Welcome to the Valentine Week Massacre Event



At this oh-so-romantic time of year, we should all take the time to think about who's really important to us in that special way, then shoot them in the heart!!

Over the Valentine period, we will be sending all players that log in two Valentine Themed weapons. Both containing an exciting new modification.

STAR 556 'Love-Gun'



Colby SNR 850 'Cherub'







Killing enemies with these weapons will advance the two new roles that give Valentine themed prizes, including:




Dreamy Death Themes!




Sexy Symbols!



Heart-Shaped Sunglasses!



A Valentine’s Themed Tommy Gun! (Ten Day Lease)




Unlocking the Valentine's Snub-Nose for purchase from contacts.



Unlocking the Valentine's STAR 556 for purchase from contacts



We will also be selling a number of Valentine themed items on the 'Amorous’ Marketplace that will be unique for the Valentine’s event, so be sure to keep an eye out!

We will post more information soon!

So keep your eyes peeled for the day where everything turns Pink in San Paro.

Patch notes for Valentines Patch 1.6.2

1.6.1 (180) to 1.6.2 (182)
Valentines
• At this oh-so-romantic time of year, we should all take the time to think about who's really important to us in that special way, then shoot them in the face!
• During the Valentine period, we will be sending all players that log in a Valentine themed STAR 556 and Colby SNR 850 with a special Valentines mod to help spread the love! Killing enemies with these weapons will level two new roles that give Valentine themed prizes, including:
o Dreamy Death Themes!
o Sexy Symbols!
o Heart-Shaped Sunglasses!
o A Valentine’s Themed Tommy Gun! (for ten days)
• We will also be selling a number of Valentine themed items on the ‘Amorous’ Marketplace that will be unique for the Valentine’s event, so take a look!
• Added the Valentine themed STAR 556 'Love-Gun' and Colby SNR 850 'Cherub' that will be leasable from Contacts once the corresponding Valentine role has been completed.

Weapons
• We're moving to a better texture system that will support alternative weapon skins. Over the next few patches, we'll be updating all the weapons to use this. For now the following weapons have had their textures updated:
o Joker SR15 Carbine
o N-HVR 243 Scout
o Colby CSG-20
o Obeya CR-762
o STAR 556
• Updated the Joker Carbine - it now loses and gains accuracy faster, so becomes fairly inaccurate when fired at its maximum cyclic rate, but regains that accuracy very quickly.

Audio
• Updated almost all the ceremony sounds in the game. Some of the things you'll notice new audio for:
o Mission win/loss
o Role advancement
o Unlocks (Vehicles, Clothing, etc)
o Contact Level Up
o Contact Maxed Out
o Contact Referral
o Achievements
o Max Notoriety/Prestige

Other
• Fixed an issue in the Skill Rating/Threat Level system where it could wrongly apply large changes to a player's underlying skill value. We will be reverting any negative skill changes that this bug caused players.

A normal Tommy Gun will be available on ARMAS after the event is over

[SuperToaster]

By any chance will that coat that the Valentine's contact wears be available at all? LOL

[FM77]

I haven't been playing for a while but the pizza guy theme aroused me so much that I am returning to the game today!

And I supose one that we don't need to fork over actual cash for is a definite no, then?

Shame. This whole event was actually looking up, too.

[Lazaruz]

Seems like a nice event, and I do appreciate the effort put into it. But I'm just worried how will I be able to get 1500 kills (give or take) in those 10-15 player instances, that the recommended district button keeps shoving me in

Speed-Dater =D There's just so much to read here =D I don't really get it. One can win prizes by playing with events star and snr?
And when are the servers coming back up? :3

[Sw00f]

How long is this event gonna last? I can't imagine someone would get the Snub Nose role to 4 in time.

[PalmToFace]

Is it 250 or 25+75+150+250=500 like the normal role unlocks?
