Cameras

Cameras in Pictographs are essential NFT assets that unlock the core gameplay experience. Each camera is a unique digital collectible verified on the blockchain, allowing players to own, trade, or utilize it within the ecosystem. Beyond their role in completing photo quests, cameras influence your energy (volts), rewards, and progression, making them a key component of your journey in Pictographs.

Characteristics Every camera has three primary characteristics that impact gameplay. These can be upgraded by allocating points earned through leveling up, using temporary boosters, or installing permanent upgrades (for cameras with upgrade sockets):

• Lens: Increases the amount of $PICTO tokens earned from quests. Higher Lens values result in greater rewards.

• Streak Power: Enhances the quality of streak rewards (cases). Higher values unlock better cases based on streak length.

• Cleanability: Reduces the cost of cleaning in $PICTO tokens. Higher Cleanability means less frequent and cheaper maintenance.

Cleanness Mechanics Cameras get dirty with use, affecting their efficiency. A clean camera ensures maximum quest rewards, while dirtiness reduces payouts:

• 100%-50% Cleanness: Full quest rewards

• 49%-10% Cleanness: Rewards decrease linearly from 100% to 10%

• <10% Cleanness: Rewards are capped at 10%.

Players must monitor and maintain their camera’s cleanness to optimize earnings, spending $PICTO tokens to clean it as needed.
