When you feed Rover a Rover Treat, your capture radius for certain munzee types (see below) will be doubled or raised to a minimum of 500 ft for one capture! For example, if the munzee normally requires a capture radius of 300 ft, it will be doubled to 600 ft. And if the munzee normally requires a capture radius of 150 ft, it will be raised to the minimum of 500 ft.
Which Munzee Types' Capture Radii Can Be Extended?
- In general, most virtual scattered munzees EXCEPT:
- Scatters that land on another munzee, such as Charge Munzees
- Scatters that come from munzees that land on another munzee, such as the Prank Munzees which were our April 2021 MOBs
- Amethysts
- -- UPDATE: As of 3/18/2022 -- Greeting Cards
At launch Rover will only help you capture the aforementioned types, however he may be trained to chase other types in the future.
How to Extend Your Capture Radius
- Make sure you have a Rover with you
- An easy way to check is to go to your Profile --> [Rovers] --> [Rover Kennel]. It will tell you if you have no Rovers with you
- If you have no Rovers with you, look for one on the map nearby! Then simply tap the [...] in the top-right corner of that munzee's details --> [Rovers] and [Fetch] it!
- Otherwise, you can ask another player if they'd be kind enough to drop one near you, or buy one yourself in the In-App Store or Freeze Tag Store.
- Try to capture a virtual scattered munzee or Amethyst that is too far away
- You will see a popup as shown below -- to send Rover to capture the far away munzee, it will cost 1 Rover Treat
- If you don't have any Rover Treats, you can tap the green [Visit Store] button to quickly purchase one from the In-App Store for 40 Zeds -- once you've done so, it will IMMEDIATELY continue the capture process -- so you won't have to tap through another popup to confirm you want to use it!
-
- Otherwise, if you already have a Rover Treat (or more), you'll just need to tap on the treat button to continue the capture process
-
- If you don't have any Rover Treats, you can tap the green [Visit Store] button to quickly purchase one from the In-App Store for 40 Zeds -- once you've done so, it will IMMEDIATELY continue the capture process -- so you won't have to tap through another popup to confirm you want to use it!
This flow should prevent you from wasting Rover Treats, and also ensure that the popup won’t be too disruptive during normal play!
Where Can I Buy Rover Treats?
You can pick up Rover Treats in the In-App Store for 40 Zeds, or get a pack of 10 Rover Treats in the Freeze Tag Store for $3.
-- UPDATE: As of 5/12/2021 -- If you cap a Physical Trail, you have a chance of finding a Rover Treat! If you do find one, the deployer will receive one as well!
