The liberation of the Philippines from Japan began on October 20th, 1944, when American forces under the command of General Douglas MacArthur landed on the island of Leyte. Two years earlier, after Roosevelt ordered him to withdraw from the Philippines, fearing that Corregidor would soon fall and he would be taken prisoner, MacArthur said: “I shall return”. This campaign was the fulfillment of that promise.

Before last major’s update, Type A sword pistol used one-handed charging animations like european sabers.
As part of animation ‘improvements’, animation got changed to two-handed charge, like what trench club had, blocking the first-person view.
Ironically, same trench clubs got changed to one-handed charging same update.
Nice rewards, they are fairly related to the event as well.
My only complaint is that I just finished the event grind yesterday, I was hoping for a little break…
But a Swordpistol worth more than my sleep schedule.
Yes but changes to any code should consider bugs, whether mentioned specifically or not, I think you might be new, but some bugs are never mentioned, in patch notes or not, it is luck if on CBR or mentioned on responses here… in the type of posts.
