It is called the NA-45 Sniper Rifle, which boasts explosive rounds.

Every other shot you fire triggers explosive damage that can hit multiple players. To balance this powerful ability, the overall damage of a single shot is lower than other snipers but headshots can still take down an enemy in one hit.

Halloween Standoff

This original Halloween map from back in October of 2019 is returning and available on a variety of different Multiplayer modes.

You can explore the frightening but also delightfully decorated streets of Halloween Standoff in the modes TDM, DOM, Hardpoint, KC, Attack of the Undead, and Cranked.

Pumpkin Confirmed & Rewards

One thing that we’ve heard time and time again across 2020 is why don’t we just turn the dog tags in Kill Confirmed into Pumpkins? Okay, maybe that was just us thinking of fun ways to adjust some beloved modes, like Kill Confirmed, for Halloween.

This is a variant of Kill Confirmed is both a playlist and a featured event! It will be available on a variety of maps listed below, but surprise…it is also 10v10 Kill Confirmed! Now you can combine your love of 10v10 mode with the Halloween theme and Kill Confirmed.

Rewards include:

• (Epic) Charm - Pumpkin Smile

• (Rare) Weapon - DL Q33 - Jack O' Lantern

• (Rare) Weapon - MSMC - Jack O' Lantern

• (Rare) Sticker – Deadlocks

Attack of the Undead

We have seen many requests for Attack of the Undead to return around Halloween and we hope you can imagine how hard it was not to blurt out “don’t worry, it is on the way!”.

There are no specific events tied to this one but is available in both the Halloween Standoff Playlist and its own Attack of the Undead Playlist. Enjoy it and we hope it feels perfect for the Halloween season!

New King map & rewards

This small and balanced map is available only for Gunfight and 1v1 Duel. It is designed for those tense, precise, and sweat-inducing modes that many love.
