We know you've been waiting or this all-week long. Well, we're ready to deliver! Here’s the gist of what’s up this week, but we strongly recommend checking out the video to get the full Guns of Boom News experience!

PVE CLOSED BETA

The community’s pretty hyped about this new game mode, where players get to face off against AI opponents, and the applications for the first closed beta test are still open. However, the opportunity to test-drive the new gameplay is only available to Android players at the moment. So, if you have a compatible device and want to get a taste of something exclusive and unique, apply for the beta right now.

If for some reason you can’t apply till the deadline or have a different smartphone OS, don’t be too disappointed – there will be more tests in the future, and eventually, we’ll roll out the new mode for everyone. Just keep an eye out for the announcements!

ESPORTS

The end of the second esports season is drawing near – on November 22-23, the best teams from around the world will fight for some serious cash and the title of Gods of Boom Champions. Learn more about it in our article about the events. Watching these final matches of the season will surely be a treat, but what about being a part of this competitive action? 

Got ya covered, gunslingers. There’ll be a special esports event in the game, which will let you learn more about the teams, try out their gear on the battlefield and, of course, win some great prizes. More details will be revealed as we get closer to the ultimate esports showdown of 2019.

COMMUNITY NEWS

It was tough to decide on the winners of the Halloween Comic Contest: so many awesome works, so many different approaches, and styles… But we managed. The first place goes to Diego Juarez with his dangerously adorable drawing that simply stole our hearts. All the cuteness meters in our office have been damaged due to overload, and we couldn’t be happier about it. You can check out the winning entry and all the other great works on Facebook.

Finally, if you’ve got some spook left in you from the Halloween celebrations, we’ve got 2 perfect Instagram AR masks for you – the ghost named Boo and the ferocious Wolfman! Check ‘em out, try ‘em on, mention us, and get a repost from the most bombastic account on Instagram!
 

Last but not least, we’re holding a new giveaway with prizes of 10,000 experience points in the current Battle Career. No jumping through hoops: just answer the question in the pinned comment under the original video and don’t forget to include your in-game ID. The results will be announced next week on the Guns of Boom News episode 11! Good luck.

That’s all for now, but the newsroom is already working on next week’s story, so stay tuned!
