How to earn that sweet, sweet bonuspunkte

There are many different ways to earn bonuspunkte. Some are listed below. Others are released with little notice and have a limited window for completion. Keep your eyes open and be ready to complete a bonus at any time during the game!

a COUPLE of THINGS TO remember about bonus gameplay

  • You may only complete one bonus per day, unless explicitly directed to do otherwise by GG.

  • You cannot complete multiple bonus activities on a single day with the intention of then scoring them on days you didn’t complete a bonus (no “stockpiling”).

  • If you are required to send proof of completion to GG (e.g. a video or pic), you can do that immediately after finishing the bonus activity but you wont officially report the bonus until the next morning on the DRT.

  • Not all bonuses will cover your daily exercise requirement. Make sure you understand which do and which do not!
