There’s a new purchasing option available at the in-game store. They call this new feature Player Santa and it allows players to gift away a free copy of items purchased at the in-game shop to one of their friends. Think of it as a buy one, gift one free program. The entire process can be done up to five times and the feature is available to both free-to-play and legacy players. To take advantage of the new gifting feature all you have to do is scrounge around some gold coins, enter your friend’s nickname and wait for the system to confirm that your friend hasn’t already purchased the item. Once verification is complete both of you will have access to the item.

The promotion does not include subaccounts, stat resets, or nickname change purchases, but think of all those heroes, taunts, announcers, and more that you’ve been waiting to grab for yourself and enjoy gifting it to your friends who matter most. Opportunities like this only come once a year and it all ends on January 2nd.
