FAQ

SpecialEffect? What do they do?

• SpecialEffect helps people with disabilities play video games! Everyone's abilities are different. After visiting and finding exact needs, they use technology ranging from creating modified joypads to eye-control systems to help those gamers do what we all already love doing!

What's GameBlast?

• SpecialEffect runs a fundraising event every year called GameBlast. It's a weekend full of streaming and having fun, while also raising money to help the charity. I've personally been part of GameBlast for the last 4 years. The mod team thought it would be fun to invite the Apex Community this time too!

Is this legit? I don't trust online charity stuff...

• I completely understand that. SpecialEffect accepts donations through JustGiving or Tiltify charity campaigns. Donations can be made through debit/credit cards or through PayPal on these sites. Money that is donated goes directly from your account through the campaign site to the charity. No weird exchanges, no extra hands grabbing it up, no funny business. SpecialEffect's Charity Code is 1121004.

What's with the donations being in pounds? Are raffle prizes available for everyone?

• Everyone is eligible to win! SpecialEffect is UK based. Whenever you donate, you'll need to keep the conversion factor in mind from pounds to your currency. I've updated the incentives to be a bit more USD friendly!

Raffle prizes?! What's up with that?

We have a few different things to raffle off to donators! If you donate at a certain level, you'll be entered to win all other prizes below. (ex: if you donate £40/$51.90 to enter the poster raffle, you'll also be entered to win a game with Chris Edgerly, a special game edition and an Apex Coin code!)

• Apex Coins (donated by Respawn) (£1/$1.30 donation)

  • 5 PC 1000 Apex Coin Codes
  • 5 X1 1000 Apex Coin Codes
  • 5 PS4 Starter Pack Codes (600 Apex Coins + Blue Fade RE-45 weapon skin + Feeding Frenzy badge)

• Apex Legends: Special Editions (£8/$10.38 donation)

  • 5 Special Editions (winners choice! Octane, Lifeline or Bloodhound)

• NEWLY ADDED: Squad up with Chris Edgerly (Pathfinder VA) - X1 Only (£10/$12.95 donation)

  • 2 spots - Do you want a high five? Chris Edgerly (Pathfinder's voice actor) will give you one when you squad up to play Apex together! (X1 only)

• Super Special Reddit and/or Discord Flair/Role (£20/$25.95 donation)

  • Are you super active on the community subreddit or Discord? Want to show off that you also support good causes and charities? You've come to the right incentive. 5 lucky people will get a very special flair on Reddit and/or role on Discord, showing the whole community that you truly are a Legend.

• Apex Legends - Legend Posters SIGNED by Devs + Flair/Role (£40/$51.90 donation)

  • We will be giving away 3 of 6 posters during this charity event. The others will be saved for future community events and raffles. The following images are available:
  • Gibraltar | Caustic | Mirage
    
    | Wraith
    
    | Bangalore
    
    | Lifeline
    
  • Please note: If you win this, we will need your address in order to ship the poster.
  • Everyone who donates over £40 will also receive the special Reddit flair and Discord role!

There’s random streams listed on the Tiltify campaign link.. What’s up with that?

• People who are part of the team have their stream link on the main campaign link. Different people will be streaming throughout the weekend. You do not have to tune in to donate or enter the raffles! Most will just be playing games. Gladpus will have a few special guests on to talk about accessibility in gaming, if you’re interested in learning more!

• Our friend, Kait Paschall, joined for a bit to talk and play some DND. Feel free to reach out to her on Twitter if you have questions about accessibility in gaming. She's a great resource and super knowledgeable! We also talked with Becky Frost from SpecialEffect for a bit and she's also around to help on Twitter!

Hey, I'm a streamer too. Can I help out?

• YES!! Feel free to use the donation link already provided. You can also join the team to make custom overlays after creating an account on Tiltify.com. If you have any issues joining the team, please DM me (Emmerlynn) with the email address used to create the account and I can add you directly.
• Available Overlays:
  • Titifly Overlay 1.0 (100% width, cause name + avatar, progress bar, goal, amount raised, last donor and top donor)
  • Compact Overlay (60% width, cause name + avatar, progress bar, goal, amount raised, last donor, next milestone and top donor)

There’s a lot of other GameBlast campaigns and teams out there… Why donate here?

• It’s completely up to you, if you want to donate and where you want to donate! If you donate here, you could win one of the prizes listed above. Regardless of where you donate, all of the money goes to the same place and is for the same great cause!

That's about it! What do you say, Legends? Want to help some fellow gamers?!

This charity event is being run by the moderators of /r/apexlegends (specifically Emmerlynn), NOT Respawn or EA. As always, please follow Reddiquette in the comments.
