Welcome Cap - RIA26 The Block Wiki
The free head accessory handed to every player the moment they enter the hub.
Overview
The Welcome Cap is the easiest of the six free UGC items in RIA26 The Block — it is awarded automatically the moment you join the experience. Created by Twin Atlas, it is a sleek cap branded with the Innovation Awards 2026 emblem.
How to Unlock the Welcome Cap
