What does the Mountain Dew FFXIV promotion have to offer?
The Mountain Dew and FFXIV promotion isn’t the first time a beverage or a fast food company teamed up with a popular video game. These types of collaborations have become increasingly common, offering players exclusive in-game items in exchange for purchasing specific products.
In this case, players who bought specially marked cans of Mountain Dew with FFXIV branding who are in the United States could earn points towards redeeming the Mountain Zu mount.
These participating products contained unique codes that players could redeem for points on a dedicated website, starting at May 16th and ending at July 14th.
How to get Mountain Zu mount with the Mountain Dew FFXIV promo
Players needed to buy cans or bottles of Mountain Dew that displayed the FFXIV promotion branding.
Each participating product came with a unique code that players needed to enter on the mtndewgaming FFXIV website. This website tracks the accumulated points and indicates progress towards the Mountain Zu mount redeem threshold.
Once a player collected enough points, typically by purchasing a specific number of participating Mountain Dew products, they could redeem the mount code through the same website.
The redeem code could then be entered within the FFXIV game itself. The Mountain Zu mount would then be delivered to the player’s in-game mailbox, ready to be used in their adventures across Eorzea.
The specific flavors and point values associated with each flavor could vary depending on the region. For instance, some players reported that certain flavors, like Purple Thunder or Frost Bite, might have offered higher point values compared to others.
