Rewards

This event has five medals up for grabs: three as rewards for completion of the tour, and two for donations to a charity drive benefiting Child's Play. Clearing at least six of the seven available Intermediate difficulty missions earns the player the Bronze Beginner medal, clearing at least six of the thirteen available Advanced difficulty missions earns the player the Silver Soldier medal, and clearing at least twelve Advanced difficulty missions earns the player the Golden Great medal.

In addition, players can donate varying amounts through item or monetary donations to receive donor medals. Donating at least 5 USD earns the player the Juvenile's Jade medal, and donating at least 15 USD earns the player both the Juvenile's Jade and Marvellous Moonstone medals.

The Bronze Beginner, Silver Soldier, and Golden Great player medals all reuse their respective-colored canteen medals from Operation Canteen Crasher, while the Juvenile's Jade and Marvellous Moonstone donation medals reuse the same models as the Grandiose Garnet and Royal Rhodonite medals from Operation Madness vs Machines; however, both donor medals initially drop with custom painted colors which are not otherwise available in-game. The Juvenile's Jade medal drops with a special jade green color, and the Marvellous Moonstone drops with a special diamond blue color.

Each of the donor medals has two styles, named "Normal" and "Gem Only". The "Gem Only" style displays only the gemstones, without the surrounding metal frames.

The player medals were contributed to the Steam Workshop by Colteh, Rev, Swordstone, Wave, Nuke, Kratos, Benoist3012, Pelipoika, sigsegv, Hyperion, Hydrogen, sedisocks, Sntr, NeoDement, Star Bright, and interrobang.

The donor medals were contributed to the Steam Workshop by NeoDement, Sntr, Erikku, sigsegv, Jakapoa, Pelipoika, interrobang, Mayor Rev, Z-Ben, kratos, Nuke, Hydrogen, Hyperion, Potato's MvM Server, DaanBox, and Swordstone.

The content creator medal was contributed to the Steam Workshop by Gadget, LeSwordfish, and Hydrogen.
