Christmas Update 2020

Christmas is here! To celebrate the holidays, we have a few activities to participate in and prizes up for grabs.

GIFT HUNT
Santa has left gifts all over San Andreas (in the inner cities only). Find them to earn prizes! Prizes are rewarded at 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 450 gifts found. Try and find them all! See /gifthelp in-game for more info.

CAROL SINGING
Visit houses and try carol singing to spread the festive joy. Simply approach the door and press Y/N to knock/ring the doorbell and sing a carol for candy canes. See /carol in-game for more info.

CHRISTMAS TREES
Visit the Christmas tree every day at certain locations (see /tree in-game) for random prizes and surprises!

CANDY CANES
Candy canes are given for all the different activities and can be seen as a form of currency. They represent how involved each player is in the event. The players with the top 100 most candy canes at the end of the event will win prizes! See /candyhelp in-game for more info.

SPECIAL CLOTHING ITEMS
Special festive clothing items are up for grabs this event! They can be obtained randomly via the Christmas trees, carol singing and gift hunting.

For more info on all activities and prizes, type /xmas in-game.

ALSO…

NEW

• Ammo Bundle: 5 clips of ammo for all your weapons
• Weapon Bundle: 5 clips of ammo for your weapons, plus weapons for empty slots
• Welfare Bundle: Health and armour fully restored
• Welfare Plus Bundle: Health and armour fully restored, plus 1 medkit
• Combat Bundle: 5 clips of ammo for all weapons + fully restored health & armour
• Combat Plus Bundle: 5 clips of ammo for all weapons + fully restored health & armour + 1 medkit
• Vehicle Repair Bundle: 1 engine repair kit, 4 tire repair kits, and a jerry can
• Mega Bundle: Weapons, ammo, full health and armour, 1 medkit, 1 engine repair kit and 4 tire repair kits
• Decoy Drop: Explodes upon collection – bait your enemies!
  • You can only use the decoy supply drop once every 24 hours.
• Your bounty is now removed if you kill the player that placed it on you.
• Bandito can now be purchased from low-end dealerships and will appear as an ambient parked vehicle in ‘desert’ areas.
• Sniper skill can now be trained in shooting ranges.

CHANGED

• Weapon melee damage no longer deals high amounts of damage (the script did not distinguish between bullets and weapon melee). All weapon melee attacks will now deal 5hp damage.
• Weapon skills will no longer be boosted by weapon melee damage.
• Weapon skills will no longer be boosted by shooting team mates.
• Changed message shown when a player robs you so it’s contextual. Cops will see ‘arrest them to get the money back’ instead of ‘kill them to get the money back’ and medics will see neither.

FIXED

• You can no longer rob a player that is inside the shooting range or vice versa.
• Fixed inability to place boomboxes inside houses due to ‘not on solid ground’ error.
• Payphone menu is now closed when a player is cuffed/arrested/downed.
• Fixed a rare non-reported-yet bug where a player could be charged for a supply drop and then be told it could not be requested.
• Supply drop is no longer possible in water.
