CAPS
CAPS, aka Community Action Points, are a reward system we use to say Thank You to our players.
They are given by game runners to folks who go above and beyond for the game. This might mean helping other players, volunteering for extra NPC shifts, or engaging with social media. There are always opportunities to earn some CAPS, so keep your eyes peeled.
Which brings us to the next question: What are CAPS used for? At Haze Hollow, we have a handy list showing everything you can use those sweet, sweet, CAPS to buy.
