Introducing the Hat Chest – A New Way to Don Hats!
In Angry Birds 2, hats are not just a splash of style on your feathered friends; they’re a game-changer, offering a way to boost your Flock’s power and turn the tide of your birdy adventures. Hat Sets come in different rarities, and completing one set increases your Slingshot level, boosting your Flock Power!
You can obtain these fine adornments in various ways. Some hats can be acquired in the Hat Shop for Black Pearls, others by competing in the Arena or Mighty Eagle’s Boot Camp, and some require dodging the Piggies in the Tower of Fortune. And now, we are introducing a new way to obtain hats.
Ladies and gentlemen, birds of all feathers… Top hats off, it is time to welcome the latest event in Angry Birds 2 – the Hat Chest Event! This new event provides you with a new and exciting way to style your Flock in fashion.
Let’s piece together why this is a must-try!
During the Hat Chest Event, which lasts several days, a new icon will appear on the Home Screen’s Main Menu, replacing the regular Treasure Chest Icon. Tapping this icon opens the Hat Chest pop-up!
Here, you will see which Hat Set is currently featured. Featured Hat Sets cannot be obtained in the normal Hat Shop for Black Pearls – see the Developer Notes below!
No strings attached! You can open the Hat Chest once per day for free or (optionally) spend gems to open the chest as many times as you want. If you are in a hurry or want the most value for your gems, you can also open 10 Hat Chests at once!
One Hat Chest always rewards one Hat. You can get the featured Hat Set and all other Hat Sets from the Hat Shop that can be purchased for Black Pearls. Not only will you have a chance to obtain Legendary Hats, but you will also have a chance to upgrade hats you already own, and even better, immediately get 2-star and 3-star hats!
Please note that the Drop Rate depends on the rarity and the star tier. For example, snatching a Legendary 3-star Hat is less likely than getting a Rare 1-star Hat.
Spend Hat Coins in the Hat Coin Shop!
You are probably wondering if you can obtain duplicates. The answer is yes – and that’s a great thing!
When you obtain a hat you already own, you will receive a set amount of Hat Coins. The amount you get depends on the rarity of the duplicate hat.
Select the Hat Shop tab on the pop-up and check out which Hats are sold for Hat Coins. Redeem your Hat Coins in the Hat Coin Shop, which offers you a selection of Hats that will change from event to event. If you are missing a specific Hat, now is your time to grab the birdy adornment of your deepest desire.
Please note that the Hat Coin Store provides a limited assortment of Hats, including the featured Hats and a selection from the regular Hat Shop. And don’t worry, once the event is over, you will keep your Hat Coins. Save up for the hats you like or spend them all at once – the choice is yours!
Now, isn’t that a hat-tastic opportunity? Check out the first Hat Chest Event, featuring the Picnic Hat Set, now live in Angry Birds 2!
Developer Note
Our aim with the Hat Chest Event is to introduce a fun and rewarding way to obtain and upgrade Hats, outside of the Tower of Fortune. This feature is designed to be as accessible as possible, and you can open the chest for free once a day!
We also know that randomized aspects in games can feel frustrating at times, which is why we added Hat Coins. This allows you to still work towards getting the hats you like, even if you are not on a particularly lucky streak.
Since this is a new feature, we have not yet decided how often the Hat Event will appear and how long it will last. Based on player reception, we will tweak and adjust the event. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping the future of Angry Birds 2. Please share your experiences and suggestions on our Discord server!
You are probably wondering if this is the only way to obtain hats you cannot get from the regular Hat Shop. No! We have great news. We will add all Hats you currently cannot obtain back to the Hat Shop after some time. You can read more about this here!
