I don't want to take to much of your time - its Friday and Im sure you're eager to play! So what changes Hotfix 5.0 is bringing?

Fixes & Improvements

[h2]🔥 Beat the challange and unleash the Legend: Tommy Gun 🔥[/h2]

Looks cool right? I thought so! And it can be yours under one condition: you'll beat the challange!

[h3]What exactly do you have to do? Easy! Invite your friends to join the game and together break the weekend peak of 1,500 players! [/h3]

Shouln't be a problem for you Survivors!



So what exactly Tommy can do for you? Locked behind rusted steel and buried in forgotten crates, the legendary Tommy Gun waits for a true Survivor to claim it. With its massive drum magazine, it spits lead like no other—perfect for mowing down hordes before they even reach you.

Sure, it reloads slower than a steam engine in winter, but those who time it right will catch a brief, golden window for a turbo-charged reload, letting you get back to blasting faster—and harder.

Only found in hidden chests. Legendary. Powerful. Iconic.

[h2]Will you be the one to wield it? You can, but you have to beat the challange! Good luck Survivors! [/h2]
