did all the event-challenges, was fun as always

playing VT2 since 2018. even though I was always there, i missed some halloween portrait
And i’m glad some of them returned, giving a chance to everyone to acquire them. I was actually missing one, and i got it now!

i wish the red skull khorne portrait can come too one day!
hopefully even anniversary ones could come back
was playing since back in all anniversaries but unfortunately couldn’t get them because of reasons.

was fun btw! happy halloween everyone
and til next event! looking forward for the Gifts from the Wolf-Father as well! <3

Now that we can purchase all previous event skins does this mean we will be able to purchase the fatshark hat when the anniversary event comes around? That would be awesome I’ve been dying to have it on zealot

[Amelia]

i have those hats

And i’d be happy if also new players or for the people that have missed, having a chance to get those too!
