Last year's summer event was a hit among the community, which is why we're bringing back the fun — with some exciting new additions! The community has once more been on fire to make this content possible while the core of the Vanilla development team has shifted to the RWR2 development.
The good old off-duty veteran is back as fit as ever to continue causing chaos across the enemy lines!
We also added a new Cooling Box 3 as a random soldier drop with pre-existing rare stuff and with brand new equipment and goodies such as 5 new weapons.
In this update we added a new unit called the VIP exclusively for online invasion which is a blue helmet war reporter equipped with a ballistic shield and a camera. This pacifist unit needs to be escorted to another base. The commander will inform you on the tactical map where the VIP is and which base he needs to be escorted to. Note that the VIP is not spawning on every map but average on every third map. A successful mission rewards the entire server with a ticket which can recompense you with items from a pool of pretty much every equipment piece the Seasonal Event has to offer!
The Summer Event will last the entire Summer so there is plenty of time to get the most out of it! Enjoy!
