your blood—without it, you’re gasping for air. Every action drains it, and once it’s gone, you’re done. So how do you manage it?
-
Save up beforehand: Don’t blow your stamina on random stuff days before the event. Hoard it like a dragon hoards gold. I usually stop spending stamina 2-3 days prior.
-
Use rallies when possible: They’re more stamina-efficient. 27 rallies vs 80 solo hunts? No contest.
-
Include Gina in your rally: Gina is a game-changer. Her skill reduces stamina consumption by 20%, bringing the rally cost from 25 to 20. That’s huge. With Gina, 27 rallies cost only 540 stamina instead of 675.
- Consider the Ultra Value Monthly Card: If you’re willing to spend a little real money, this card offers automated hunting. That means you can accumulate points without actively spending stamina. It’s like having a personal hunter doing the work for you while you sip hot cocoa.
Reward Tiers: What You Get for Your Points
The event uses a tiered reward system. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Points | Rewards |
|---|---|
| 1 | 80 units each of 1,000 Meat and Wood |
| 30 | 300 units each of 10,000 Meat and Wood, 60 units of 10,000 Coal, 15 units of 10,000 Iron |
| 50 | 10,000 Hero XP, 90 Speedup items |
| 80 | 5 Gold Keys, 10 Mythic Skill Manuals |
Those Gold Keys and Mythic Skill Manuals are worth their weight in gold—literally. They can give you a massive edge in hero development.
Leaderboard: The Competitive Edge
The event also has a state-based leaderboard. The top 100 players get exclusive rewards, usually gems and speedups. If you’re aiming for the top, you’ll need to be aggressive. That might mean using gems to replenish stamina. Is it worth it? Depends on your goals. For me, the gems and speedups are a nice bonus, but I don’t lose sleep over it.
Synergy with State of Power
Here’s a pro tip: the “Defeat Nearby Beasts” event often overlaps with the “Beast Slay” day of the “State of Power” event. When that happens, you can double-dip. Every beast you kill counts for both events. So if you time your hunting sprees during that window, you’re essentially killing two birds with one stone—or should I say, two beasts with one arrow. This synergy is a gift, so don’t waste it.
Alliance Coordination: The Secret Sauce
If you’re going the rally route, communication is key. Your alliance is a pack of wolves hunting a moose. If one wolf attacks early, the moose escapes. But if you all strike together, you bring it down. Use in-game chat or Discord to schedule rallies. Make sure everyone knows when to hit. Synchronized attacks maximize damage and points. And don’t be a lone wolf—help your mates when they call for aid.
Final Thoughts
The “Defeat Nearby Beasts” event is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s a frozen chessboard where every move counts. Manage your stamina, coordinate with your alliance, and aim for those 80 points. The rewards are absolutely worth it. Whether you’re a solo hunter or a team player, there’s a strategy for you. So stock up on stamina, sharpen your blades, and get ready to dominate the icy wilderness. Happy hunting!
