Oh, I totally agree it needed a price increase. It just makes me sad that I can't get a crazy OP gun with tagging immediately xD

Why is it spoopy and not spooky

Thanks for the update devs! Im still hoping for some halloween themed diver skins to buy though.

Hopefully before the next patch we can use the beta test feature for a longer period of time first though? I didnt even get to try it out this time.

[~Ormagodon~]

Neat'O.

[FenrisNOR☠]

[Tanya Degurechaff]

If you're going to increase the price of the ADS by 10% how about lowering Hammerhead's total health by 10% too?
