Upgrades

There are three upgrades you can buy, two mandatory for progress and one optional.

Tier 2 Shovel The Tier 2 shovel requires 200 Snowflakes and 250 spots dug, but provides a dig amount of 9 making your bucket fill up in just 5 digs. This upgrade also allows you to dig at Beach 2.

Tier 3 Shovel The Tier 3 shovel requires 350 Snowflakes, 500 spots dug and the Tier 2 shovel unlocked. It provides a dig amount of 15 allowing your bucket to fill up in just 3 digs. This upgrade also allows you to dig at Beach 3.

Magic Bucket The magic bucket upgrade allows you to wash your bucket anywhere at the payoff of combining all the loot pools in a single roll. It is an effective tool for collecting but not target farming.
