Rogue En Vogue Event Comes to Dirty Bomb

Splash Damage gave an announcement recently about a new update for their free-to-play shooter Dirty Bomb. But hold on, this isn't just a small update, it's the biggest update in a long time and adds a whole bundle of content so you don't have to worry about finding something new and exciting to do in the game.

There's a new mercenary introduced to the game, the sniper Aimee, who carries a SNITCH Device which spots and weakens enemies, so whatever your opponent does to hide, you'll be no fool no more and spot him, giving him something he can feel. Alongside Aimee, there's a player-driven in-game event offering Limited Edition Loadout Cards, Trinkets and more.

The Rogue en Vogue event takes place over five weeks. During that time, players help Aimee hack into the MercSERV database to uncover who assassinated her client, Max Bashki. In the process, players get to unlock exclusive Trinkets and Limited Edition Loadout Cards. Each week, four Mercs are designated as Suspects and put into free rotation for all players to access. The Merc most taken in Squads will be listed as a ‘Prime Suspect’. In the fifth week, all four Prime Suspects will be placed into the final rotation, after which the most-taken Merc in Squads will be revealed as the Culprit.

Rogue en Vogue introduces a limited-time event currency called Decryption Cycles. Players earn them by playing in matches, completing special Missions and can also buy them with the existing in-game currency, Credits. Once you have this currency, don't let go as it is valuable and can be used to unlock a number of items including the unique Culprit Case. The culprit case is worth hanging on to as well so don't give it up, turn it loose.

Once the event finishes, you can crack the case open to receive an exclusive Loadout Card featuring a Limited Edition skin for the Culprit. Along with the Culprit Case, players can also acquire ‘Suspect Equipment Cases’ which give players the chance to obtain Limited Edition Suspect Loadout Cards for Mercs on rotation each week, and three unique Weapon Trinkets depicting levels of MercSERV security. If you can get one of these unique items, people will look at you and think "Whatta Man".
