Fading Star Event

Which Weapon Should You Pick?

We've created a guide to help you choose with of the 5 weapons you should get when you reach the Battle Pass rank, so make sure to consult it before choosing, as it's an important decision to make.

Gnostic Hymn and Chorus

As was the case with Catch the Wind, those of you who have already gotten Gnostic Hymn will only need to exchange the remaining difference in cost in order to unlock Gnostic Chorus. This means that you won't have to spend to get both packs - you can get them for a total of now.
