Even amidst the chaotic Dark Age surrounding The City, the Guardians still find time for camaraderie and competition. A new challenge has arrived in Destiny: Rising: the Snowball Fight Leaderboard web event. Launched on December 12, 2025, this isn't just about throwing virtual snow; it’s about proving your Pack’s dominance and earning some unique winter flair before the event concludes.
The Importance of the Pack: Snagging the Snowman Helmet
The core mechanic of this web event is simple: throw snowballs in-game, earn points, and climb the ranks. However, the biggest incentive right now focuses heavily on team effort. For players looking to maximize their rewards and show off some festive style, forming a three-person squad, referred to as a "Pack," is mandatory.
The moment you form a 3-person squad from the same server via the event webpage, all three members immediately receive the exclusive Snowman Helmet. This is a crucial early step for any Lightbearer looking to customize their look and cement their bond with their chosen fireteam. It reinforces the core narrative of the game—that the new generation of Lightbearers must organize and stand together to secure humanity's future.
How do I get the Snowman Helmet in Destiny: Rising?
The Snowman Helmet is acquired by using the official web event page to successfully form a 3-person squad (a Pack) with two other players from your same server. Once the Pack is confirmed, the reward is instantly granted to all three members.
Climbing the Ranks for Better Loot
While the free helmet is a great starting point, the true competitive grind is found on the leaderboards. The Snowball Fight event tracks performance across two categories: individual effort and overall Pack success. Players rank based on their total points accumulated from snowball throwing.
If you and your fireteam have been looking for a reason to coordinate outside of high-level PvE runs, this is it. The higher your individual score and the higher your Pack ranks, the better the bonus rewards you’ll secure. This competition structure perfectly aligns with the lore, reminding us that even during the City’s early, chaotic days, the Iron Lords valued resilience and competitive spirit found in unity.
Get out there, form your Pack, and start racking up those snowball points. This limited-time event is an excellent way to bond with your server mates and add a little festive chaos to the fight against the alien threats.
