Badges and Milestones

The badge set

The game ships three badges, and each one maps to a milestone: joining, the September 2026 Hacker Event, and defeating the King 1x1x1x1 boss.

Reading the numbers

Badge award counts are the cleanest public growth signal the game has. In mid-September the Welcome badge was adding roughly 397,000 awards per day — that is the breakout curve the search trend data mirrors.

The gap between the Welcome badge and the King defeat badge is also the clearest difficulty statement in the game: roughly one in eleven accounts that have joined have banked the boss kill.

How to earn the boss badge

The King 1x1x1x1 fight spawns on the shared boss timer, so the first step is watching the NEXT BOSS IN countdown and being in the world when it fires.

Damage is the currency of that fight: bring a build with supports that hit hard, keep fuel in reserve to reposition, and treat the BOSS FIGHT bar as the one health bar that matters. The badge lands on the kill, not the attempt.

Event badges and their windows

The Hacker Event badge was earned by over 1.4 million accounts during its September window, making it the broadest event run so far. Event badges are usually time-boxed — if a new event appears on the world board, treat the badge as earning it while it lasts.
