| Advanced Warfare has been updated with two new gear sets for this month |
CALL of Duty fans can look forward to some new gold content being released in Advanced Warfare ahead of the upcoming Reckoning expansion, Sledgehammer Games have confirmed.
Having promised that more freebies would be released outside of the current DLC offerings, the studio have now announced their plans to introduce the OpTic Gold Character Gear set.
Sledgehammer have put together the special supply loot items in honour of eSports team OpTic Gaming's second straight X Games Gold at the MLG Pro League Season 2 Championship.
It will include a brand new helmet, loadout and exoskeleton design based on the jerseys won by the team.
Two months of online competition brought together the eight best teams from the Pro League who competed for a share of a $75,000 prize pool and the opportunity to win X Games Medals.
OpTic Gaming dropped only two maps during their championship run, finishing in the Grand Finals with a 4-0 sweep of FaZe and have also been rewarded the special gear sets in-game.
Sledgehammer did something similar for Denial eSports, who were victorious back in March in the 2015 Call of Duty World Champions, releasing a special set of content in June and have also teased that they are planning a few more surprises in the coming weeks.
A blogpost from the studio explains: "To celebrate OpTic’s victory, we’re rolling out an exclusive set of OpTic Gold Elite Character Gear, including a Helmet, Loadout and Exoskeleton available only in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
"This special character gear set was inspired by the same 2015 Green Wall Jerseys the team wore when they won the gold medal in Austin."
"The OpTic Gold Character Gear Set will be available via Supply Drops and Advanced Supply Drops on Xbox first starting August 10th. In the meantime, we have some special giveaways planned over the coming weeks."
Sledgehammer have also released a new legendary gear set for fans celebrating the first year of Advanced Warfare, a post on the studio's official Facebook page announced: "We’re so excited to be able to grant the Ronin Mask to all the fans of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare today.
"As you may have noticed, the Ronin Mask is the Legendary Variant of the Sentinel Recon Mask, and is visually related to the challenge-based Marksman Mask. This particular mask is near and dear to everyone that works at the studio, being featured on the cover of one of our first in depth game features in July 2015’s Edge Magazine cover – essential reading material for eager fans last year to find out more about AW prior to its release.
"The full set is a special variant set commemorating that memorable moment in our studio history. It features a digital camo and red accents for a totally badass Legendary Gear Set as part of this year’s celebration. Aside from the helmet, the full set is available today for all platforms in Advanced Supply Drops and Supply Drops."
