Grand Mesa Week 2 Reward Includes a Guaranteed Legendary Drop
You can unlock a Legendary Loot Box during Week 2 of the Grand Mesa event. This special box guarantees at least one Legendary item when you open it.
To earn it, you must complete 80 total matches during the event. Stadium games speed up the process because they grant double progress, and a Stadium win counts even more. A victory in this mode provides four times the normal advancement, which significantly reduces the grind.
Alongside the Legendary box, you can collect several Sierra-themed cosmetics and bonuses:
- 2 Sierra voice lines
- Sierra spray
- Sierra player icon
- Sierra name card
- 3 Season 2 Battle Pass tier skips
- Player title
- 1 additional standard loot box
You can complete challenges faster by selecting Sierra for the Squad Leader objective. Queueing for Role Queue and choosing the “All” option helps you stack progress, since match completion counts toward multiple challenges at the same time.
Focus on Stadium wins and overlapping objectives to secure the Legendary reward efficiently.
