CODMAS Skin Bundle and Map Reskins

Players who get the Season 1 Santa Gnaws Ultra Skin bundle may receive a boost towards their progression in the CODMAS event. The Santa Gnaws Ultra Skin spreads fear and horror and is the perfect cosmetic to add to your arsenal. The bundle comes with the following:

The “Mad Red Menace” Assault Rifle Blueprint
The “Undead Santa” Operator Skin for Klaus
The “Naughty List” SMG Weapon Blueprint,

Players can also visit classic, holiday-themed maps like Hangover 24/7 and Shipmas 24/7, which have been reskinned to match the holiday feel. Other Maps that will undergo a Christmas reskin are Infected Holiday LTM and Gunfight.

CODMAS Additional Challenges

CODMAS will feature additional holiday challenges players must complete to earn valuable loot across the map. These include:

Deck the Halls: Santa has delivered presents across the Urzikstan map. Players should drop in, head to these trees, and open caches and crates to obtain loot and a key. Be ready to fight, as Santa will send a flare when you get close to the loot area.
Zombie Santa Boss Fight: Players must obtain a key from the Deck of the Halls to open a portal, where they’ll face off the Juggernaut Santa. Defeat him to acquire valuable loot.
Slay Ride Event: Hope on the Urzikstan train to find Santa handing out presents to “well-behaved” operators. Those who misbehave will face consequences.
Snow Fight LTM: Find lethal Snowballs across the Urzikstan map and use them to defeat the undead.
