Reaper Actual Foundation Pack Series 1 Mint Kicks Off on Etherlink

A New Era for Blockchain Shooters Begins

The battlefield is heating up — and it’s not just in-game. The Reaper Actual Foundation Pack Series 1 mint officially goes live on October 8, 2025, at 4 PM UTC on Etherlink, giving players the first real chance to jump into the blockchain-powered extraction shooter.

Developed by Distinct Possibility Studios, Reaper Actual aims to redefine what blockchain gaming can be — combining the high-stakes intensity of tactical FPS combat with the ownership and trading freedom of NFTs. If you’ve been looking for the next big blockchain game that actually feels like a AAA experience, this one’s worth keeping an eye on.

What Exactly Is Reaper Actual?

At its core, Reaper Actual is an open-world, persistent extraction shooter set on Marova, a massive, war-torn island where hundreds of players and five AI-controlled factions battle for survival and dominance.

Think large-scale warfare, base building, and survival — all wrapped in a dynamic, evolving world. The developers want Marova to feel alive and ever-changing, even when you’re offline. Player actions will shape the world, meaning your choices — whether to build, raid, or ally — actually matter.

Distinct Possibility Studios describes the game as a “persistent, punishing, and alive” experience. And from what’s been shared so far, that description fits perfectly.

Foundation Alpha: The First Step Into the Battlefield

Launching alongside the mint, Foundation Alpha marks the start of early testing for the game. This phase gives supporters early access to Reaper Actual’s first build, letting them test out gameplay systems, offer direct feedback, and help shape the upcoming Early Access release planned for 2026.

CEO John Smedley — a familiar name in MMO and online gaming circles — emphasized that early participants will have a unique opportunity to influence development direction. Foundation players who purchase NFTs directly through the studio’s marketplace will also receive tradable in-game items, such as Reaper characters, bases, and cosmetic assets.

Importantly, all blockchain components are optional. Players can enjoy Reaper Actual entirely as a traditional shooter, or dive deeper into the web3 experience through Etherlink’s smart contract systems — owning and trading their digital assets freely.

Breaking Down the Foundation Pack Series 1

Now, let’s talk about what’s actually up for grabs. Foundation Pack Series 1 NFTs serve as entry passes to the game’s early ecosystem, offering both access and ownership benefits.

Each pack includes Reaper NFTs (your playable characters) and Base NFTs (your personal hubs in Marova). Both are required to play the web3 version of Reaper Actual.

There are three editions available, each offering different levels of access and content:

1. Standard Edition – $29.99

• 1× Reaper NFT (Havoc)

• 1× Bunker NFT near KAM International Airport

• Access to the Web3 Developer Discord channel

2. Charon’s Pact (Erebus) Edition – $49.99

• 2× Reaper NFTs (Havoc and Viper)

• 1× Bunker NFT near KAM International Airport

• Access to the Web3 Developer Discord channel

3. Stygian Oath Edition – $74.99

• 4× Reaper NFTs (Havoc, Viper, Thor, and Luna)

• 1× Warehouse Base near KAM International Airport

• Access to both Web3 Developer and VIP Web3 Discord channels

All NFTs in these packs are tradable assets on supported secondary markets. Once the limited supply sells out, the only way to get in will be through resales.

Why These NFTs Matter

Beyond early access, Foundation Pack NFTs represent ownership in the Reaper Actual ecosystem. Owning a Base NFT gives you a strategic foothold on Marova, acting as your personal hub for storing loot, crafting, and managing resources.

As the game’s persistent economy evolves, these bases are expected to play a major role — possibly influencing how factions control resources and territory.

Meanwhile, Reaper NFTs act as your characters, potentially unlocking new appearances, abilities, or even reputation benefits in the final release.

It’s a rare case of NFTs that are actually useful in gameplay, not just cosmetic.

How to Mint Your Foundation Pack

Getting your pack is straightforward — but timing matters. The mint is strictly first come, first served, with no whitelists, presales, or reserved allocations.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Mint Date: October 8, 2025

• Time: 12 PM EST / 4 PM UTC

• Network: Etherlink (built on Tezos Smart Rollups)

• Payment: Etherlink USDC or Credit Card

• Official Site: reaperactual.com

You’ll need an Etherlink-compatible wallet or a credit card to complete the purchase. Players can bridge USDC via bridge.etherlink.com if needed, and gas fees are paid in $XTZ.

Once minted, your NFTs will appear in your connected wallet and immediately grant access to Foundation Alpha.

A Word From the Developers

Smedley summed up the studio’s approach best:

“Foundation players who purchase directly through our marketplace will receive tradable items, enabling ownership and the ability to trade Reapers, bases, and cosmetics with other players. We believe this offers the widest range of choice for players and look forward to seeing how the world evolves over time.”

That’s a promising sign — especially for gamers tired of “play-to-earn” models that feel like chores. Reaper Actual seems focused on fun first, with blockchain serving as a meaningful layer of ownership rather than a gimmick.

The Future of Reaper Actual and Web3 Shooters

With Foundation Alpha kicking off and minting now live, Reaper Actual is positioning itself as one of the most ambitious blockchain shooters on the horizon.

For players interested in first-person extraction shooters or titles that blend traditional gameplay with true asset ownership, this could be your best early opportunity to get in.
