# Experiential Rewards
Real-world recognition, from anime credits to appearing as a background character.
***
### Credit recognition
If your rank includes credit recognition, your name appears in GATE 2's official credits when the anime releases in 2027.
| Tier | Rank | Limit |
| ------------------------------- | --------------------- | ----- |
| End Credits (Random Episode) | Commander $1,000 only | 100 |
| End Credits (Pick Your Episode) | Captain $2,500 only | 50 |
| Opening Credits (All Episodes) | Admiral $10,000 only | 10 |
Each tier receives its own credits placement. These are tier-exclusive and do not carry over to higher ranks.
> ⚠️ Submission deadline: June 10, 2026. You'll receive a form to submit your name exactly as you want it to appear.
***
### Background character cameo
**Available to Petty Officer and above via the GATE 2 Cameo Raffle.**
Appear in GATE 2 as a non-speaking background character designed from a likeness or original character you submit. Winners are selected through a Valor-weighted raffle with 3 draws between March 30 and April 7, 2026.
Winners submit reference images (selfies, original characters, or VTuber models they own), and Studio M2's production team creates a character inspired by the submission.
> ⚠️ **Final reference submission deadline: April 10, 2026.** The production team needs this lead time to design and incorporate each character.
*Final character design, placement, screen time, and scene usage are at the production team's creative discretion. Cameo appearances are non-speaking background roles, and placement depends on the opportunities available throughout the series.*

### Special events
Higher ranks may receive priority access to exclusive GATE 2 events as they become available. These could include early screenings, premiere events, community gatherings, creator interactions, and potentially a dedicated GATE art exhibition.
Locations, formats, and availability will vary. Details will be shared closer to the anime's release.

### Limited reward availability
Some experiential rewards have strict quantity limits (10, 50, or 100 available). The campaign page shows remaining availability in real time.
**Before you contribute:** If a limited reward at your selected tier has sold out, you'll see a notice before completing payment. You can choose to proceed with all other rewards at that tier, or select a different tier.
**Spots can reopen:** When a supporter upgrades to a higher rank, their previous limited reward may become available again. Reopened spots are filled from the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis. If a reward you want is sold out, join the waitlist to hold your place in line.
