In the frosty world of Whiteout Survival, survivors eagerly await the monthly Fishing Tournament. This special event is a fantastic opportunity to cast a line into the icy depths and reel in incredible rewards! Each tournament is linked to a specific in-game season, and with every season comes a diverse range of fish. While some hardy species swim all year round, the rarest catches are only found during specific times, making every tournament a unique challenge.

Participating is straightforward but requires skill 🎣. When you begin, your hook starts its descent. The key is to navigate left and right, avoiding fish and obstacles to reach the deepest waters. Why go deep? The most legendary and valuable fish lurk in the darkest depths! Once your hook stops descending, you can then swipe it towards a fish's mouth to make your catch.

Two Exciting Fishing Modes!

Players have two distinct ways to fish: Ice Fishing and the premium Frosty Prospector.

  • Ice Fishing 🧊: The core free-to-play mode. You use bait to fish.

    • Start each tournament with 5 free baits.

    • Receive 1 additional bait automatically every 3 hours.

    • Maximum bait storage is 10.

    • Crucially, you must upgrade your Fishing Kit here to improve.

  • Frosty Prospector 💎: The advanced mode for serious anglers.

    • Requires Treasure Charts to fish (one per attempt).

    • Charts are rare! Obtain them by:

      1. Purchasing the Fishing Pro Set.

      2. Reaching specific Ice Fishing Club milestones.

    • Major Benefit: Your Fishing Kit is already at max level here!

Master Your Fishing Kit (Level 1-10)

Your success in Ice Fishing hinges on upgrading your kit using Fishing Tokens earned from catches. The kit has three vital components:

Item Function & Upgrade Benefit Max Level Effect
Line 🧵 Determines maximum diving depth. Reach incredible depths of up to 550 meters to find the rarest fish!
Hook 🪝 Determines how many fish you can catch per attempt. Hold more fish in one go, maximizing your bait efficiency!
Sinker ⚓️ Sets the starting depth for your hook's descent. Begin your dive safely from up to 150 meters, bypassing early obstacles!

Unlock Powerful Special Items

Elevate your game with four special items, obtainable from the Fishing Pro Set or Ice Fishing Club milestones:

  1. Horn of Poseidon 📯: Summon a specific fish of your choice for your current attempt! Its distance from your hook is displayed, but you still need to reach it.

  2. Reel Stabilizer 🛡️: Protects your hook during descent. Lets you safely bump into 2 extra fish/objects before your line retracts.

  3. Ocean Scanner 🗺️: Reveals the location and distance of rare fish as your hook ascends, making them much easier to target.

  4. Lantern 💡: Essential for deep dives! Illuminates the waters beyond 300 meters, where it's normally too dark to see and avoid obstacles.
