Celebrating theHunter: Call of the Wild’s fifth anniversary!
Along with the release of the Modern Rifle Pack, we’ve also got some special treats as part of Call of the Wild’s fifth anniversary celebrations!
- Everybody will now be able to unlock a free special anniversary edition of the Rhino 454: the SUNDBERG 454. Just head to the in-game store, press “Purchase”, and it’s all yours. Ammunition for this weapon has also been unlocked for all to use. It still costs in-game money to unlock, but no weapon score is required.
- Replaced some existing loading screens with some gorgeous key art!
