How to Get Showdown Shades, Hammer in Creator Showdown

The Block team introduced a correction to the Creator Showdown reward system after the voting-day issues. Instead of locking items permanently based on your original guesses, your rewards now depend on a simple quest you can complete inside the game. This quest determines whether you stay at your current reward tier or rise to the next one.

How the Tier System Works Now

Your progression is entirely based on the reward badge you currently own:

• If you already had Shades, completing the quest upgrades you to the Hammer.
• If you had the Hammer, completing the quest upgrades you to the Antlers.
• If you missed the event entirely, completing the quest grants you Shades, but you cannot move any higher.

Event Availability Window

This fix is active only until December 8, so players must complete the quest before that deadline. The quest does not repeat; once you earn the item connected to your tier, that is your final reward.

What You Can Earn Based on Your Status

Your current position decides your maximum possible reward.

If You Owned Nothing Before

Completing the quest grants you the Showdown Shades.
You cannot upgrade beyond this tier.

If You Owned the Shades Before

Completing the quest grants you the Hammer.

If You Owned the Hammer Before

Completing the quest grants you the Antlers, which is the highest tier.

If You Missed Everything Entirely

You can still join the game and complete the quest, but you will only receive the Shades.

How the Quest Works in the Afterparty

The quest centers on performing a full DJ track and earning three thumbs-up likes from players in the server. You must achieve three likes on one single song; progressing to the next track resets the like counter.

Accessing the DJ Setup

Enter the game and look for the quest indicator. Then:

1. Open the Music tab.
2. Add songs by pressing the plus icon.
3. Join the DJ Queue.
4. Wait until you are the active DJ.

Completing the Track Correctly

To satisfy the quest conditions:

• Play one full song from start to finish.
• Receive three likes during that same song.
• Do not transition into the next track before you hit three likes, or the counter resets.

Tips for Securing Likes Quickly

Playing in a public server increases your chances dramatically because many players are completing the same quest. Most players will actively like each other’s tracks to help everyone progress quickly.

Receiving Your Reward

Once you finish the track with three likes:

• A badge appears confirming quest completion.
• Your account automatically receives the reward for your current tier.
• Rejoining the game will not reset the quest or grant additional items.

Checking Your Inventory

Your new cosmetic item appears under your Roblox inventory. The moment the badge is awarded, the reward is permanent.

Clarifying Final Limitations

This system does not allow infinite upgrading. Your maximum possible reward depends strictly on what you owned before the fix rolled out.

Final Tier Rules

• Shades owners can reach the Hammer.
• Hammer owners can reach the Antlers.
• New or inactive players can only reach the Shades.
• Antlers cannot be earned if you never owned the Hammer beforehand.

Summary of the Fix

The update provides a fair way for players to complete their reward path without redoing the flawed voting system. The quest ensures that each player gets exactly one tier above what they previously earned, while newcomers still receive something meaningful without overreaching the original event rewards.
