  • Secure a total of 50 Operator kills to complete the entire challenge.
  • A Calling Card and an Emblem will be rewarded to all participating players.
  • Challenges with kill conditions by utilizing Melee, Finishing moves, and Battle Rifle longshots. The rewards may be a special weapon blueprint for Battle Rifles.
  • Sub-machine guns, Launchers, and Lethal tools to secure kills will be another set of challenges. This may contain a stealthy Sub Machine Gun blueprint.
  • Vehicle skins, Tier skips, and weapon blueprints have been confirmed as part of the rewards.
  • Players who complete all five challenges for each faction will be eligible for a special reward. An Operator skin for either Soap or Horangi, universal weapon camo, and a one-hour Double Battle Pass XP token will be given out depending on the faction that wins.

It is important to note that the event will have two sides - Task Force 141 and Shadow Company. Players can switch sides as many times as they want to earn all the available rewards by completing the challenges provided by both. This will allow the community to rake in as many cosmetics and reward items as possible by contributing to the event from both the sides.
