EMPULSE is better when more players are playing.
More players means more chaos, more movement, more clutch plays, more ridiculous P.A.I.N.T. moments, and more reasons to queue up again. So for Early Access, we’re launching Refer-a-Friend: a way to reward players who help bring more people into EMPULSE.
Share your code, bring your friends in, and earn in-game rewards and real cash when they play.
Every player gets a referral code. Share that code with a friend who is new to EMPULSE. When they buy the game, enter your code, and play 2 hours, both of you earn in-game rewards.
And you can also earn real cash for each friend you refer!
To earn cash rewards, you need to have a 1047 Games account. Once your referral goes through, you will get an email from us with instructions on how to claim your cash rewards.
We want to reward and celebrate players who help grow EMPULSE from day one.
Both the referrer and the referred friend earn in-game rewards.
Eligible referrers can also earn up to $5 per referral. Cash rewards may vary based on the referral’s local purchase price and region.
We know cash rewards can get confusing, so here's the gist: you earn based on what your friend actually spends. If they're in a region where the game costs less, your reward will be a bit lower to match, but in regions that are full price like the US, you will get $5 (not counting any potential bank processing fees).
To redeem cash rewards as a referrer, you need to:
Be 18 or older
Have a 1047 Games account
Be in a supported cash payout region
Cash payouts are currently only supported for eligible players in the United States and Europe. That limitation comes from our payment provider’s current regional support, and we hope to expand availability to more countries in the future.
Players outside supported cash payout regions can still participate in Refer-a-Friend and earn in-game rewards.
For a referral to qualify, your friend needs to:
Enter your referral code within 7 days of first downloading EMPULSE
Enter your referral code within their first 100 minutes of in-match playtime
Play at least 130 minutes of in-match time
Not refund the game
Referral codes are locked once entered, so make sure your friend uses the right one.
Cash rewards will take roughly 30 days to become available.
The reason is simple: we need to make sure the purchase sticks before we pay out the reward. This helps prevent refund abuse and keeps the program fair for everyone. Basically, you get paid once we do.
Once your reward is ready, you’ll receive a link with instructions for how to claim your cash. You may need to link your bank account and complete any required verification before funds can be transferred.
There is no upper limit to how much you can earn by referring friends. As long as you keep bringing in more players, you can keep cashing out!
If you earn more than $600 and are in the US, you’ll have to file a tax form - but don’t worry, if that happens you’ll receive an email with the correct forms.
On the flip side, the minimum cashout amount is just $5 (a requirement of our payment processor). That means you’ll be able to cash out as soon as you’ve referred one or two friends (depending on where they’re from) once they’ve played for a while.
EMPULSE is still early. That is the whole point of Early Access. We want more players in the game, more feedback coming in, and more friends stacking into matches together.
If you’re having fun, bring someone in.
If you think they’ll love the movement, send them your code.
If they want to fly across the map, slam into a fight, miss every shot, somehow win anyway, and immediately queue again, EMPULSE is probably for them.
Refer-a-Friend is live now!
Grab your code, bring your friends, and we’ll see you in Eidolon.
