Flare gun coming out or not is still imo 50-50. from picture evidence and rohit it's coming, but i dont think DLE would screw us over again like the AGC... i had hoped that it would come out (being a freemium player), but after spending some money on some bundles this update, am now strongly opposed to it being free. it just feels unfair to everyone who actually bought the weapon, and all the noobs spamming it in multi would be extremely annoying. However, ever since the damned Rohit video on free flare, there has been alot of support for a free flare, and DLE might listen.

DLE only has a coupla options now

1. NO FREE FLARE

2. Flare gun free, but trial to get it extremely hard (like MXF1, or other challenge-type events)

3. DLE releases free flare, but as a separate "mini-event" after winter camp, similar to the april fools event. A one-day, 5-6 trial event that is also heavily based on challenges, but not as difficult as option 2.

4. DLE releases Flare gun in separate "mini-event" like option 3, but requires some sort of payment (with real currency), or a prerequisite to "join" the event. payment would be around $1-$2, prerequisite would be something along the lines of: lv.50 and owns a certain gear that not many noobs will have. If this happens, then the event will be even easier, but with the pre-req would ensure that noobs wouldn't get the weapon.

IF DLE were to release flare for free in the current event without making it extremely difficult to obtain, there isn't much we can do, but i would be hella annoyed, as many of you would be as well.
