The main event of the update will be the free-roam event: Fool’s Gold. A king-of-the-hill styled mode where a suit of golden armor will randomly spawn in the map. Players can earn point for killing the person wearing the armor, or killing other players while wearing the armor.

This mode is similar to the above mentioned Target Race, but the mode is set in a large open area, rather than on a set course.
