August 2022 Skin: Motorist Flamingo

As the month comes to a close, we wanted to make sure you were heading into August with your desired Flamingos! The skin for completing your July capture streak (and the corresponding badge), which is the Birthday Garden Flamingo shown below, will be awarded in early August. But, we couldn’t wait to share what’s in store for next month!

July Flamingo Reminders

If you haven’t picked up a Flamingo yet, they are available in the Freeze Tag Store for $6.

How to have a permanent Flamingo on your account next year:

  • Own at least 8 Flamingos by the end of the year
    • Each month, the price of a Flamingo will decrease by $1.
    • However, players can only purchase 1 Flamingo every 28 days.

Where to stock up on Flamingos if you missed out on earlier months:

  • Reseller Garden Flamingos include the base Flamingo AND the special Reseller skin — if you’re interested, you can check out our blog post on them HERE!
  • A Bonus Flamingo was listed as part of our UnBirthday Sale — if you’re interested, you can pick it up HERE! You’ll need to act fast though, as it’ll leave the store at the end of the month!

August Flamingo Details

What Flamingo Skin can you look forward to earning in August? The daring Motorist Garden Flamingo! Like the other flamingos, the Motorist Garden Flamingo is a temporary POB that will remain on the map as long as players with permanent Garden Flamingos continue to use it.

Motorist Garden Flamingo
Points
  • Capture: 250
  • CapOn: 300
Additional Info
  • Available for multi-capture
  • Non-blastable
  • Attracted to both Physical Magnets and Virtual Magnets
  • Filters: “All Limited Edition Specials” and “All Expiring Specials”

As stated earlier, to earn this skin, you’ll need to complete next month’s (August’s) capture streak. Once the skin is awarded in September, you can change the skin on the flamingo to this one at any point — refer to our Help Guide article for the instructions!

You can find these brave birds driving to the following landing pads every 6 hours or when captured:

Additionally, the Motorist Garden Flamingo will scatter up to 3 NEW Fearless Feathers nearby when it is captured!

Fearless Feather
Points
  • Capture: 50 points
  • CapOn: 50 points

Like the other Flamingo Feathers, these scatters will be visible to any player and will be deployed on the Flamingo owner’s account. This means that unlike Air Mystery Feathers/Boulders, there are CapOn points for the owner! They expire after 120 minutes and have a capture radius of 300 feet. These flamingo scatters will NOT count for deploy streaks, ZeeOps, or clan activity since they are passive deploys.

Badges

As a reminder, Garden Flamingos have 4 associated badge lines:

  • Unique type deploy badges — you’ll need to earn each month’s skin by keeping your streak up!
  • Overall deploy badges — the more flamingos you deploy, the merrier!
  • Unique type capture badges — capture at least 1 of each skinned flamingo!
  • Overall capture badges — capture as many flamingos as you can find!

While we revealed images for the first of each badge line in the original post, we are happy to show you the “Unique type deploy” and “Unique type capture” badges associated with the Motorist Garden Flamingo:

NEW Personal Tags

Lastly, we’ve added some new Personal Tags to the store featuring our feathered friends — you can shop them HERE!

We hope earning August’s Flamingo Skin doesn’t turn out to be a death-defying stunt!

Munzee on!
