Flare gun goes to live servers till the end of the weekend

We have already mentioned a few times the flare gun (and even posted a guide on it) and now it has been officialy introduced to the players:

Hello everyone!

Last week we tested the Event Mode for the first time and were happy to see that so many of you enjoyed the new system. This week we’re mixing things up again and adding the Flare Gun to the loot table.


Flare Gun
Flare Gun is a special weapon that can be used to call in a care package to your location. Just aim it up, fire the flare and the airplane will drop a superior care package on that location. Only a limited number of Flare Guns will spawn in small single-story houses throughout the map (at this time only in Event Mode), but finding one is going to be worth your time!
