So, yeah. Self-evident title and everything, post will get a bit long so prepare for reading, it's be split up to be relatively easy to follow.

First off, some general info about badges and stuff that you might want to read before you get into the suggestion:

There currently is a total of 5 badges, with 2 badges currently obtainable. Each have different amounts of owners, with generally the newer badges having more owners then the older badges. The amount of owners (and the estimate of active owners) will determine the reward for each badge. Just because one badge might have less owners then the other, it does not justify making a reward OP, or generally giving a very big advantage over other players who don't have it. The 2016 release event with the King Crab boss did not get a badge, but given the many items you could get with tickets, it doesnt need its own reward. Here's a link to every badge:

With all that out of the way, let's get into the rewards themselves:

First created and first on the list: Killed Creator



This badge is arguably the rarest out of the 5, with about 1700 total owners, and I'd estimate around 1000 active owners at the most. Despite that, it's still obtainable with your best chance of getting this prestigious award is around update launches where PlaceRebuilder will be ingame without a doubt. If it isn't obvious enough already, you can obtain this badge by killing PlaceRebuilder in R2DA. To make it even harder, you have to kill him while he is a survivor. Doesn't matter which gamemode, just has to have the final blow landed by you.

The Reward: Given all that I just stated, and the fact that it's always gonna be obtainable, the rewards aren't gonna be the flashiest and the best. For obtaining this badge, I would give the Corsair Karambit skin (i'm a sucker for giving a fair chance at everything in the game to everyone), 5 skin crates and a free hour of double exp. I understand PR might not want rewards for killing him and getting the badge because it'd encourage killing him even more, but c'mon, he's the creator and this badge is more then enough to get people aiming to kill him.

The second badge and the award for the first ever event: Won Christmas Event 2015



This badge is right up there with the Killed Creator badge in terms of rarity, also arguably the rarest out of the 5 (my own opinion is that this is the rarest badge, although it has around 3500 owners, there's a lot less active owners and you also can't get this badge anymore). If you wanted to get this badge, you had to defeat the Yeti in the 2015 Christmas Event. The first event and the first boss to ever be added, this badge also is the only one to have its own reward, the Christmas Tree.

The Reward: Given the extreme rarity of this badge and the fact that it already has a reward (albeit weak and basically just a useless collectible), owning this badge will give you access to a Brute reskin, the Yeti. '''The best way for this whole thing to work is that you can toggle an option in settings to spawn you as the Yeti Brute whenever you get a free brute. You could also buy one without turning on the option by going into the zombie live store and buying one, costing the same as the brute.''' The (almost entirely a) reskin would replace the player's Brute with a Yeti, same package as the boss. Instead of a club, the Yeti would hold a club shaped piece of ice. Works the same as the Brute until the Yeti gets charged, gets red eyes instead of the blueish and has snow particles all around it. The Charged Yeti would have the same stats as a Charged Brute except instead of the stunning electric smash, the Charged Yeti would have ice pop out of the ground in 3 directions in front of them, stunning and damaging anyone it hits.

The third badge and the avenging of Lord Pumpkin: Won Halloween Event 2016



This badge is very average owners-wise, with a nice 8,665 owners. I'd estimate active owners with around 5000 active owners, but I'm probably fairly off. If you wanted to obtain this badge, you had to defeat Lord Pumpkin Jr. in the 2016 halloween event. This event had the pretty sweet reward of the easy to obtain in large amounts Boopacks, which many survivors still have large amounts of to this day.

The Reward: Considering the uncommonish rarity of the badge, and the fact that most players could easily get a lot of Boopacks for free which are still very good to this day, i'm going to go with an Edgar (completely) reskin and a bonus ability. This reskin would work the same in using as the Yeti Brute reskin, you can disable or enable spawning as one every time you spawn as an Edgar in settings, and you can optionally buy one in the zombie live store for the same price as the regular Edgar. The reskin would appear as a ghostly version of the Smoker from R2D. Slightly transparent, old zombie green Smoker head, and a red tongue while the current Edgar of R2DA gets his red tongue replaced with a green tongue, like the R2D Edgar. Alongside that, the player gets a bonus ability where they are immune to Boos, they cannot be picked up by them. May seem useless, but this will come into play later.

The fourth badge and the 2nd Christmas Event: Won Christmas Event 2016



This badge currently has the most owners out of all the badges, but will eventually be overtaken by the Chronos XI badge as it is permanent. I'd estimate 7.5k (at least semi) active owners at the most out of 13.5, but I'm probably way off here. Not gonna take into account active owners here because of that. This badge was awarded to anyone who defeated the Rhi-snow boss, simple enough.

The Reward: With the most owners out of all, this badge is bound to have the most average award. Considering how the frozen effect hasn't been used EVER outside of bosses, this badge definitely needs to give something that makes use of the effect. My idea for this would require to give ITEMS attachments, which may be a bit of work on PR's end. Either way, you would get a Fire Extinguisher attachment that makes the stuff you shoot out of the Extinguisher a lot colder. The Fire Extinguisher would turn blue with the attachment equipped, and would have some special abilities on top of its existing ones. Alongside flinging zombies away from you, spraying zombies with the Extinguisher would also apply the frozen effect to them alongside knocking them back. The "Frost" Extinguisher would also freeze toxic waste puddles, turning them into slippery puddles that zombies will be slowed down and will also slide across. Finally, you could make artifical snow piles by spraying the same empty spot for a bit using a fair bit of ammo. These snow piles can be used to make snowballs as long as you have the snowball item equipped. Basically, an item attachment that is a buff for the Fire Extinguisher.

The (currently) final badge and the first perm event: Defeated Chronos XI



This badge is the 2nd permanent badge after the Killed Creator badge. It already has over 10k owners, and considering how recent the badge is, it has the most active owners out of all of the badges. I'd argue at least 7.5k active owners. This badge is... different. It's a permanent boss which means the badge will always be obtainable, and the boss itself has a special Chronos Chest that gives you a reward in itself. This badge doesn't really need a reward, does it? Before the Chronos Chest, I'd say sure.

The Reward?: None. Nada. Considering everything about this permanent boss, it doesn't need a reward besides the badge itself and the free money, items, and the Fireaxe attachment you can get from it.

And finally, some general rewards that apply to the 2 Christmas Event badges, and the 1 Halloween Event badge.

By owning these, you should get access to play them if you own a VIP server, You'll be able to choose the boss maps as the map for the VIP server, and play them whenever you want along with everyone else who joins the VIP server. But, be warned, because if you're expecting to be able to get people the event badges or and significant rewards, you're wrong. The only things you get from beating these old bosses is a bit of money and xp, no badge, nothing else. The bosses would obviously be rebalanced health-wise to not be super easy or super hard with the current weapons.

And... oof... That's it.

It's a long post, yeah, but I think I made it worth the read at least a little bit. Give feedback on how this could be more balanced or whine how you missed the badge so you wouldnt hypothetically get the rewards. Thanks for reading!
