Sudden Attack Zero Point Pre-Season Daily Login Event
July 30 – August 12, 2026 — three Key Cards every eligible login day during Steam Early Access Pre-Season.
Nexon’s Daily Login Event runs through Sudden Attack Zero Point Pre-Season from July 30 through August 12, 2026. Each eligible login day grants 3 Key Cards that unlock or upgrade Open Weapon Parts Crates — the highest-value Check-in track of launch month. Missing a day costs more than skipping one bad match because Key Cards feed directly into your first competitive weapon builds and optional Sandstorm Epic part pulls tied to Pre-Season Launch.
This page tracks event dates, claim workflow, crate strategy, and how Daily Login stacks with Playtime and Victory tracks on Events & Rewards. Pair it with Weapon Crates for open-versus-sell math.

How to claim Key Cards daily
Nexon’s FAQ states Check-in, Playtime, and Victory events enroll automatically when you play — the event icon appears at the top of the lobby. Daily Login Key Cards still require disciplined habits:
- Launch the client and reach the lobby — a successful login, not just Steam boot, often counts.
- Confirm the event icon is visible and no maintenance banner blocks claims.
- Visit saz.nexon.com if a regional web banner requires Participate for bundled rewards.
- Claim 3 Key Cards before KST midnight if your streak resets on Korean server time.
- Log claims in screenshots during Early Access bug windows.
If mailbox rewards lag, wait fifteen minutes, relog, and recheck the web portal — troubleshooting table on Events & Rewards.
Key Card and crate strategy
Key Cards are not free SP — they are lottery tickets with expected value tied to crate pools:
- Do not burn every card day one unless your Loadout Planner is empty and you need any shared recoil part.
- Open in batches after you identify your main primary from Best Loadouts.
- Sell duplicates on the Black Market before prices crash from event floods — Black Market Items.
- Track Sandstorm Epic pulls separately — test in Practice before listing at launch-week spikes.

Stacking with Playtime and Victory
Daily Login is the lowest-effort income layer. Stack it with:
- Playtime — TDM on Folk Village or Warehouse for fast minutes when bomb stress is high.
- Victory — Coordinated bomb wins on Metro, City Cat, and siblings on Bomb Defusal Maps.
Sample 90-minute day-one route:
- Claim Daily Login Key Cards.
- Ten minutes Practice recoil — may not count Playtime; verify event fine print.
- Two TDM matches for warm-up + minutes.
- Two bomb wins for Victory tier push — Bomb Defusal Guide.
- Open one crate batch if shared staples are still missing.
Calendar and remaining days
Pre-Season began July 30, 2026. The event ends August 12, 2026 — 14 eligible calendar days in the window, minus any days you miss. After August 12, expect reduced Check-in value or rotated cosmetic tracks — watch Updates hub and Roadmap 2026.
The Updates hub live changelog tracks remaining days during Pre-Season week two.
What Daily Login funds in Pre-Season
Key Card opens seed:
- Shared recoil and reload parts — mandatory for Tier List S-tier rifles.
- Sandstorm Epic — Pre-Season exclusive tied to crate pools and events.
- Tradable duplicates — SP via Black Market instead of instant opens.
- Future skin lines — some campaigns bundle cosmetics; character pages like Judith Hawk track skin seasons.
Weapon power beats cosmetic gambling for week-one win rate — but missing Daily Login leaves free value on the table.
