Firewall Zero Hour’s New Season – Operation: Black Dawn
New Map
Operation: Black Dawn launches with a brand new map, Oil Rig, available for free for all players. Set at nighttime, on an oil rig in the Caspian Sea, you’ll want to keep an eye out for enemies in the close quarter sections of this rig. Lots of unique cover points to take advantage of, as well as dangerous engagement zones. Players will also find themselves immediately in this scene when loading up the game, as the Oil Rig is the new Lobby environment during Operation: Black Dawn.
New Contractor
This season brings a brand new Contractor to the roster: Saul. Saul and his Skill are available to Operation: Black Dawn Op Pass holders.** Saul hails from Spain, having grown up in the coastal city of Huelva. An expert on the open water, he enlisted in a Spanish military academy and was later handpicked to join the special forces. His Skill of “Tactician” allows players the ability to pick up planted equipment. Players who enjoy playing tactically are sure to be big fans of this Skill!
New Cosmetic Rewards
There are 25 new cosmetic Rewards available this season. Upon completion of Missions, a variety of different trinkets, face paints, and camo skins can be equipped by players. In addition to Free Mission Rewards, Operation: Black Dawn Op Pass** holders have access to Premium and Bonus Mission Rewards. This season also marks the first time that graphic reticles for weapons will be available as Rewards for players in Free, Premium, and Bonus missions!
New Weapon
Arriving in Operation: Black Dawn is a brand new weapon, the Custom X-MR, available to all players upon completion of the Free Mission starting February 4. The Custom X-MR is a fully-automatic SMG that packs a punch — perfect for the short-range engagements that you’ll come across on the Oil Rig!
New Legendary Weapon Skin
The Legendary Weapon Skin of Operation: Black Dawn is Saul’s CQB — available to Operation: Black Dawn Op Pass holders** who complete all Free, Premium and Bonus Missions in Operation: Black Dawn (a total of 24 Missions) and redeemed for 250,000 Crypto.
New Operation: Black Dawn Op Pass and Hack Key Bundles
The Operation: Black Dawn Op Pass** allows players access to 16 additional Mission cosmetic Rewards, plus access to the new Contractor Saul, and the ability to unlock the Legendary Weapon Skin after completion of all 24 Missions this season. Hack Keys can be used to instantly complete any Operational Mission and receive its cosmetic Reward — a great option for players who don’t have as much time to play as they would like. If you have any Hack Keys left over from last season (Operation: Heartland), you can use them on Missions this season (Operation: Black Dawn).
