During the four-day event, bazooka kills count towards personal and global team totals in any game mode. Players can earn up to three personal rewards during Bazooka Bowl: Mech Visor facewear, a white Mech Bazooka skin, and a white Mech Suit outfit. Team rewards are also up for grabs, with the following unlocked when Bazooka Bowl concludes:

Ahead of next week’s event, players can today immediately dive into the brand new Battlegrounds Bank arena in Last Worm Standing, Last Squad Standing, and Deathmatch modes, as well as the newly-added and highly-requested Team Deathmatch mode.
