Christmas 2014 - Introduction: Hello and welcome to APB:R's Christmas 2014 Event! This year we're bringing back the Beacon district to host the Snowball fight event and an all new event called "The 12-Deaths of Christmas". Players will be able to earn a new deployable from this event that they'll be able to use in other action districts. This new deployable is a Secret Santa box that will create a random weapon, with random modifications and a random skin. The box owner won't be able to pick up the randomly generated weapon - Christmas is about giving after all - but other players will, and those players will then be able to help the box owner advance special roles and achievements to earn all sorts of new goodies! This new deployable also introduces a new functionality - weapon dropping and weapon pick-ups. So, when a player is either killed while holding one of these gift box weapons, or, drops it themselves by switching weapons, the weapon itself will fall to the floor and another player will be able to pick it up! So, how do you earn these awesome new gift boxes? Well, if you jump into the Beacon district you'll be able to take part in the new 12 Deaths of Christmas event, finishing this event will gift you a number of boxes, depending on how well you did. The event itself is a free for all, reverse gun game, where the object is to work your way down the weapon tiers by getting kills. The first person to get the final kill with a snowball will win the event and earn the most gift boxes! These can then be used to earn new titles, skins and weapons (see below for the full details). We hope you enjoy this new release and, from everyone here at Reloaded, we wish you a very happy Holiday Season! The Reloaded Team Christmas Event District: Here players can play the Snowball Wars event from last year (where each player is giving a snowball launcher and a team kill total), as well as the new event "The 12 Deaths of Christmas", which will allow players to earn the new deployable Secret Santa Box, which can be used in the Action districts to earn a new weapon and skin. NOTE: These events will automatically cycle within the district, all you have to do is join. Each district will be capped at 12 players per-faction, as the Snowball Wars event is a team based event. EVENT 1: The 12 Deaths of Christmas: Free-for-all Event (no teams) Player's Objective: Kill other players to advance weapon tiers and earn prizes (see below). Progression: At the start of the game, players are given a weapon and they must advance through the weapon tiers until they reach the final tier - the first person to get a kill with the final tier weapon wins the game. Tier Breakdown: Further Information: The HUD will show remaining score required, current weapon tier, current place and remaining time. When a player reaches the final tier, all players will be notified of who this player is.
