1. Rohit's whole arguement about the free flare is based on the halloween haunt events. So, if we look at those, halloween haunt (2015) gave out only the gear sets for monster and warlock. spooky nights (2016) gave out only the monster and warlock weapons. So basically, last year gear, this year weapons is the pattern. BUT winter camp doesn't follow it exactly. Winter camp 2015 gave RED SANTA GEAR only, no classic santa gear. And winter camp 2016 is giving away RED SANTA and GREEN SANTA gear. THUS, winter camp doesn't follow the pattern that rohit is describing if free flare and CBR are this year. If it were following the patterm, then free flare and free cold beam rifle should be NEXT WINTER CAMP, since this one gave out both gears and, following the pattern, the NEXT ONE should give out weapons.

2. Some people are saying that DLE selling santa bundles and cbr means that there will be no free flare or CBR. But during spooky nights, DLE was selling Monster bundle, Warlock bundle, and also the halloween weapon collection bundle in both 2015 and 2016. While they were selling those bundles, they were still giving away the WEAPONS in those bundles (toxic and Haunted guns) in 2016, and the GEARS in those bundles (in 2015). So we see that DLE basically doen't really care about giving away full bundles while trying to sell them so using that logic for this event is totally baseless.

3. During Halloween haunt, the prizes shown were only weapons/skins (specifically DBSG, Stake, Scoped assault rifle, Stig, and halloween nades), but Halloween haunt also gave out the gear sets. During Spooky nights however, the prizes again were only weapons/skins, but DLE did only give out those weapons and skins that they showed. Winter camp on the other hand, showed only the santa gear and gave only the santa gear. So here we see that DLE is pretty good at giving out exactly what is shown in the Prize picture, but is not consistent. Therefore, the arguement that DLE won't/will give out flare for free because it is/isn't shown is pretty weak, as it could swing both ways based on previous halloween and christmas events.

As a college student, i'm trying to be unbiased about this thing, and there is actually more to consider than what we are already talking about. Regardless, DLE has already decided what will happen, so arguing about it wont make a difference or change their minds. I get your point. I am fascinated by all you guys. You are all arguing whether the flare is free or not. But I would suggest you all to just kinda wait for one more week to find out. Have patience guys. It will help you in your life. BTW about that whole lobby with flare, my point is that after they gave agc for free everyone used it like for 2-3 weeks. Then came the superstars event immediately and everyone kind of stopped using it. I rarely see AGC users now. A new event distracts them from their "stick with one goddamn weapon and be the best noob in the world" attitude. DLE's throwing events back to back. If the next event is chinese new year ( which will most probable not come ) or some other new event which will start as soon as this winter camp ends, then everyone will start using the recommended weapons or weapons which will give them an advantage ( like explosives weapons gives 2x points againts nian beasts ).
