Update 6.8 - Double Trouble in the Arena

Update 6.8.0


[h2]Double Trouble in the Arena[/h2]

Kicking it off we’ve got the World Tour where this week, one game show event at a time just isn’t enough - Double Dose is here, and the Arena will never be the same.

For the first time ever, multiple game show events will run simultaneously, throwing contestants into a chaotic cocktail of hazards, modifiers, and total unpredictability. We’ve got three lethal combos lined up for this round of madness:
  • Alien Invasion + Low Gravity
  • Mega Damage + Drop Bombs
  • Orbital Laser + Head Hunter (yep, it’s back!)


This one’s brought to you by OSPUZE, who’s clearly decided that more is more. So expect the unexpected, stay on your toes, and adapt fast. This World Tour stop is going to hit hard and weird.

You’ll be dodging lasers and low-grav aliens across:
  • Monaco
  • Kyoto
  • Bernal
  • Skyway Stadium.

[h3]What’s in the Store?[/h3]
This week’s store has something for everyone, from tropical heat to silent strikes:

Tropic Takedown Set – A jungle-ready outfit complete with the Guerilla Grip Lockbolt skin and the “Knife to Meet You” emote
Brushline Bundles – Stealthy, leafy Leaf No Trace skins for weapons across all three build types
Live Rounds – A new crossbody cosmetic that says “every bullet tells a story”.

We’re also saying farewell (for now) to Close Quarters and the P.E.A.C.E. Center. As for the Wheel of Trust, ticket collection has ended, but if you’ve still got tickets to spend, you can cash them in or pick up any final pieces to complete your set and unlock the Bull’s Eye Barry outfit.

Whether you're popping emotes in low gravity or getting headhunted under an orbital laser, one thing’s clear: Double Dose is not for the faint of heart. Let’s get into it.

Update 6.7 - Boom Goes the Drop!

Update 6.7.0


[h3]Update 6.7 - Boom Goes the Drop[/h3]

This week’s update is light on downloads, but heavy on chaos.

No patch to install, no balance changes or bug fixes. Just fresh content and explosive gameplay straight from the World Tour.

Before we dive into what’s new, a heads-up: we’re now in the final week of ALFA ACTA’s sponsored events: Close Quarters and Wheel of Trust. If you haven’t jumped in yet, now’s the time to complete the contracts, spin the wheel and enjoy some chaotic TDM matches at the P.E.A.C.E Center!

[h3]World Tour: Last Drop[/h3]
This one’s about going out with a bang.
Every time a contestant is eliminated, they drop a live bomb. Pick it up, throw it at an enemy, or run for cover - just make sure you’re not holding on to one when the timer runs out. Each explosive sticks around for a few seconds… or detonates instantly on impact.

Arenas in rotation:
  • Fortune Stadium
  • Seoul
  • Las Vegas Stadium
  • SYS$HORIZON

[h3]This Week’s Store Rotation[/h3]
Over in the store, Arena Security is taking charge with the Lockdown Triad outfit set, while the Final Carving Set adds a stylish new inspect and intro to sharpen your look. ALFA ACTA fans can grab the Redline Overrule bundle for a sleek set of weapon skins, and Junior’s Foresight brings a tactical edge with a knife skin straight from the top floors of the corporate tower.

Get ready to throw hands and bombs. This week, the chaos doesn’t stop until the Last Drop!
