Everybody welcome!

So, this is my first puzzle giveaway, and I hope it goes well!

Remember, no spoiling please.

Only lasts until October 19th about 8am Eastern or about 12pm GMT. Contributor 30.01 required.

Moving on to the good stuff :) Here is the puzzle.

4d 54 45 78 4d 6a 49 79 4d 44 45 77 4d 6a 49 79 4d 54 49 79 4d 6a 45 78 4d 54 49 79 4d 6a 41 77 4d 44 41 79 4d 6a 49 79 4d 6a 49 79 4d 44 45 78 4d 54 45 79 4d 6a 49 77 4d 44 41 79 4d 6a 49 78 4d 6a 49 79 4d 6a 49 79 4d 6a 45 78 4d 54 49 79 4d 6a 49 79 4d 6a 49 77 4d 44 49 79 4d 6a 41 77 4d 44 49 79 4d 6a 49 79 4d 6a 49 78 4d 44 45 77 4d 6a 49 79 4d 44 45 79 4d 6a 49 77 4d 54 45 77 4d 6a 49 79 4d 44 41 79 4d 6a 49 78 4d 6a 49 79 4d 44 45 79 4d 6a 49 77 4d 54 41 77

It contains just the 5 characters needed not the http://steamgifts.com/giveaway/ so you'll need to add that. Happy puzzling!

First hint: There are 3 stages to the puzzle the first of which is presented here.

Second hint: The first two stages are what they appear to be but the final stage is not.

Last hint: The final stage can be solved using a hint hidden somewhere within the original post.

Solution:
Convert given text from Hex.
Decode the Base64.
Take the final string and decode it using Morse Code using the 2s as the gaps the code requires.

I wonder what tool was used for that part. It's really a pain to decode manually.

Same problem. Looks as a custom cypher and probably isn't last step (unless there is a mistake there).

If we're talking about the same step, no, it's not custom (I've seen it used a couple more times), and no, it's not the last step.

If there is still no entries when I return later, I will have to think about hints I could give.

Bit of a bump for ending tomorrow. Several people have discovered the answer with the last hint. Good luck solvers!

I get that hint, I guess I'm missing how it all gets shortened into 5 characters.
