The headline for this weekend is the expiration of the Gold Safe event and Koi Cards on March 22. If you haven't been grinding for those AK12 and M110 weapon skins, you are officially on the clock. These are some of the most sought-after cosmetics currently in the game, and once the window closes, there is no word on when or if they will return to the loot pool.
To help players push through those final rank tiers, a Double RP Ranked event is currently active. For those of us pushing for Ace or Legend, this is a massive efficiency buff. Combined with the free 3x3 Secure Cases being distributed to all players this weekend, the risk-to-reward ratio for high-tier raids has never been better. Having a 3x3 case essentially guarantees you can protect your most valuable loot even if you fail to extract, which is a huge safety net for aggressive playstyles.
These events serve as the bridge to the "Distortion" update launching on April 2nd. While the update brings the new Distorted Valley mode for $5, it also signals a massive rebalance of the tactical sandbox. We are looking at significant changes to Red Ammo, armor effectiveness, and even the removal of the standard First Aid Kit. Use this final weekend to burn through your current stash and finalize your Season 1 legacy before the new tactical reality sets in.
