The Blood Strike MENA Seven Deadly Sins collab runs April 3 to May 3, 2026. F2P players can unlock 4 free weapon skins, 3 Playpals, 3 avatars, 2 frames, and 1 title — zero diamonds required. But every reward ties to a specific task window, and missed deadlines are permanent. This guide covers every unlock method, every expiry, and the daily routine to hit max F2P rewards.
Quick Overview
This is a full anime collab — not a reskin of a standard battle pass. The Seven Deadly Sins IP (Meliodas, Elizabeth, Hawk) appears across weapon skins, Playpals, avatars, and a limited-time mode called Sin Mark Duel. Confirmed via official patch notes for both MENA and global servers simultaneously.
Event Schedule
The staggered unlock schedule is the biggest source of missed rewards. Don't assume everything is available from day one.
No Points Economy — This Matters
Most Blood Strike collabs use a token-grind-and-exchange system. This one doesn't. No event points, no Sin Tokens, no shop. Every reward unlocks directly when you hit its specific task threshold. Simpler — but it means you can't compensate for a missed task by grinding harder elsewhere.
Complete Free Reward List
Four weapon skins, fully free. That's exceptional for a collab event.
What's Behind the Gacha Wall
The premium items — M4A1-Demon, Galil-Elizabeth, LUCIAN-Meliodas (Demon form), EMMA-Elizabeth (Goddess form), and Playpal-Wild — are lucky spin/gacha only. If you're purely F2P, the free track is complete without them. Don't factor these into your planning.
Task Breakdown: What You Actually Need to Do
1. Login Accumulation (April 3–May 3)
The Kar98k – Double Bow Harlit, Avatar – Hawk, and Crossover Frame unlock through login day thresholds. No hard streak penalty — missing a day delays accumulation but doesn't reset it. Most forgiving track in the event. Start April 3 and you'll hit the threshold well before May 3 even with occasional gaps.
2. Sin Mark Duel Participation (April 3–May 3)
Unlocks the QBZ95 – Coffin of Eternal Darkness and Playpal – Oslo. Losses count — you need to play, not win. Community testing confirms the threshold is reachable with 2–3 matches per day. Don't ignore this mode assuming login covers everything. It doesn't.
3. Friend Invites — Two Separate Waves
This is where most players lose rewards.
Wave 1 (April 6–19): AK47 – Sacred Axe Rhitta
Invited friends must actively participate — passive accounts don't count
April 19 deadline is absolute. No extensions confirmed.
Wave 2 (April 17–May 3): M700 – Elizabeth
Slash-price mechanic tied to friend invites
Runs until event end — more breathing room
The April 17–19 overlap is your efficiency window. Invite activity during those three days progresses both tracks simultaneously. If you have limited active friends to invite, concentrate them here.
Prep your invite list before April 6. Reaching out to active players takes time — don't start on the day.
4. Gallery Tasks (April 13–29) — Shortest Window, Highest Stakes
Only 16 days. Unlocks the richest single reward cluster: Playpal – Second Form: Guardian, Avatar – Meliodas, Crossover Frame, and Title – Wrath of the Gods.
These are multi-step collection tasks, not single-click completions. Players who wait until April 20 routinely fail to finish the chain before April 29. Start on April 13 the moment they unlock, and treat each gallery step as a daily priority.
5. Team-Up Tasks (April 20–May 3)
Squad up to unlock Playpal – Hawk and Avatar – Elizabeth. Solo players can use in-game matching — no pre-formed squad required. Two-week window makes this the most forgiving task category.
F2P Daily Routine: 15 Minutes or Less

The One Mistake That Kills F2P Runs
Assuming passive login covers everything. It doesn't. Players who log in daily but skip Sin Mark Duel and ignore invites finish the event with only the Kar98k and Hawk avatar — leaving 3 weapon skins and 2 Playpals unclaimed.
Sin Mark Duel: How to Play It Efficiently
A hybrid battle royale mode with Crest Stone Pillars scattered across the map. Capturing a pillar grants temporary Crest Abilities — match-only combat buffs that don't carry over between sessions.
Community strategy consensus:
Rush the nearest pillar in the first 60 seconds — early control sets the tempo
Rotate to uncontested pillars rather than fighting over contested ones; the buff isn't worth an early death
Use Crest Abilities aggressively once you have them — they expire with the match anyway
Losses count for participation rewards. If you die early, queue again. You're hitting a threshold, not a leaderboard.
Premium vs Free: Honest Value Assessment
The free track is genuinely strong. Four weapon skins across four different classes (QBZ95, Kar98k, AK47, M700) plus three Playpals and a full cosmetic set — that's a haul that would cost significant diamonds in a standard gacha event.
The character skins (LUCIAN-Meliodas, EMMA-Elizabeth) are the premium showcase items of this collab. If you're a Seven Deadly Sins fan who wants full character representation, that's where they live. But complete the entire free track first — don't spend a single diamond until all 4 free weapon skins are secured.
For players who do want to top up, getting the best exchange rate matters across a 30-day event with multiple spending opportunities. Blood Strike (MENA) recharge best price options can meaningfully stretch your budget.
What Most Guides Miss
The April 17–19 overlap is a deliberate efficiency window. Most summaries list the two invite waves separately without flagging the three-day overlap. Any invite activity during April 17–19 progresses both the AK47 and M700 tracks. If you have limited active friends, concentrate them here.
Gallery tasks are multi-step, not single-click. The 16-day window sounds generous until you realize these require multiple completions across different days. Treat each gallery step as a daily priority from April 13 onward.
Late joiners post-April 20 can still recover most rewards — but the AK47 is gone (Wave 1 closed April 19) and early gallery items may be incomplete. Focus on: login (Kar98k), Sin Mark Duel (QBZ95 + Oslo), M700 invites (still open), team-up tasks (Hawk + Elizabeth avatar). That's still 3 weapon skins and 2 Playpals from a late start.
Manual reward claiming is required. Go into the event menu and claim after each task completion. Community reports confirm unclaimed rewards at May 3 may not be recoverable.
Late joiner on April 15? Don't write off the AK47. Wave 1 runs until April 19 — you still have 4 days to push invites hard. It's tight, but doable.
If you're timing any diamond spending for the premium gacha, topping up around April 17–20 gives you the full remaining window to use spins strategically. Players looking to buy Blood Strike (MENA) gems cheap can make a limited event budget go further.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get event skins after May 3? No. All rewards expire with no grace period and no confirmed return date. Free and premium alike.
Do I need to win Sin Mark Duel matches? No. Losses count. Play 2–3 matches per day and you'll hit the participation threshold.
What if I miss the AK47 deadline on April 19? It's gone. No extensions, no makeup tasks. Treat April 19 as a hard cutoff.
Is there a token or points system to track? No. No points economy, no exchange shop. Every reward unlocks directly via task completion. You can't grind currency to compensate for missed tasks.
Can I do gallery tasks solo? Yes. Gallery tasks (April 13–29) are solo-completable. Team-up tasks (April 20–May 3) require squad play, but in-game matching works if you don't have a regular group.
Are unlocked skins permanent? Yes. Once claimed during the event window, they're yours permanently. The expiry applies to the earning window, not items already in your inventory.
