How to unlock balls, sneakers, outfits, and dunks

Tips

In short Quests are your main engine for earning experience and unlocking new gear.

Rewards open up gradually as your level rises through quest completions.

Tips worth knowing

Complete quests — they are your primary source of experience points.
Dunk animations and visual effects are collectible items you unlock through levelling up.
Halloween-exclusive skins come from the Phantom Pass by collecting candies during the event.

The Halloween event and Phantom Pass

Check

In short The Phantom Pass runs only for the duration of the Halloween event, so collect candies and redeem codes before it ends.

The Halloween update adds the Phantom Pass, a limited event track that rewards you with exclusive Halloween skins and spooky items as you collect candies in-game. Redeem codes are also available — each code can only be used once and codes expire, so enter them as soon as you can.

Collect candies during matches to advance the Phantom Pass and unlock Halloween skins.
Redeem available codes through the in-game code entry screen to claim free rewards.
Once the event period ends, Phantom Pass rewards are gone.
Combine event rewards with your regular level-up rewards to build out your collection.

Redeeming codes

Step

In short Entering a code takes seconds, and each one gives you a free item.

Codes are released periodically. Each code is single-use and has an expiry date, so redeem them quickly.

Things to watch out for

Warn

In short Time-limited content disappears when the event ends, so act on event rewards and codes early.

A couple of easy mistakes can cost you rewards that are impossible to recover later.

Worth watching out for

The Phantom Pass closes when the Halloween event ends rewards you have not unlocked are lost.

Codes expire and can only be used once once a code is used or expired it cannot be redeemed again.
