no it hasn't been. it was introduced to armas with the "rocker" bundle by g1 in 2013 before, they promised ingame exclusivity (JT store in this case) - same as for explosive weapons (contacts/JT), that should've never been on armas (but now we also have the aaepd)   i'm pretty sure it was annual until they forgot about it in 2015   LO never promised such a thing, in opposition to G1 who broke all of those subsequently
