• Based on your votes we’ll bring any three of these events back again to round out the Armistice celebration!

If that wasn’t enough, while each event is active, all lockboxes that correspond to that event will also be available in the Defiance store for 25% off!

Just in case you thought we couldn’t fit any more awesome into one month, think again – we’re just getting started!

Witness the return of Defiant Few Reputation Jackpots! Each box costs 1,000 DF Rep and will reward you with one, untradable, random Jackpot from any of the 9 previous events from the past year. Each Daily and Weekly Contract for Defiant Few will give a big batch of reputation.

Jackpot types in the Armament Lockbox: Mass Cannon, Big Boomer, Blast Rifle, Tachmag Pulser, Wolfhound, Invader, Stingray, Berserker, SAW, SS-2 Ranger, Fragger, Derailer, Mazu Blast Rifle, Heavy Scattergun.

Get your hands on a brand new lockbox from the Defiance store (only available during Armistice), the Premium Armament Lockbox. These boxes feature two new backpack synergies, 13 JP weapons, and 4 JP shields! They can be purchased directly from the Defiance Store. You can also pick up the non-premium version Armament Lockboxes for Reputation from every rep vendor but the Defiant Few!

If you remember our very popular Black Friday Bargain Box from last year, it’s back in action but with a new name – the Armistice Bargain Box. Get tons of loot for a super low price! The Jackpot pool has been updated with new Jackpots. 2 new weapons and 2 new shields replace the previous super rare loot.

The super rare weapons from the Armistice Bargain Box have to be seen to be believed. Seriously, these will blow your mind!

• Sol Destroyer is a highly modified BMG that fires an extremely powerful particle beam to deal MASSIVE DAMAGE!
• Apocalypse isn’t just a clever name. This is a Nuclear Rocket Launcher. We’ll let that sink in for a moment. You’ll need to charge this weapon up to unleash the full fury of the mushroom cloud of destruction.

The Armistice Bargain Box is only available during the weekends so there are just 8 days during the month that you can pick these up.

Come celebrate Armistice with us and post your three favorite events down below! Let your voice be heard and help shape the festivities!
