New Content
"Big Hunt" Event
We are glad to present to you an all-new event "Big Hunt". It preserves the general principle - play, earn special currency and spend it on the desired items, but the gameplay has been reworked. Event novelties include:
- a PvE mission "Retaliation";
- a PvP mode "Gun Game";
- special contracts;
- an updated shop with event items;
- a vault allowing to accumulate more currency;
- rewards for a certain number of victories in the modes.
You can learn more about the event and its features in a separate publication. You can also check it out in the game.
PvE Mission "Retaliation"
In the new mission, you will continue to fight for Blackwood. The soldiers will have to search the enemy logistics base and uncover the secrets the opponent is hiding.
The warehouse is well guarded, and a lot of challenges will await you on the way: turrets, mines, electric traps, as well as the final boss - a helicopter. Be careful! In addition, there are several Easter eggs hidden on the map - can you find them all?
PvP mode "Gun Game"
The PvP part of the event features a new "Gun Game" mode where the main goal is to eliminate opponents with different arms and go through the entire chain of available weapon models as quickly as possible. In this mode, players do not choose weapons. The arm automatically changes as soon as the soldier meets the condition of the current stage. The one who first tries out all the weapons and performs the final kill with the last arm wins.
The game in the new mode is carried out on an equal footing. All players have the same equipment, advance through the same chain of weapon models and start with the same guns. To move to a new stage and get a new weapon, the player needs to make two kills. After death, the character will respawn in a random place on the map and will be invulnerable for some time (or until the first movement).
Special Contracts
There are now three event contracts at your disposal. Complete them to add even more event currency to your account. With its help, you will quickly get closer to the desired reward and will be able to significantly increase your earnings in the "Big Hunt". Click on the images to learn contract details.
Event Rewards
SIX12 AUTO-SD
The SIX12 AUTO-SD is a modern bullpup shotgun chambered for the 12-gauge shells. The novelty sports a high rate of fire, good accuracy and excellent range. In addition, the gun has increased damage multipliers. The perks are set off by a significantly reduced (compared to the rest of the Medic's arsenal) base damage and a modest cylindrical magazine that can hold up to 6 rounds.

This combination of characteristics embodies a classic arm for the Medic - a fighter who easily eliminates opponents at close range, but gradually loses power as the firing distance increases. Be sure to play with the new weapon and share your thoughts!
Agent "Carp" Set
The agent pack includes weapons and camos of the "Zone" series, a unique skin for Medics, weapon charms and achievements designed in the agent's style, as well as new contracts yielding the listed content and other useful items. Learn more about the pack and the agent's story in a separate publication.
