It’s a two-week sprint ending on December 16, offering a mix of XP boosters and unique gear for those willing to adjust their playstyle. If you want to kit out your operator with the new "Candid" skin, you're going to have to prove you can win across the entire spectrum of game modes.
The Challenge Breakdown
This isn't just about farming kills. The event structure—comprising 10 main challenges and 3 bonus missions—forces players to engage with the core mechanics of all-out warfare. The objectives include vehicle captures, sprinting durations, spotting drones, and critically, reviving teammates on enemy objectives.
For anyone tired of medics running past their downed body to chase a kill, this event is a blessing. The challenges incentivize playing the objective (PTFO) and supporting the squad, which aligns perfectly with the tactical focus of Dagger 1-3's operations against Pax Armata. Expect public lobbies to be slightly more coordinated while everyone chases these revives.
How do I unlock the Candid Soldier Skin?
The "Candid" skin is the ultimate reward here, but it's locked behind the final bonus mission. It requires more than just participation; you need to secure wins. To finish the set, you must achieve a victory in Conquest, Breakthrough, Rush, Strikepoint, and Team Deathmatch.
This is where the difficulty spikes. You can't just grind XP; you need a competent squad to carry a match in modes you might not usually play. Conquest mains will have to adapt to the close-quarters chaos of TDM, and Rush players will need to handle the scale of Breakthrough.
All Event Rewards
Here is what you are working toward before the December 16 deadline:
- XP Boosters: Essential for speeding up your Season rank.
- 'Zenith' Parachute: A distinctive visual upgrade for your deployments.
- 'Bull Headed' Patch: A cosmetic badge for your player card.
- 'Candid' Soldier Skin: The completionist reward for finishing the bonus mission chain.
The clock is ticking. You have until mid-December to complete the checklist. Grab a squad, focus on the objective, and get those wins logged.
