RAID: World War II News

The spooky season has passed us by, and it's time to take down the decorations.
Thank you for everyone who have participated in the halloween event, hope you enjoyed it and survived with only a handful of cavities.

For those who have missed out on the candy craze, fear not, the Tricky Treats card will be available as a regular card drop, allowing you to still experience the event.

[h2]The Lead Bar[/h2]
Liberated from a Nazi general who insisted the bars were just simple lead bars, used for sinking important documents within a briefcase in case of capture. Upon closer inspection this was not true.
We didn't want people who missed the event to be left empty handed, so the Lead Bar equipment will be available for everyone, with the Gold Bar turning into a selectable skin for it.

Additionally, these projectiles are now "client authoritative", meaning you control them and will be a lot more consistent when playing online.

The spooky time of year is here and we've cooked up some treats for you to sink your teeth into.

[h2]The Tricky Treats event[/h2]

Fight against the pumpkin masked menace and use their own candy against them, Foes will drop all sorts of curious candies for you to consume. Try them out and see if you can survive the aftertaste.

Consuming enough candies will trigger a Candy High, granting you increasing xp multipliers, but also activating permanent negative effects for the remainder of the raid.

Scoff down enough candy during the event and earn yourself a new throwable equipment; The Gold Bar!

The event runs from October 24 to November 10.
Note: Off season this event will become a challenge card that will drop on occasion, so the mode is not gone forever.

[h2]Warcry Overhaul[/h2]
Have you ever tried to activate Ignition while playing Demolitions, only to realize those coins ya got equipped aren't very usable with it?

Fear no more, for a new shipment of Cluster grenades have arrived, which will be temporarily equipped while Ignition is active, allowing you to fully utilize every Equipment.

[h2] Hello Raiders[/h2]
Even if history won't remember your deeds, you should still get rewarded for your achievements, but currently not every mission grants you this recognition. So it's time for you to change that.

There are a few missions in the game that are currently missing achievements for Very Hard completion, which we are in the process of remedying, and decided to let you come up with some good names for them. Share your name ideas with us in the comments, and we'll pick the ones we liked the most.

The raids that are missing the very hard difficulty achievement:

• Hunters
  
• Tiger Trap
  
• Bunker Busters
  
• Last Orders
  
• Extraction
  
• Rogue's Gallery
  
• Forest Convoy
  
• Gold Diggers
  

The Rules:
- Send them before October 6th.
- Keep it appropriate to the game and the raid.
- Keep the character limit reasonable.
- You are allowed to post multiple suggestions.

Of course if you have ideas for new achievements, feel free to share those too, we might implement some!
